Any owner of a laptop, or in my case a Mac Book
Pro, leading a busy life needs to look at how
their machine will be safety transported from one
location to another.
Working from multiple locations, attending events and client
sites all mean that machines have a tough life and although
files are more often than not backed up on a cloud
somewhere, the inconvenience of damaged kit is huge.
Having used Peli cases on numerous occasions and
needing a solution for a forthcoming NAB trip I got hold
of the Peli 1095 Hardback case designed for most laptop
sized machines and part of their Hardback range.
Once the pick and pluck foam provided was shaped the
internal dimensions gave a good fit for the Mac, not too
tight to be a hassle to get it out but tight enough to not
bump around. There isn't room for many accessories so
power units need to be carried separately although small
items such as memory cards and USB drives do fit in as
well. |

The overall size fits very well inside a small hand luggage
size suitcase and so ideal for air travel especially now as
some airlines allow a "hand bag" extra bag as carry on
luggage.
The case is fastened by a single polymer latch which seems
secure enough, it does require a positive click shut which
on one occasion I didn't do, picked up the case and guess
what! Operator error though and although a secondary
catch (I'm thinking GoPro casing) might be a good idea
I think it would be more of a nuisance so just a case of
ensuring it is correctly closed and you hear the reassuring
click.
The only means of carrying the case is by the attachable
should strap. Secure enough and comfortable, I do still
find myself wanting to look for a carry handle on occasions
which would be nice to have.
So after 3 months of use, travelling from Vegas to Cannes
and daily commutes the Mac is still in good working order,
dust free and dry (even with our somewhat excessive
pressure hosing!) so it's business as usual. |

Expect to pay around £100 for the case and you can select
either foam (pick and pluck as tested) or the CC version
where the case is fitted with a molded shock absorbing
liner.
