Waterproof Micro Case Peli M40 Clear/Black

Small enough to disappear into a jacket pocket, tough enough to shrug off a tumble into a river — the Peli™ M40 Micro Case in Clear/Black pairs a see-through lid with a clean black body, so you can spot your gear at a glance while keeping full IP67 protection wrapped around it. It is the kind of small case you buy once and then quietly rely on for years, whether it lives in a glovebox, a tackle box, a camera bag or a bug-out kit.

See Your Gear at a Glance

The translucent lid lets you check what is inside without breaking the seal — a genuine time-saver when you run several identical cases in a kit bag, a drawer or the glovebox. Instead of popping open three cases to find the one with your spare batteries, you simply look. The black base keeps the whole thing looking sharp and professional on a desk, a workbench or a camera shelf, and hides the scuffs that a hard-working case inevitably collects.

IP67 — Sealed Against Water, Dust and Drops

Rated IP67, the M40 is fully waterproof, dustproof and crushproof, surviving submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes. A dedicated O-ring gasket runs the full perimeter of the lid to lock out moisture, sand and grit, while the automatic pressure-equalisation valve balances the air inside and out. That means the lid still opens easily after a flight, a climb to altitude or a sharp temperature swing — no fighting a vacuum-sealed lid on the trail.

For anything small that is valuable and allergic to water, that sealed envelope is the whole point: spray on a boat deck, rain on a motorcycle, dust on a building site or a splash at the lakeside simply never reaches your kit.

Locks Down, Stays Put

Two positive-action latches snap shut with a reassuring click, so you always know the case is properly closed before you toss it in a bag. A moulded padlock hole lets you secure the contents when it matters — handy for shared toolboxes, hire gear or anything you would rather keep out of curious hands. Inside, a removable no-slip liner cushions your kit and stops it sliding around, and it lifts out in seconds if you would rather drop in your own foam or a custom insert. Stainless-steel pins keep the hinge and latches working smoothly season after season, long after cheaper cases have seized or cracked.

What People Carry in It

The roughly one litre of usable space suits a surprising range of small, precious things. Photographers stash SD cards, spare batteries and filters; anglers keep flies, leaders and a phone dry in the bottom of the boat; divers protect a dive computer and log; medics and hikers build a compact, sealed mini first-aid kit. It is equally at home holding phones and action cameras, EDC knives and multitools, medication, cash and documents, or the small electronics that always seem to go missing at the bottom of a rucksack. If it is small, valuable and hates water, it earns a place inside.

Built for the Long Haul

Peli has built its reputation on cases that outlive the gear they protect, and the M40 carries that same Guarantee of Excellence — a lifetime guarantee against breakage or defects in workmanship. The polycarbonate shell resists impacts and crushing, the stainless-steel hardware shrugs off corrosion, and the whole design is engineered to keep sealing and latching reliably for the long term. Looking after it is easy: rinse off salt and grit under fresh water, let it dry fully before closing, and keep the O-ring clean so the seal stays true.
