Waterproof Camera Case

When you spend as much time out in the elements filming as I do, gear protection isn't just an afterthought—it is the whole ballgame. I recently picked up the Jack Boss 16x 12.8x 6.8 Inch Hard Case in a highly tactical, rugged green finish, and it has completely transformed how I transport my equipment. Right out of the gate, the sheer build quality is undeniable. The high-impact exterior shell feels practically indestructible, absorbing bumps, drops, and the general chaos of travel without breaking a sweat. It has a fantastic, utilitarian aesthetic, but more importantly, it delivers serious peace of mind when I am hauling my expensive action cameras through less-than-ideal environments. ​What truly sets this case apart is the heavy-duty sealing and locking mechanism. Jack Boss incorporated a superior Powerclaw latching system, and let me tell you, these latches clamp down with an incredibly satisfying, authoritative snap. Once locked in place, the case boasts a legitimate IP67 waterproof rating, completely sealing out moisture, dust, and debris. I also greatly appreciate the integrated pressure release valve positioned right on the front. If you are frequently changing altitudes or taking your gear on flights, this valve equalizes the interior pressure automatically, ensuring you never have to wrestle a vacuum-sealed lid open upon arrival. ​The interior is where the magic really happens for my specific setup. The case comes loaded with thick, cubed pre-cut foam that makes customization an absolute breeze. I was able to meticulously pluck out the exact dimensions needed to cradle my entire fleet of action cameras, spare batteries, charging hubs, and specialized mounts. The fit is exceptionally snug, meaning absolutely nothing shifts or rattles around during transit. To top it off, the convoluted, egg-crate style foam in the lid presses down gently but firmly on the gear when closed, locking every single piece of equipment securely in its designated pocket. ​Portability and security were clearly top of mind during the design process of this hard case. Despite its robust footprint and spacious interior, it remains incredibly easy to haul around thanks to the generously sized soft-grip handle. The handle distributes the weight perfectly, preventing hand fatigue even when the case is fully loaded with dense electronics and heavy accessories. Additionally, the stainless steel hardware and reinforced padlock holes on the front corners provide an extra layer of security. I can easily slip in two heavy-duty locks when leaving my gear in a hotel room or the back of a truck, knowing my cameras are locked down tight. ​Ultimately, finding a protective case that balances rugged durability, precise internal customization, and comfortable portability is a tall order, but this piece of kit delivers on all fronts. It serves as a dedicated, weatherproof vault that keeps my workflow organized and my delicate camera lenses completely out of harm's way. If you need a serious transportation solution that treats your high-end equipment like the vital investment it is, this Jack Boss hard case absolutely knocks it out of the park.

Solid waterproof case with great build quality. The pre‑cut foam is easy to pluck and shape, and it made fitting my gear simple. Exactly what I needed — sturdy, reliable, and feels premium.

Built good and I really like it. I'm not the biggest fan of the latches though. Every case I have gets a good snap when the latest close this one feels like it barely grab. However I have not had a single issues with it opening on me or having to use a locking device. So far so good and keeps my old DSLR I use safe out on the trails riding in the RZR. It holds more than enough for me and could hold more. Stays dust proof as well. Don't mind any dirt you may see inside I usually have dirty hands while riding. Haha

This case is an excellent value and I'd take it over higher priced cases like Condition 1. The design is just what i needed. It is very well built and feels extremely rigid and sturdy. The foam, while not polyethylene, is very high quality polyurethane. I bought some polyethylene to replace it with, but now i don't know if i will - perhaps just the top layer for clean cuts... It is just a great case for protecting your valuables - in my case guns. The locks are re-enforced with metal. The handles are a bit tough to clasp and unclasp, but in a good way - not because they aren't lined up or anything like that. It is heavy, but not too heavy and will fit multiple pistols aimed downwards, leaving room for magazines and other accessories. I can't wait to bring it to the range. I could be plucking the foam and organizing my stuff right now, but i felt compelled to review this as soon as i opened the box.

Overall, not a bad case but not waterproof as advertised for this purpose I'd probably buy another due to price alone. PRO: Decently durable, should survive an airline's worst even if packed in a duffel with more cases like it. Cheaper than Pelican, has reinforced metal at the lock point to deter lazy thieves. Con: NOT WATERPROOF - they advertised it, didn't see a certification so I was doubtful, failed testing of 4 minutes in water. Not as sturdy as Pelican - noticeably thinner but thick enough. If you need something that is as good/durable/dependable as a Pelican say for a $1,500.00 DSLR body - this isn't it. If you have less expensive gear to replace, aren't taking it on a lake or ocean in a Kayak or small boat where it's more likely to fall in the water, or would get it out fast... probably fine and $100 less than the Pelican equivalent case. THE TEST: The case ring gasket allowed water to enter and dampen the toilet paper I put in to find water on the back left side near the hinge. In the roughly 4 minutes it was in the water barely enough leaked in to dampen the paper but I'd not call this "Waterproof", I'd go with water resistant. I'd be a bit nervous to put it in a truck bed in WA State and drive into the mountains without tarping it, then again I'd never drive a load of electronics in the truck bed into the mountains without a tarp even if my truck was full of Pelican cases. In Arizona, it would be just fine unless it was one of the four days a year around here it rains. Even then, I'm guessing if it was rain, it would do okay. For the gear I bought this case for (Lav Mic, monitor transmitter + remote, cables, batteries) the overall cost isn't high, I'm not putting this on a boat or worse a kayak, the case is suitable - just not "Waterproof" as advertised. )

This is a surprisingly nice case. I just wanted a cheap case for my A/C gauges, but this thing is nicer than whats going inside it. The plastic is thick. It closes and locks nice. The way it locks, it feels like it will last awhile. I hate cheap tabs that keep cases closed, but break off a month into it.

Perfect for what I need it for. Use it for travel. Throw inside the luggage and holds item in place and protected. Been on 5 flights already

This is a very sturdy case,use it to transport a pqp rear adjustable rest and bipod back and forth to the range, it's full of padding and everything stays secure, highly recommend.
