Pelican ships hard case for iMacs
Case manufacturer Pelican is now selling a model dedicated to Apple's most recent iMacs, the iMCruzer. The case fits 20- and 24-inch aluminum iMacs, as well as their matching mice and keyboards; inside is custom-tailored foam, meant to absorb impact shocks and prevent a computer from jostling. The outside is meanwhile made of "crush-proof" resin, claimed to be tough enough that an iMac can safely be shipped via airline without worrying about it being tossed by baggage handlers.
The case is further said to be airtight and watertight, and equipped with wheels and a retractable handle for easier transportation. Weight is 38 pounds before an iMac is packed in, while outside measurements are approximately 27 inches in length and width, with a depth of 16 inches. A single case is priced at $495.
