I have chosen to give the Pelican 1120 case a 5 star rating due to a number of features.
1- The case is incredibly sturdy. I don't worry about things falling on it and damaging my equipment. I often worry about damaging my lights or my camera in their soft bags (or semi soft or whatever you want to call a normal camera bag). With this case I can literally throw it in the back of my car and go on about my business.
2- The foam was pretty simple to adjust for my needs. While not exactly "picking" as described, its easy enough to cut out to fit your object. It also feels like it should offer a good amount of shock protection for my equipment.
3- It fits what I wanted to put inside it perfectly. There is no extra room and I am able to fit everything I wanted to inside.
I'm using this to store and transport a Tascam DR-40 recorder, along with a windscreen, cords and extra batteries. I also discovered that I can fit the manual behind the top padding (I had to cut maybe 1/4 inch off the top and bottom of the booklet) so it can come along too.
As a result of using this case I plan to purchase more Pelican cases for other gear and possibly to use as luggage for my travelling with the military. I recommend these cases if you have delicate things or want peace of mind for your possessions.

Great little case for traveling painting kit
This box is very cool. I am using it for a travel watercolor painting box. Everything I need stays contained in the box, and fitting the brush washing bottles in the foam decreases the chance for water spilling.I like the foam plucking idea. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius. You can shape the openings exactly to the things you want to have in the case.I would like the foam to be a better quality. More dense.The plucking out the foam was easy, and it works well.The last piece of foam that you use to measure and cut open to top the other foam off to make it look more neat: this I was not successful at.The foam is flimsy and did not cut well.And the holes in the foam should be smaller and denser so that when you trace out the shapes to cut them, it's difficult to do. I couldn't draw on it or cut it with precision. So it looked too sloppy to use.I will buy another piece of foam from a hardware store and try again.I haven't tested this for strength or durability, nor for it being watertight.Down the road, after some use, I will update.I like the color blue, and I'm thinking that in the future, when I need cases for travel, I will look at their line of products. Especially for things that need protection.What I am using this for is more for convenience and it looks really cool, and for a very low price.I can paint in the car with less risk of staining the car with water or paint, as everything is nice and tidy and secure.I will post pictures to show what I mean.

Perfect for small DSLR's and lenses, this thing is a TANK. My only issue is with the "pick and pull" style foam - it takes some getting used to at first but once you do it's pretty easy.
Here's a tip: Do Not Use Tools. Use just your fingers to tear the pieces and TAKE YOUR TIME.
