Overview

The Pelican 1040 Micro Case (1040-025-170) is a compact protective enclosure built for safeguarding small electronics and valuables against water, dust, and impact. Rated IP67, the case withstands submersion at one meter for up to 30 minutes, making it a dependable companion for boating, hiking, camping, and other outdoor pursuits. The body is constructed from Pelican's proprietary blend of homo and co-polymers, delivering crushproof performance in a lightweight package. A rubber liner inside the case serves double duty — absorbing shock to protect contents while functioning as an o-ring seal that keeps moisture and fine particles out.

The clear polycarbonate lid is a practical design choice, allowing users to quickly verify the case's contents without breaking the seal. Stainless steel hardware ensures the closure mechanism holds up against corrosion over time. With exterior dimensions of 7.50 x 5.06 x 2.12 inches and an interior measuring 6.50 x 3.87 x 1.75 inches, the 1040 is sized for items like smartphones, small GPS devices, keys, and identification cards. The solid red base provides high visibility, making it easy to spot in a gear bag or on the ground.
