The Protector latch has a stronger seal and is therefore considered stronger. Of the two cases, Pelican Storm is lighter – mostly due to the material that has made each case. Its body is constructed with HPX® high impact resin while the Protector is built with Polypropylene.
The major difference in accessories is seen within the bezel kits/panel frames. The Panel frames on the Protector are relatively easier to install than the Bezel kits of the Storm case.
Pelican Protector uses wheels with stainless steel pins while the Storm's wheels use alloy pins. Alloy metals can be corroded by salt water but stainless steel can’t.
