My new case

And so, after 30 days of waiting, my new toolbag replacement is here! I wanted a new toolbag for some of my tools and also for my Notebook. My first one was an actual Toshiba Notebook bag which lasted me a few years. Then, it was replaced by an aluminum bag which promised to break down after three weeks. Right now, the only thing holding it together is just the two locking clasps and a lot of luck. And so, I needed to look for another case which is tough, splashproof and also, looks the business.

After much searching on the Internet, the obvious choice was those expensive Pelican cases. But these horrible animals costs close to RM800, plus postage, of course. After searching more information about these cases, esp via Wikipedia, I found another option, which is the Hardigg Storm cases. And they costs much less too. The main problem with these items are that they are very large and hence, the exhobitant postage fees. Then, one day, I got lucky and managed to snag a Hardigg Storm for USD120 (USD90 for the case and USD30 for the postage).

Yeah, they seller made a mistake on the postage. I was first quoted USD25 for the postage but I told them, I decided to make it USD30 for them. After the deal is done, they checked the actual postage which turned out to be USD51 but since its already closed, they had to "swallow" the USD20. I felt bad but there is nothing I could do.

I have shown it to my friend today and he commented that just a week ago, Hardigg was bought over by Pelican, its long term rival. So, from RIVALRY to SYNERGY. Oh well. There might be price adjustments and new model as well.

This was what I found this morning, behind my desk. Seems like most
of the items I ordered from the Internet always come delivered in the
evenings. And my clerk either got fed-up or they delivered it after she
has left because no one calls me anymore about my "presents"

And when its opened up, the Storm case is huge! Maybe
its the black colour or just the design but its intimidating

Still, for my Notebook, its the right size. There were other colours
such as olive green, tan yellow and light grey. But I prefer black

And compare it to my current toolbag, its bigger and much sturdier
Unlike the current plastic handle, the Storm's fits comfortably in the
hand and has those rubber non-slip coating just like my actual tool
box. Its a matter of time before it goes away. Then I can go out and
get a can of plasti-dip. Heh heh heh

The clasps are very simple; just push the button and lift the whole tab.
Oh, see the hole, you can padlock it if you want to

Jealous or not? No? Ok, I give you the "Wait a minute..." moment
The sponge or foam as you call it, was "fixed" and not the ones
which you can arrange to suit your needs. So, I have to either
cut the foam into shape or search for alternative foams.
