Some Plelican boxes are more Pelican than others? "slashes"...? I guess the 1050 is the most commonly seen. sold with the Analox O2 analyzer, and my 1050 & 1060 boxes have passed 4" immersion tests. I loaned this one to my soninlaw in part to carry the pickup key on a float trip not much wetter than many Cozumel panga trips, fortunately suggesting he leave the electronic clicker in the truck.The case under discussion isn't the typical Pelican case we all love and rely upon. It's a very small case designed for light duty use to protect against slashes and is not intended for swimming or immersion.
Pelican boxes are often suggested to keep non-diving cameras dry on boats and the 1015 is sold for smart phones. I'm glad his droid wouldn't fit, but he didn't like his snuff wet. Yeah, I see that the micro boxes are advertised as "water resistant" but "not for swimming or immersion," but I see a 4" test failure as a fail.
I think I'd rather try a plastic peanut butter jar than risk getting grease on a land camera.The o-ring is essentially the yellow rubbery liner. Run some o-ring grease on it.
I have seen immersions of 5+ feet. Maybe it's just dumb luck.
