Pelican 1490 Deluxe Waterproof Notebook Case and Organizer Review

During the first night of testing this case, we had a decent snowfall here in southern Wisconsin. What might a college student do with a new rugged case and 3-4" of snow on the ground? Go sledding of course! I decided to load my laptop inside the new case, stand on the top to make sure it was going to support me (~215lbs), tied off a rope to the front handle, and sat on the top while I had a friend pull me down the driveway. The results probably weren't as successful as round saucer slicked with cooking oil, but it worked. Since that didn't seem to phase it, I switched to slightly more aggressive testing. I threw it over my garage onto my back patio, played a little soccer with it, and then retreated to my warm home after I knocked most of the snow off the outside of the case. The laptop and accessories were a bit cold, but everything was just as it was when I loaded it in. Everything stayed in its proper spots and even the fragile LCD screen was still intact (please don't go too wild with these cases, even if the laptop survives a big impact, the glass display might not enjoy the high G's and crack).
