i went out and got my mittens on a pelican 1400 and i have to say that i was turned off a little by its size but it is one DURABLE case. it is very well made and i also bought a pelican combination lock to go with it. there is lots of room in there for goodies and such so i'd have to reccomend it to everyone that has an empeg. now i can carry my alpine detachable face, usb cable, ac adaptor, rio remote, and of course the empeg - all in one package! tré cool if you ask me. thanks to eveyone who reccomended it...i never would have even thought of looking for this type of case. in the end, it really isn't that big at all.
