The case itself takes most of any impact. The foam holds the goodies in place and stops them rattling around. You can also buy configurable dividers for the Pelican cases. Although I don't have any real doubts about the protection offered by the foam, I think the dividers probably offer more. They have the additional advantage of being re-configurable; once you've plucked the foam it stays plucked, so you have no real options about different arrangements for different sets of gear. The dividers cost, of course. -- Cheers, Bob
