Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Orion Pluck-Foam Accessory Case, Black
Customer Review: Relatively lightweight case, a good deal for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
I started to give this product only four stars, because of a couple of issues...the strap that came with it isn't the most durable I've ever seen, and this case is not as well-constructed as some others. On the other hand, it only cost $50 and I think it's going to serve its purpose well enough, so five stars it is.
I bought this case to house a Canon i90v portable printer, which is about 12" x 8" or so. It's also got a few accessories, like a cord and a removable battery, all of which fit into this case quite nicely. I had no problem at all removing the pluck foam and the camera fit right inside, which gives the overall effect of having had a custom case made for my printer.
Here's another real plus for this product: especially for its size, which is ample, the weight of this case is not overwhelming at all. This can be a real problem concerning "portable" gear containers. I teach scuba diving on weekends, so I'm always looking for something in which to stash various pieces of camera paraphernalia. A company called Pelican makes great waterproof cases, but ye cats, are they heavy - a dive camera plus case can easily top 15 pounds. This Orion case with my printer inside probably weighs only about five or six pounds, which is going to be terrific should I need to stash this case inside a larger suitcase for a business trip or similar.
I'd say that, even though there are better cases on the market, this one is going to perform plenty well for the job I've selected for it, and you certainly can't beat it for the price. I may well buy another one for some camera equipment.
Description of Orion Pluck-Foam Accessory Case, Black
Made from super-tough ABS-clad wood, this case resists dings, dents, and other blemishes better than aluminum-clad cases. This accessory case features cubed foam, so you can customize the interior to fit your specific accessories -- different sizes of eyepieces, camera body, adapters, barlow lenses, whatever you have. You'll appreciate the strong dual hinges in back and the sturdy spring latches in front. The hinged carrying handle provides a sure grip. A removable, adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to carry, even when fully loaded. The latches can be locked; keys are provided. Internal dimensions: 17.2" x 12.2" x 5.5".Cases & Bags
