No matter what audio or video equipment you lug from gig to gig, you’re likely to find an SKB iSeries hard shell case that’s perfect for your particular needs. With over 60 sizes and numerous interior options available, the iSeries line covers all sorts of storage needs, from memory cards and small personal items to decked-out cameras, expensive sound recorders, and heavy-duty stands. Plus, all iSeries cases are made in the USA to a high standard of quality and MIL-STD ratings, so you can confidently rely on them to hold up over time.
Pro-Level Protection
Robust and thoughtful case construction is a common thread running through the iSeries. It starts with ultrahigh-strength polypropylene copolymer resin, which makes these injection-molded cases both lighter and stronger than what’s typical of the competition. Not only are they resistant to corrosion, UV, solvents, fungus, and impact damage, but they’re also gasket-sealed to keep out water and dust.
Ready for Travel
Knowing that your work takes you places, SKB chose to make the iSeries a great travel companion. Their patented trigger latches are easy to open without fear of accidental release, and they support TSA lock options for worry-free security during rough journeys in baggage handling and on flights. Speaking of flights, the automatic ambient pressure equalization valve eliminates the risk of case damage due to changes in atmospheric pressure at different altitudes. All iSeries cases have a molded-in hinge and an over-molded cushion grip handle that snaps down, and some models come with built-in wheels for smooth transport of large, heavy items. The fact that iSeries wheels, handles, hinges, and latches are officially field-replaceable hardware makes the cases even more advantageous.
Interior Design
When it comes to the inside of the iSeries, there are many possible configurations. Some cases are empty like a blank canvas, while others are preloaded with padded dividers and organizers. Some models have cubed, layered, and custom-cut foam to snugly fit specific gear, whereas other variants are available with backpacks that fit neatly in the case. In addition to accommodating main items such as your camera or wireless mic system, iSeries cases are also equipped to hold common accessories like cables, adapters, and power supplies.
