Peli 1200 Protector Case

The Peli 1200 Protector Case is a compact, hard-shell case that delivers professional-grade protection in a format small enough to slip into a backpack, briefcase, or cabin bag. Built to Peli's uncompromising standard, it is used by photographers, first responders, scientists, military personnel and everyday travellers who simply cannot afford to lose what's inside.

Tough enough for anywhere you take it

Rain, sand, sea spray, dust storms — the 1200 handles all of it. Its neoprene O-ring seal creates a watertight barrier around the entire lid, while the Automatic Pressure Equalisation Valve balances air pressure as you change altitude, preventing vacuum lock without ever letting water in. Fly it as hold luggage, carry it on a boat, leave it on the back seat of a dusty off-road vehicle: the contents arrive exactly as you packed them. The open cell core, solid wall construction absorbs impacts that would crack an ordinary plastic box, and the easy-open double-throw latches click shut with one hand and stay locked until you choose to open them.

A case that fits your gear — not the other way around

The foam-equipped version ships with Peli's signature Pick N Pluck™ foam in the base and a convoluted (egg-crate) foam pad in the lid. Pre-scored into a grid, the foam lets you remove individual cubes without cutting tools until the cavity matches your equipment exactly. The result: your gear stays still during transport and is cushioned against drops and vibration. If your kit changes, pick out more cubes and reshape. No glue, no mess, no tools needed.

What goes inside?

The compact interior accommodates an impressive range of gear. Common uses include:

• Action cameras (GoPro and similar) with batteries, mounts, and accessories
• Compact cameras, lenses, or flash units
• Pistols and compact handguns — the 1200 is a popular TSA-compliant case for air travel
• Medical instruments, sample vials, or field test kits
• Precision measurement tools, multimeters, and calibration instruments
• Ammunition storage in the foam-lined version
• Jewellery, watches, and valuables on the road
• Small drone batteries and chargers

The No Foam version gives you the full interior volume for bulkier or oddly-shaped items, or to add your own custom foam or padding.

Five colours, two configurations

The Peli 1200 is available in five case colours — Black, Yellow, Orange, Blue and Silver — each in a No Foam and a With Foam version, giving ten variants in total. The bright colours (Yellow, Orange) are popular in field and emergency environments where losing the case is not an option. Black suits professional and discreet use; Silver and Blue suit laboratory and personal applications.

Backed for life

Every Peli 1200 carries Peli's Legendary Lifetime Guarantee. If the case ever fails under normal use, Peli will repair or replace it — for as long as you own it, no receipt required. It is a guarantee that reflects a simple truth: a case built this well should last a lifetime.
