Peli cases, designed by Peli Products, was founded by Dave Parker in 1975 and has since expanded to a worldwide company employing over 600 people. The headquarters in Torrance are now a 100,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and administration complex. Peli cases seal with an airtight and watertight gasket and include a barometric relief valve made of Gore-Tex to prevent barotrauma to the case, during transportation, or when the air pressure in the environment may change. Most Peli cases comply with US Military, NATO, IEC, and ATA standards for waterproofing, stacking, impact, and durability. Standards that Peli cases comply with include MIL-STD C4150-J for waterproofing, IEC IP67 rating indicating complete sealing against dust and sealing against water immersion to 1 metre, as well as ATA 300 rating indicating compliance with Air Transport Association standards for durability in shipping. If your Peli case falls into water, generally (if it is not too full), there will be enough air in the case to keep it afloat. The barometric relief valve is made of Gore-Tex which permits air to pass through, but not water or other liquids. Peli cases feature a lifetime guarantee.
Peli case have launched a range of Micro-cases that includes the watertight Peli i-phone case and Peli i-pod case.
