I like this as I can put this in my flight bag and not worry about a soft case allowing damage.

Over $700 is a bit rich for my blood. šŸ™„ ---

Am I missing something :-). $700 ? Only $7.68 each ---

No. I go there and get $720 (down from $1,000). My currency is set correctly on the page. At the checkout, the total is $771.93. The tariff is only $43.20, so thatā€™s not the problem. But they have a related item for $8.83. Thereā€™s a reason I donā€™t buy from AliExpress anymore. ---

Wow, interesting. I purchased 6 of these for other equipment in my lab. I am based in Canada and donā€™t have the tariff war that the US is engaged in. And not had a problem YET with aliexpress. ---

I find that absolutely bizarre! What is the possible reason, -software glitch based on locale? -Actual cost due some type of government interference due to retaliation? I have not had a problem like that ever, and I have purchased things such as low coersitiviy mag tape to make memory cards and mag strips for computers. Tell you what, I will purchase 100 and sell them at 600 as a favour šŸ¤Ŗ Aside from all this, it is an excellent case if you can get it for the cheap price! A tip, the latches are very secure. I sand the contact points to make it easier to open and close. Geoff ---

It really is bizarre as I have ordered in the last three weeks, four mediums and six large and in both cases, they were the low price and delivered within seven days. As I said, very bizarre Cheers But I love the case, they are really tough and with the foam very protective from movement inside the case. ---

Thatā€™s clearly a ā€œI donā€™t want to sell to the US, go awayā€ price, not an error. ---

That makes sense. A while ago, I tried to buy some Raspberry Pi Zero 2Ws, from Micro Center. šŸ˜²The first one was something like $10, but the second one was $9,999.99! The clerk, at first, thought that it was a mistake, but when he checked it out, it turned out that they did not want people to purchase more than one. ā˜¹ ---

It looks like the price on the hard case normalized. Was able to buy the large one for about $15 USD.
