Hercules HR-9000 Super Strong Extra Large Aluminum System Hard Case for Digital Cameras and Camcorders (Black) Review
This case comes with the prescored foam and a set of dividers. I did not use the dividers because the foam met all my needs.
Lay out your equipment and note the position of each item. Then pull out the prescored foam blocks to create a place for each item. That's it. Simple, and fun.
I was concerned that tearing out the foam blocks might leave dust and particles behind. But, I have not been able to find any. The blocks seem to come out cleanly.
The case will take a lot of casual abuse: bumping into doors, knocking aginst other gear, etc. Although I have not dropped mine, I feel certain that it, and the gear inside, would survive a three or four foot drop.
I have shipped gear in less well constructed containers, but I would not ship this case or check it at an airport. While I do think the gear inside would survive, I would not want my case to be subjected to that abuse.
If you want a case that can survive a heavy hammer blow, you should pay 0-0 for a solid metal case. If you want a case that can protect your gear from the forces of knocks, mild drops, shuffling about in a car, an so on, then this one will do the job for a fraction of that price.
I like this case very much. It holds a Canon 450D, the two kit lenses, a 50mm prime, Nissin flash, Gossen Meter, extra battery, battery charger, remote, and misc. small items. I always have one of the lenses mounted on the camera, ready to use.
Although Amazon advertised that they might take 4 to 6 weeks to ship, they actually shipped in a few days. I am pleased both with the case and Amazon.

The Hercules HR-9000 works well for my video and sound equipment. It is a perfect size. I have a Canon HV30 camcorder, JuicedLink audio mixer, Sennheiser wireless kit, Shotgun mic, batteries, mis cables and there is room to spare. Like others have said, this case is not going to stand up to too much torture. If you plan to throw this case and contents into the back of a pickup repeatedly, it might not be the case for you. It is adequate if you are careful and take care of your equipment.
The only strange thing is the box from the manuafcturrre states that the outside dimensions are 13 x 10.25 x 5.125 and inside are 12.325 x 9.625 x 4.5. The description from Amazon.com does contain the correct dimensions. The ones on the box are incorrect. Thank You Amazon for getting it right.
