Know before you buy
An IP67 rating means the M40 is completely dustproof and can be submerged in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes without leaking. It is designed to keep your gear dry and protected in harsh outdoor environments.
The interior dimensions are 152.4 x 96.5 x 53.3 mm. We recommend measuring your specific phone model, including any protective case you use, to ensure it fits within these dimensions.
The valve prevents the case from becoming vacuum-sealed due to changes in atmospheric pressure or temperature. This ensures the case remains easy to open even after air travel or significant altitude changes.
Yes, the case features a dedicated padlock hole that allows you to secure the lid with a small padlock. This is ideal for keeping your gear safe while traveling or in shared spaces.
The no-slip liner provides a cushioned surface that prevents your gear from sliding around inside the case. It also adds a layer of impact protection for delicate items like electronics.
While the polycarbonate body is crushproof and highly impact-resistant, no case is completely indestructible. However, it is built to withstand extreme conditions and is backed by Pelican’s Lifetime Guarantee if you encounter any manufacturing defects.
