Product Description
You’re serious about your equipment, whether it’s high end camera gear or a hi-fi audio setup. When you’re in transit, you can’t risk letting your valuable tools be mangled by mishaps Read More
Got it from FedEx on Friday and I like it so far. Not as clean and easy to takeout foam cutouts as I thought it'd be, but after a little bit of time, looks pretty good. Fits a decent amount of equipment for small to medium jobs.
marckbrunoCame to the comments hoping for some packing-eye-pron like this, and you delivered. MD give this guy a coupon and use this image to sell more of these cases! 😃
It is a great deal, and I ordered one. But to advertise a percent of savings based on MSRP is misleading when you can buy direct from the manufacturer for a lower price.
MeepsiI'm surprised they're still running "$129.95 MSRP".

It is $66.99 from Monoprice. You could say it's $78.02 shipped from Monoprice. Though who orders just one item from Monoprice?!? Either way, $129.95 MSRP is just straight BS. 23% savings is the most you should say. And that should be plenty.
No, you did say "basically the same", implying some difference. I just wanted to point out the big ones for those who read that and might not go research before the drop is over.
I've looked at the Apache one at HF myself, and if i find myself needing a smaller case I would definitely consider them (I don't do much boating with sensitive equipment anyway lol). They seem sturdy enough, and decent foam from the feel of it. Definitely better then any of their previous foam filled cases
SMN_DSGNThanks for this, almost forgot about the HF cases and a regular search for hard case doesn't turn up the Apache case series. The depth on the largest HF case is better than this MP one too. Win win, plus with a flyer super coupon you get $8 off to bring it to ~$32.
Pelicans are most certainly not overpriced. A factor in price is quality and product life, and comparing to a pelican case there is no better quality. They are a trusted brand and for marginally more money than these cases you can own them. The military drops gear in them out of planes for a reason, they last and have been proven to last.
DionysusThe outside is durable, the foam is ...foam. he only difference is the latches on the monoprice are harder to use as they are super stiff and sit in a recess of the shell so they are a pain to unsnap.
As others have noted, I see no description, including dimensions. I'm inclined to disagree with Tilell, who wrote this is the same as http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=10621. The listed MSRP for this one is $130. The former was $67. So maybe this is a larger model?
In any event, this is kind of lazy on the part of the Massdrop guys. Include the specs, FFS, before asking me to join the drop, eh?
unbornchickenAgreed. The MSRPs listed around here are truly worthless and—whether it's intentional or not—misleading. Over time I've come to use Massdrop more as a place to find cool stuff rather than a place to buy cool stuff, all because, more often than not, I can get the same exact product for a comparable price elsewhere, and receive it in an infinitely more reasonable amount of time.
The "MSRP" on this item is WAY off. On the Monoprice site, it is listed at $66.99, not $129.95. They also have free shipping sometimes (but not at the time of this posting). This deal saves you some money for sure, but nothing close to what it would appear. @PeterK Please look into why the listed MSRP is over double what Monoprice is charging (without any apparent sale on the item)

anonymousBob22313Yeah, I'd like to know why as well. $50 for a $130 item sounds like a bargain. $50 for $67 is still a better deal but, come one, the difference is $63.
How is the MSRP determined for Massdrop items?
