XP Metal Detector Professional Case - Pelicase 1700 Model for Deus, Deus II & ORX

The Pelicase 1700 is a hard-shell transport case built for XP detectors with S-telescopic stems, including the Deus, Deus II, and ORX. XP Deus owners traveling to competition hunts or flying to remote sites need a case that protects against baggage-handler abuse and pressure changes, and the 1700's pre-cut foam interior, pressure-balancing valve, and polyurethane casters deliver that protection. The case's spacious internal cavity fits a broken-down S-stem detector plus coils, remotes, and accessories in dedicated foam cutouts, eliminating the shift and rattle that damages electronics in soft bags.

What's Included with the Pelicase 1700

• Pelicase 1700 hard case with pre-cut foam bottom block and convoluted foam lid insert
• Polyurethane casters with stainless steel ball bearings
• Folding side handle
• Pressure-balancing valve
• O-ring seal

Why XP Deus, Deus II, and ORX Owners Reach for the Pelicase 1700

• Pre-cut foam compartments hold the detector body, coils, and accessories in fixed positions, preventing the internal collisions that crack circuit boards or bend coil ears during baggage handling or vehicle transport.
• Pressure-balancing valve equalizes internal and external air pressure during flights, eliminating the vacuum seal that makes many hard cases impossible to open at altitude or after landing.
• O-ring seal and shock-resistant shell protect against water intrusion and impact damage when the case is stacked under gear in a truck bed or checked as airline baggage.
• Polyurethane casters with stainless steel ball bearings roll smoothly across airport terminals and gravel parking lots, reducing the strain of carrying a heavy loaded case by hand.
• Padlockable dual latches secure the case when traveling through airports or leaving it in a vehicle overnight, meeting TSA guidelines for checked baggage with removable locks.

Airline Travel and Vehicle Transport Protection

Checked Baggage Durability for Competition Hunts

The Pelicase 1700's shock-resistant shell and foam-lined interior absorb the drops and compressions that occur when airlines stack checked bags in cargo holds. We've flown with this case to multi-day competitions where a cracked control box or bent coil connector would end the hunt, and the 1700's construction has consistently delivered intact gear at the destination. The foam cutouts hold the Deus remote, coil, and stem sections in separate compartments, preventing the metal-on-metal contact that scratches housings or damages solder joints when bags shift during turbulence. The case's heavy buoyancy rating means it floats if dropped in water during a river crossing or boat transfer, a secondary benefit for detectorists hunting tidal beaches or working from watercraft.

Vehicle Storage for Multi-Site Hunts

Detectorists running permission-based farm hunts or covering multiple parks in a weekend benefit from the 1700's stackable design and padlockable latches. The case fits in truck beds under camping gear or in SUV cargo areas alongside shovels and finds bags, and the hard shell protects the detector when other equipment shifts during off-road driving. The folding side handle makes it easy to pull the case from a vehicle without requiring a two-handed lift, and the polyurethane casters roll over gravel or grass when moving from the parking area to the hunt site. The extensive temperature tolerance range covers winter detecting in northern states and summer vehicle storage in desert climates, environments where soft cases degrade or fail. For detectorists exploring the technologies behind modern detectors, the 1700 provides a transport solution that matches the investment in advanced electronics.
