The toughest hard laptop cases available
Official UK business supplier of Peli laptop cases
If you are a frequent business traveller, you’ll know how important protecting your laptop or device is – which is where Peli Hardback cases come in.
Peli Hardback is a range of ultra-tough laptop and tablet cases. Peli Hardback cases use high-impact ABS plastic in their manufacture, making them watertight and crushproof. Peli laptop cases are available in five sizes to accommodate most standard laptop, tablet, and equipment sizes.
In simple terms, Peli Hardback laptop cases provide the highest levels of protection for your electronic equipment and are suitable for tools and any expensive, fragile or sensitive items. Your hard laptop cases can also be customised using bespoke foam inserts, external printing or a range of standard accessories.
Why use Peli Hardback cases?
Peli protection for your electronic devices
Peli Hardback cases protect laptops, tablets and specialist electronics devices.
Manufactured using an incredibly tough, high-impact ABS plastic, Peli Hardback cases are crushproof, dustproof, watertight and resistant to most chemicals.
The waterproof gasket creates a tight seal when the case is shut, preventing water damage to your kit. An integrated pressure relief valve also ensures that the case remains easy to open even if changing altitude (i.e. it prevents vacuum lock).
Several features are included on the Peli Hardback laptop cases to aid usability too.These features include optional shoulder straps, lid organisers, accessory compartments, integrated “easels” to allow for hands-free viewing of your device, and the option for foam inserts. Insert options include the Peli standard pick and pluck foam which you can tailor to your equipment.
However, you can specify custom foam inserts for the highest levels of protection (and considerable time savings for business users needing multiple cases). These can also include laser-etched branding and various colours.
All of this ensures that your equipment and electronic devices (and critical files and info they contain) remain safe and dry no matter the environment you or your employees work in.
Peli Hardback case features
A range of features to add usability and convenience

Easy open latch
The full-length latch is easy to open but creates an incredibly strong lock that remains fastened during mishandling (such as dropping the case).

Removable shoulder strap
The shoulder strap allows for easy carrying of the case but is also removable to make storage easier (if required).

Gasket seal
The gasket seal inside the cases creates a watertight lock when closed, protecting your laptop or other equipment from water damage.

Purge valve
The automatic pressure purge valve equalises pressure between the inside and outside of the case, preventing vacuum lock (which makes the cases difficult to open after changes in pressure).
Custom Peli laptop cases
A range of both standard and bespoke options (including custom foam)
Whilst the dimensions of the Peli hardback case limit the types of equipment suitable for storing within them, the cases can still benefit from custom foam inserts. Bespoke foam saves time versus pick n pluck foam if more significant numbers of cases are required).

"Pick N Pluck" foam
Pick n pluck foam can be included in Peli Hardback cases, allowing you to create a semi-bespoke insert for your equipment. Cubed foam of this type is a good, low-cost option for one-off cases or lower volume requirements.

Lid organiser
The Peli laptop case’s smooth surfaces allow the addition of printed branding through either screen or digital printing methods. Printing allows you to add logos, branding, identification or other helpful information to your cases’ exterior.

Trade supplier of Peli Hardback and other waterproof cases
GWP’s usual customers are those from an industrial or business background, looking for several cases to protect specialist tools, products or equipment.
One of the best ways to do this is with a Peli case and custom foam inserts. The result is that GWP is an official seller of the full range of Peli cases within the UK market – including Peli Hardback.
However, whilst GWP can supply a one-off case, it may not always be the most cost-effective option for you. GWP Protective does not hold stock of the Peli Hardback cases either, meaning an online seller with a stock holding of standard cases is likely to be a more appropriate solution.
