I recently purchased two of the iM3200 (one black and one OD), and as soon as I opened the packages I was impressed.These cases are extremely well made and the design has no fault that I have yet discovered.
The case body is extremely durable. I am 87kg and I can stand on the centre of the lid of the empty case without concern for damaging it. It barely even flexes under my weight.
The hinges are very strong and the iM3200 has four of them, being made from a thick metal rod that slides into the mouldings of the case itself. The rods are approximately 8mm thick.
The foam inserts (four of them) are firm but easily cut to suit your individual equipment application. There is an egg-shell foam lid-liner, two 45mm thick panels, and one thin panel (10mm) that lines the bottom. 100% custom-design it, just as YOU like it!
The six latches are strong, yet easy to open, with the press-to-release button on each one. There is one latch at each end, and four on the front. They have never opened accidentally, and I have never skinned a knuckle on them. Great design!
The carry-handles are soft-coated, yet still tough, allowing for better grip than plastic. There are two handles, with one allowing for normal carriage, the other on the end of the case for use when wheeling the case on it built-in wheels. The wheels themselves are very tough and silent running. Both handles fold and 'Click' in to the body of the case, so as to be out of the way when not in use.
I have found that the iM3200 is perfect in size for my 20” Barrelled Rem700 Tactical, which is 40” overall. This leaves me a full 2” of padding at each end. Any longer barrel and you will need to consider the iM3300. There is room in the case for areas to be cut out for; rifle and scope, bolt (removed from action) bipod (removed from stock), rolled-up sling, full-length cleaning rod, and I still have room to spare with generous areas between items.
I highly recommend Storm cases to anyone that wishes to properly protect their equipment and I will certainly be buying more Storm cases as the need arises.
My Storm cases were purchased from Warrior Gear.
