Thanks for the vote of confidence!
At this price point we are trying to make a little traction, and plus we do have some leftover materials from other projects, that would subsidize this a bit. Plus it's MDS, so giving a better price is worth it, especially if in the long run we can sell a few more.
Once we do have to start purchasing ply and foam, then we are going to have to reconsider pricing.
Also I was a bit concerned with getting too close to the price of buying a similar sized pelican case. Now what we are doing is different, ours is lighter & we can customize color to a certain extend, but it's not buoyant, & if you drop a Pelican case down the stairs you'll most likely have no damage to the case, where ours is going to show a little wear, but definitely protect what you have inside.
So here's a question, what would you pay for a case like this?
Not sure on the torture test, but based on our knowledge of wood working and tendency to over-build things, my thoughts would be that it's pretty durable, no scientific evidence to prove it, and they are too pretty to intentionally damage!

I can do the closing latches like you see on the box that have a keyed access, or a loop for your own lock in silver no problem. The black hardware is a little harder to come by, but an educated guess would be about $200 or less to add the locks.
Hmm, it seems to be a bit of a theme to charge more...What would you pay for a case like this?
We didn't do straps, but the foam is at a height on the bottom so that just about anything you put in there would be secure between the 2 pieces of foam. I can also get layered foam that can be trimmed the exact shape of whatever you'd be carrying. The straps are a good idea, pretty sure we can make that happen.

I can get different lock set ups for them yes. I've had someone approach me about doing sound equipment in a case like this.
Nice work. Any added advantage of using corner fittings that key "stacked" cases together so they do not slip off? It would make the more friendly when stacked during transportation. Only useful if one has multiple cases of the same size.
Good luck.

Yep! Can do! We would just use a different corner protector, and the other ones are made so you can next the boxes of similar size together.

I purchased one of the larger cases in gray. I have to say the qualityand finish are great. I usually beat my cases up in the trunk going to the range and I can say this puppy will hold up for one hell of a long time. Definitely a good value at this price. Customer service was great and stayed in touch during the whole process. A definite thumbs-up from me! Thanks again for the great case!

Those look just like cases I have made from Impact Case http://www.icc-case.com/ . Is that you, Moose?
