Suggestion for Perdix Replacement Case

[MrBlenny]

Hi all, both of my Perdix cases have lost the zipper pulls (corroded off...) and the official case from Shearwater feels overpriced at $20+ USD. I'm inclined to get a cheap multimeter case off Amazon and stick both inside, but am curious if any of you have found a more compact and durable solution. I expect the zipper will corrode off the Amazon case rather quickly.

Thanks!

I don't use the boxes they come in for actually transporting the computers for diving. I find them far too bulky. I keep my Perdix 2s in these cheap padded bags in my boat backpack. One computer per bag.

DGX Triple Layer Mesh Bag - Small

The DGX triple layer mesh bag is an excellent storage pouch for a variety of items. Often used as a MASK bag as it provides both adequate padding and easy drainage.

I use a small Pelican case with foam that holds both computers, AI Pods, spare batteries, and tools. It takes a beating better than the SW cases, and no zippers, better protection.

DGX Gears Padded Storage Bag

This DGX bag is well padded and big enough for the Shearwater Peregrine, Teric or Perdix (the Petrel and NERD2 fit too!), Garmin Descent and many other popular computers. Also ideal for the Analytic Instruments Palm O2 and Palm CO handheld gas analyzers.

I have at least 3 or 4 excess Shearwater cases. I'll be more than happy to send you a pair. (for the cost of shipping)

I'm in Seattle, so it won't be much. Send me a DM and I can price you a shipping label to your zip.

My computers get transported in hard plastic food storage containers. If you're OCD like me, you can spend your free time searching the internet and the real world for the container with the perfect dimensions for your computer.

The pulls or sliders? I ask because the pulls can easily be replaced with cord. If the sliders well then that is more problematic.

In the past I have used smaller Pelican cases for my mine but now with transmitters we use the case (for now). I need to find a better solution as we have two and want to consolidate the bulk.
