What S3 case size should I purchase?

What are S3 cases made of?

Alfred Manufacturing developed the S433 resin specifically for S3 Cases. The resin is a polypropylene based material that has been specifically enhanced with performance additives to increase impact resistance, toughness and dust resistance. The S433 resin has been engineered to perform in the harshest of environments, making these great industrial, medical and military grade cases.

How does the purge knob work?

Changes in altitude pressure and geographic location can create a vacuum that effectively seals watertight cases shut. S3’s purge knob valve equalizes the pressure within the case to make it easier to open. Once the air is equalized by twisting the knob to the left, make sure you screw it tight to the right so it’s sealed shut.

What standard foam comes with a case?

S3 Cases can be purchased with foam or without foam. Our T1000-T4500 cases have an optional form fitted liner, and our T5000-T6500 have polyurethane block foam that is 100% customizable/pre-scored.
