A hard case that seals, sized for pieces up to 13.5 inches and everything that travels with them. The point of this one is the foam: it ships as diced blocks you pull out by hand, so the interior ends up shaped around your glass rather than the other way round.
From our own use
We use this for storage. Closed, it looks like any other equipment case, so it can sit in a closet without drawing a second look.
What you get
- Holds accessories up to 13.5" x 9" x 4.5"; external 16" x 12.5" x 6.5"
- Thick composite injection-moulded shell, built to take impact and pressure
- Two dual-layer diced foam inserts — pull out only the blocks you need
- Two latch closures with a waterproof, airtight seal
- Rubberised carrying handle
- Two sets of built-in padlock rings (padlocks not included)
Why the foam matters more than the shell
Glass rarely breaks from the drop itself. It breaks because it moved inside whatever it was packed in. Diced foam lets you cut a separate socket for a downstem, a bowl and a body so nothing touches anything else in transit. Spend ten minutes on the layout once and you stop repacking it every trip.
Add a humidity pack
This case is airtight, which makes it a real humidity environment rather than just a box. Pair it with an Integra Boost 67 g pack sized to what is inside, and a mini hygrometer so you can see it holding rather than hope it is.
