The Storm 2950 and the Air 1615 are my go-to check-in Pelicans with wheels. You can't hurt them, but you have to watch the weight; it’s easy to over-pack them.

I see a lot of people on our film teams using the Pelican 1535 as a carry-on suitcase. I can't imagine using it for more than a night or two; it's really small inside. I also find the handle too short; I can't pull it behind me without constantly kicking it with my heels.
Thank you for this explanation to add to Post # 40 above.
