Pelican 1060 Micro Case - Rugged Water Resistant Protection

In this review the Pelican 1060 Micro Case is evaluated for anyone who needs compact, dependable protection for small electronics. The bottom line: the case is built to keep an iPhone, GoPro, camera or extra batteries safe from water, dust and crush damage while remaining small enough for everyday carry. Its IP67 water resistance, rubber o-ring liner and automatic pressure equalization valve combine to offer trustworthy protection in situations from a beach day to a crowded pack, making it a practical choice for users prioritizing durability over flashy extras.

Key Features

• IP67 Water Resistance: Certified to stay water resistant for 30 minutes at about 3.3 ft, protecting gear from accidental submersion and splashes.
• Crushproof Construction: Rigid shell and stainless steel hinge and latch pins resist impact and compression to protect fragile electronics.
• O-ring Seal and Rubber Liner: The internal seal and rubber liner provide dustproof and watertight protection for cameras, phones, and accessories.
• Automatic Pressure Valve: The pressure equalization valve balances interior pressure after altitude or temperature changes to keep water out.
• Compact Interior Capacity: Interior space fits small devices and accessories such as phones, a GoPro or power packs while remaining pocketable.
• Lifetime Guarantee: Backed by the brand's lifetime guarantee, offering long-term confidence in the case's durability.

Who It's For

The 1060 Micro Case is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts, first responders, divers and anyone who carries a compact camera, phone or GoPro and needs reliable waterproof and crushproof protection. It is especially well suited to beach trips, boating, hiking and work environments where gear may get wet or knocked around.

Those who want soft padded organizers, a full-size camera bag, or lower cost disposable protection should look elsewhere; this is a rigid protective case prioritizing impact resistance and watertight sealing over internal organization or very low price.
