I find that kanuk Brand cases are the sweet spot. They're nicer than harbor freight, but slightly less robust than pelican. in my opinion, they have the best latches of all three and tend to sell at a price point between the two. That being said, pelican is still the gold standard for protecting high-end gear and for those who might have their luggage bashed around in travel
The Pelican 1170 is a compact hard case best known for sturdy protection and dependable build quality, especially for cameras, drones, and other high end gear. It is described as the gold standard compared with cheaper Harbor Freight Apache cases, with better robustness, pressure relief, and cleaner foam fit around the valve hardware. The main tradeoff is price, since similar cases can cost much less, and security is not the point because hinge pins can be removed and padlock alignment may be imperfect. A solid small case if protection matters more than bargain pricing.
Photographers packing compact cameras and accessories, because the foam inserts and rigid shell keep gear protected during travel and storage.
Apache 2800 lock hole alignment can fail to line up well enough for padlocks, which can indicate fit or manufacturing quality issues on that alternative.
The Apache 2800 has much larger interior dimensions than the Pelican 1170, with roughly 2.5x more interior space. The Apache is cheaper and less robust, while the Pelican is the sturdier choice for higher-value gear and travel abuse.
The hinge pins can reportedly be pulled out, even non-destructively, and the case can be opened again afterward. That makes it a poor choice if you need strong security for valuables, since padlocks alone may not stop access.
Pelican cases are preferred when automatic pressure relief matters; Harbor Freight cases are specifically called out as not suitable for that need. If pressure equalization is important for your use, the Pelican is the safer pick.
Horror Fright Ghouls makes a case similar to this -- the "APACHE 2800" which goes on sale frequently for $20.
"PELICAN 1170": Interior 10.5 x 6 x 3.2"
"APACHE 2800": Interior 11-7/8 in. x 9 in. x 5-5/16 in.
Now, HF's offering isn't as robust as the bird's case, but at half the price.....how much of a case do you really need?
It's strudy but the holes in my Apache 2800 didn't line up well enough to use a padlock. Not a deal breaker, but perhaps indicative of the manufacturing quality.
I hear ya, it's like people forgot where their socks, underwear, shirt, jacket, silverware, dish drainer, washing machine, mobile phone, laptop, TV, etc came from. OOPS MEESA FORGOT.
