Hard Case B&W Cases Type 6700 by b&w cases — Black, model 6700/B/RPD

The B&W Cases Type 6700 (model 6700/B/RPD) is a hard protective case in black designed to secure and transport sensitive equipment. It features a rigid polypropylene shell, automatic air pressure compensation valve, and a removable RPD (reconfigurable padded divider) insert made from washable heavy-duty nylon with velcro attachments and egg crate foam in the lid for impact protection. The case is dustproof, watertight, stackable and rated for a wide temperature range, making it suitable for demanding travel and storage conditions.

Advantages

This hard case combines a durable polypropylene exterior with a configurable padded interior to provide shock-resistant protection. Built-in features such as an automatic pressure compensation valve, multiple handles including a telescopic handle, two wheels for transport, and secure latches improve handling and user convenience. The case is designed for long-term use and comes with a 30-year guarantee.

Suitable for

• Photography gear and camera bodies with lenses
• Electronic equipment and accessories
• Delicate instruments and tools
• Transport and storage in professional fieldwork

When it may not be suitable

The case may be oversized for compact personal items or single small accessories where a lighter bag would be more convenient. It is also heavier than soft cases, so if minimal weight is the primary concern for carry-only use, a lighter option may be preferable.

How to use

Place equipment inside the RPD insert and adjust the padded dividers with the velcro attachments to create custom compartments. Close the lid and secure all four latches. Use the telescopic handle and wheels to roll the case when transporting; use the fixed handles for lifting. If traveling by air, allow the pressure compensation valve to equalize pressure automatically. Clean the nylon insert according to the manufacturer’s washing recommendations and wipe the exterior shell with a damp cloth.

What to consider before purchase

• Check internal dimensions and divider layout to ensure equipment fits securely
• Consider total weight when loaded versus portability needs
• Confirm required options (removable lid, black name plate) if needed
• Assess whether the temperature rating and waterproofing meet your environmental conditions

Usage recommendations

For best protection, use the RPD dividers to separate fragile items, secure loose cables in small compartments, and avoid overpacking to maintain shock absorption. Regularly inspect latches and seals for wear and clean the case after exposure to saltwater or heavy dirt.
