B&W Cases Type 500 Hard case Black

B&W Cases Type 500 Hard case Black is a robust protective case designed for secure transport and storage of sensitive equipment. The case shell is made of polypropylene and the interior includes a removable pre-cut sponge (SI) insert that allows precision customization of compartments; the lid is fitted with egg crate foam for comprehensive shock-resistant protection. The product is black and features an automatic air pressure compensation valve, two latches and a transparent name plate. It is rated for use in temperatures from -40° to +80° C and is offered with a 30-year guarantee.

Advantages

The polypropylene shell delivers high impact resistance while keeping the case relatively lightweight and stackable for efficient storage. The removable pre-cut foam insert enables tailored internal layouts without cutting tools, and the egg crate foam in the lid improves cushioning against shocks and vibrations. The automatic air pressure compensation valve balances internal pressure changes, and the dustproof and watertight construction protects contents from environmental factors. Two reinforced latches and an optional carrying strap provide secure handling options.

Suitable for

• Transporting cameras, lenses and photographic accessories
• Safeguarding electronic devices and measuring instruments
• Storing sensitive components during travel or fieldwork
• Professional and hobby tools requiring shock and water protection

How to use

Open the two latches and lift the lid to access the removable pre-cut sponge insert. Configure the insert by removing only the necessary foam cubes to create compartments shaped to your equipment, then place items into the custom cavities and close the lid so the egg crate foam contacts the contents. Use the automatic valve to allow pressure equalization during altitude or temperature changes. For transport, use the carrying handle or attach the optional carrying strap. Clean the exterior shell with a damp cloth and mild detergent when required, and ensure latches are fully closed before exposure to water.

Usage recommendations

For best protection, secure loose accessories inside the custom foam compartments and avoid overfilling. When transporting fragile electronics, allow a small clearance around items for shock absorption and inspect the foam insert periodically for wear; replace the insert if compression reduces protective capability.
