They are so widely used due to their durability and ability to protect fragile or sensitive equipment in essentially any conditions. During transportation or when not in use, sensitive equipment can be easily stowed in a storm case to keep off contaminants and harmful materials as well as to protect the item from scratches and large impacts.
In order to offer superior protection, the exterior of the storm case is manufactured from a hard plastic which gives it a tough and rigid shell. Typically, this process is accomplished using the plastic injection molding process. Storm cases come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from long shallow cases for carrying rifles to deep cases for carrying bulky camera equipment.
