Durability and light weight go together.
Durable and lightweight material "Plapeal" is adopted. Unlike typical mount cases made of solid aluminum boards in all 6 sides, the "plaperal" board surprisingly excels in bending and no need to joint the boards for a rectangular case. As a result, this increases in airtightness. It successfully helps in reducing weight of the SX mount case by 50% as compared with the conventional SX aluminum case. The SX mount case has reduced the volume by 16% also.
The "Plapearl" is a kind of plastic boards made from polyolefins and it is produced by Kawakami Sangyo in Japan. It features lightweight, durability, high capability for bending and restored against dent. It protects your equipment in safety like a cushion in addition to the strength required by the case.
