I’m thinking about buying 2-3 SolarForce (6pc / 18650) Battery cases
Those of you that have them, what are your thoughts? Are they built pretty solid?
I’m attracted to them because of the clamshell design.
Solarforce makes a great case … can’t go wrong. A little pricey.
I like these … https://www.gearbest.com/led-accessories/pp_582742.html
Especially with a coupon … I own 5 and have no complaints.
5pcs for $8 you can’t beat that.
How are they holding up?
I have not conducted a water test with batteries installed. But I have traveled with the cases while boating and rainy conditions with no leaks to report. I did submerge an emty sealed case and no leakage. I am sure others here have some experience with these fine cases and might share their opinions.
I recommend them … 
Thanks for responding :+1:
The SolarForce are a little pricey. They appear to be a quality case though
Very solid case and the silicone seal fits great. Had mine for years but after a single drop from 3ft high the hinge part developed a crack, but still in one piece and works fine.
Solarforce are great and not dedicated to 18650 diameter batteries. Great for 26650’s. Build is very tuff.
Pelican. I never thought of that brand being so small. I might look into them :+1:
Thanks for the response, Will :+1:
To answer the original question, no I wouldn’t buy it again, instead I would just store my cells in cheap cases and if I ever need to take my cells to the wet and need to ensure waterproofness I would use something like this:
Fits 4x18650 with some height to spare.
Nice Delrin case. (Hmm, I have some stock of Delrin rod in different diameters. You have me thinking now! 
)
I can get two Pelican micros for a tad more.
I just got the Solarforce case about two days ago. Looks sharp, great for a backpack and i like the way it seals. Will34 mentioned a crack, i agree the plastic seems like the kind that would shatter on impact other than that im ordering a few more. Hope that helps.
After a long look at everything available, I ended up getting four Pelican 1010 Micros.
This particular model will hold 12x-18650’s or 4x-26650’s
