Why Armor Case

Experience

First, at the risk of being repetitive, our case designs have evolved from over 14 years of case manufacturing experience. The last thing we want is to hear that one of our customers has had an item damaged. This has not happened yet! we have seen some really beat up cases too!

Quality

Our cases are designed around durability first, aesthetics second and manufacturing costs third. We spend the extra dollars for the best components based on the application and STILL BEAT ANYONES PRICES! What extra costs and time we put into our initial manufacturing comes back to us two fold in the time we save by not having to perform modifications or repairs. This has also earned the respect of our clients and keeps them coming back.

Smart Design

Our cases are extremely durable, yet they are as light as possible without sacrificing overall strength or continuity. The mechanics of the design exceed the strength of the materials. Say what..(you mumble)? For example, remember the egg off the roof project in school? Well, many of you may have seen the egg protected from a 12 foot drop with nothing but a piece of notebook paper and a bit of tape. Well, we don’t use either of those materials but, our designs are based on the same principals. Allowing the outer protective shell to shift and flex to absorb impact. This helps prevent the shock from being transferred to the contents and keeps the case from breaking or splitting.

Above is a shot of a corner section. Notice the thickness of the extrusion. Not the thin stuff that is available for less cost. Not a solid corner (nailed, screwed, glued or stapled) like other cases which will split the shell material on impact. This channeled corner design allows the outer shell pieces to “give” on impact which help prevent them from breaking or splitting at the seams. There simply are no “seams”.

Another advantage to this “modular” design is the fact that if a single component is damaged beyond repair, just that piece can be replaced. In non-modular & molded case designs, several pieces or the entire case must be replaced at substantially greater cost.

Take a look at what else makes our cases superior. This strong aluminum extrusion is pneumatically crimped with 120psi at least every inch. Since we want to avoid a “solid butting” edge or seam, this method provides a much stronger and durable alternative to connecting the panel sections to each other with nails, glues, screws or staples. Therefore, under a heavy impact the entire case will “flex and give” helping to protect the side panels from splitting at the seams where they would normally be attached to each other in other inferior designs.

This method also saves room. Eliminating the need for thick internal wooden corner pieces to support the exterior shell saves several inches on the inside diameter in most cases. This allows us to protect the contents better, and with a smaller, lighter case than our competitors!

Reality

All the mechanics and technical stuff aside, there is something to be said for experience. Our cases have been built by the same individual for over 14 years now. Not factory workers but. a true craftsman. A man who takes great pride in his work. Who would you rather have build your cases?
