I was almost set to get the Pelican and I read about this case.Does anyone have any input. They look the same quality but the HPRC is 25% less in price. I dont want to put price first but the test quality was near to the same. My head is hurting! Any input would help!

I like Storm cases better, better locking and venting for pressure changes

yeah i think storm cases are better.

compared to both the HPRC and pelican, its lighter and smaller on the exterior while keeping the same interior space.

I use the High Performance Resin Cases - I have 3 different rollers

IMHO the wheels and handle are better on the HPRC and I wanted a case that I could spot easily in a crowed event.

I use the padded ones and I have a removable shoulder bag that fits into the small roller that airline approved.

HPRC used to sell direct through e-bay, I'm not sure they still do but it's worth checking out.

It's lens. There's no such word as lense.
