Technical Specifications
The Peli 1490 Protector Laptop Case is a rugged, waterproof attache case built to keep a laptop genuinely protected, not just padded. It’s IP57 rated, meaning it has been tested in one metre of water for 30 minutes and remained fully watertight.
- Internal dimensions: 462 x 298 x 110 mm
- External dimensions: 504 x 354 x 119 mm
- Empty weight: 2.48 kg
- Weight with foam: 2.95 kg
- Packaging dimensions: 500 x 366 x 128 mm
Available empty or fitted with Pick ‘n’ Pluck foam — base foam plus one pluck layer and convoluted lid foam — the case suits laptops up to 443mm x 280mm when empty, or up to 435mm x 270mm with foam fitted. Double safety locking latches come complete with a pair of keys, and an automatic pressure equalisation valve keeps the case easy to open even after a flight.
Perfect for:
- Business travellers who need a genuinely waterproof laptop case
- Field staff working in wet or dusty environments
- Anyone replacing a soft laptop bag with real protection
- Consultants and engineers carrying a laptop between sites
- Frequent flyers wanting a strong, lightweight case
We strongly recommend measuring your laptop before buying, as while this case fits almost any laptop, exact dimensions vary by manufacturer. Two double-safety locking latches keep the case secure without slowing down access, and the lightweight shell makes the 1490 noticeably easier to carry day to day than a full-size Protector case.
Condition: Brand New. This is unused stock sourced directly from Peli’s own catalogue. Browse the full Peli Protector case range, or read our guide to buying new versus used Peli cases before you order.
