My recommendation would be a "Pelican Case". They're available in many
diver and such stores and comes in a variety of sizes. I myself use a
"King Pelican Case" - It excellent!!!
It's:
Waterproof, sealed with an o-ring.
Airtight [it's even got a depressuriser valve if You have travelled to a
different altitude!], thank's to the o-ring.
Lockable with any padlock, _and_ with latches.
Guarranteed against anything ["except sharkbite, bear attack and children
under five"] for life if I remember it right.
_Really sturdy_.
And comes in a variety of colours [as long as You choose black I guess
;-)].
- and on top it looks as if it would survive the upcoming crash better
than You...
I bought mine mail order from Chicago [they weren't available in Sweden
at the time] ten years ago and it's still as new.
