What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly express high satisfaction with the Pelican 1010 Micro Case, consistently praising its exceptional durability and robust protective capabilities. The sentiment is largely positive, with users frequently highlighting its 'Pelican-tough' construction, which instills confidence in safeguarding valuable small items. Many reviews emphasize its reliable waterproof seal, often citing successful use in challenging environments like kayaking, hiking in the rain, or even accidental submersions, without any ingress of water. The compact size is a recurring positive, making it incredibly versatile for carrying essentials like car keys, USB drives, AirPods, or small medical supplies, fitting easily into pockets, backpacks, or attaching to gear. While its small dimensions are a strength for portability, a minor recurring theme is the occasional wish for slightly more internal space, though this is understood given its 'micro' designation. Some users initially find the latch a bit stiff, but this is quickly seen as a testament to its secure sealing mechanism rather than a flaw. The perceived value for money is generally high, as customers feel the peace of mind and longevity offered by the case far outweigh its cost. Overall, the Pelican 1010 is celebrated as a highly dependable, indispensable accessory for anyone needing to protect small, sensitive items from the elements and impacts, cementing its reputation as a top-tier micro protective case.
Know before you buy
Yes, it features an IP67 rating, meaning it is both dustproof and capable of being submerged in water for short periods without leaking.
The purge valve balances internal air pressure while keeping water and dust out. This is particularly useful if you are traveling by air or moving between different altitudes, as it prevents the case from becoming difficult to open due to pressure changes.
The internal dimensions are 4.37" x 2.87" x 1.68". Most modern smartphones are too large for this specific model, so it is better suited for smaller items like keys, credit cards, memory cards, or compact earbuds.
Yes, the case is constructed from durable polycarbonate and includes an impact-absorbing rubber liner. This combination provides a crushproof shell and a cushioned interior to protect sensitive gadgets from drops and bumps.
Absolutely. The case comes with a built-in attachment carabiner, allowing you to easily clip it to a belt loop, backpack strap, or gear bag for secure, hands-free transport.
