I need to travel light and often thru harsh weather so I won't use anything that can't get the job done. This case keeps its contents dry and safe. It will survive a two story drop. It will survive falling off the back of a motorcycle on a highway (without other vehicles running over it). It can be submerged underwater. The carabiner is a little awkward to use (it is a tight fit thru the case's loop) but will allow you to safely attach it to your gear (unless you are carrying pure lead or gold. the carabiner is weak but a case this size won't carry much anyway).
The clear see thru case is great because you can see the contents but this is not something you want for the airport. The case will become pressurized from the flight and you will have a tough time opening the case once you land. Leave the case open and unsealed so you can use it after the flight.
The interior of the case has a rubber like polymer which creates the water/smell proof seal. This material doubles as a shock absorber. My case never cracked but if it did, I think this material could sponge up a little bit of liquid before the contents of your case get wet. The sticker (Pelican 1010) can easily be removed. A smartphone or camera will probably not fit in this case. This case has stood up to daily use for over a year. I highly recommend this case for instances when a waterproof plastic bag (like ALOKSAK) cannot get the job done. It will allow you to pack heavily and densely without worrying about the contents getting crushed.
You should always test your gear before using them in the field! Place a tissue or anything that will easily indicate the presence of water inside the case before submerging it in a bucket of water. Don't just run water from the faucet. I have personally "tested" this case ten feet under river water without any issues.
