The Manufacturing Process
The Evolution, Components and Construction of SKB Cases. The unique styling, construction materials and engineering of SKB Cases were the result of many years of research and development by the principle owners of the company. Today, Dave Sanderson and Steve Kottman run SKB Corporation's more than 550 employees in 3 manufacturing facilities around the clock, in order to meet the global demands. Currently, SKB manufactures cases for military/industrial purposes, the Music Pro Audio Industry and Sports Cases.
- SKB Cases are manufactured of ultra-high molecular weight Polyethylene. This unique material was originally specified by the military for use in weapons cases, due to the fact that it is impervious to solvents, fuels or toxic liquids. It is essentially indestructible, molds easily under heat, and forms an "impenetrable shield", thereby protecting whatever it is contains.
- SKB also utilizes aluminum valance material for its strength and lightweight characteristics on all closures, with a special "slot" for a custom fitted Neoprene gasket that assists in sealing out moisture. SKB does all this valance bending in house to assure a perfect fit.
- All riveting on SKB cases utilizes steel backing plates to prevent pulling through the plastic material. This is an SKB invention. This attention to detail is one of many factors that make SKB cases superior to all others.
- Handles, wheels, D-rings, exterior feet, cam-action locking latches and butterfly clamps are all heavy duty variety, and are also covered under the exclusive SKB Lifetime Warranty, unless abused. Some of the handles and latches are manufactured by SKB from plastic "regrind". Plus SKB has their own investment casting facility for making latches and hardware.
- Rack mount cases utilize aluminum rack frames, and include specially designed rack clips and mounting screws for installation of equipment. The Shockrack interior rack frame is a proprietary design with both front and rear rack rails, and an exclusive shock-spring mechanism engineered by SKB. The shock spring concept originally came from a missile carrying case SKB built for the military.
In 1977, SKB Corporation was founded by Steve Kottman and Dave Sanderson. SKB Corporations has 3 manufacturing facilities which include more than 500 employees. SKB produces cases for the military, the music industry and the sports industry. SKB works with the best engineers to create cases that will last a lifetime and offer the best protection. What separates SKB from other case manufacturers? SKB discovered a way to use ultra-high molecular weight Polyethylene to form an indestructible shield that will outlast any severe trauma. The aluminum valance material on SKB cases seals out moisture. The steel backing plates on the cases that prevent pulling through plastic material is an original SKB invention. There is no question about the superiority of SKB Cases. SKB pays great attention to detail to produce one of the best products out in the market today.

Comments about SKB Cases PH Series: Pull Handle Case: 17 1/4" H x 26 5/8" W x 19 1/2" D (outside):
I attend conventions with unusual items that simply can not be crushed. After numerous disasters with standard luggage, I was ready to try something durable. As a frequent flier, I am permitted 70lbs per bag I check, so standard luggage winds up being shattered by baggage handlers upset with my unusually heavy bags. One bag lost its top handle when the buckle broke. I knew I needed a crush-proof throw-proof tough-handled case to replace them all, and this SKB is it. The unusually high lid makes this perfect for the oversized item I carry in it, and there is space to spare for the heavy stuff too. Unlike my wonderfully tough Pelican, this case is not heavy when it's empty - but it is just as durable. The light empty weight of this SKB is a big plus for capacity, I can put a lot more in it and not go over permitted weight. So, where's the down side? Well, the only cons I can come up with: the locks are lacking in security, and there is no place to add your own. The wheels are a tad bit unprotected, but with the warranty, who cares. And finally, the balance is a bit bottom heavy when rolling it with the handle extended, so it has to tip forward a bit past comfortable - unless you load something else on top of it, which actually works pretty well! I still like the Pelican case, but at 10 fewer pounds in empty weight, this SKB is a much better value for flying or shipping - and it looks nicer too. This case is carefully measured to be exactly as big as allowed - 62 linear inches, L+W+H, for most airlines.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was speedy, on time, and exactly as expected. The case was packaged in a very heavy duty double corrugated box, and arrived in perfect condition. UPS tried to rough it up, and failed to put a nick or scratch on it. Even with all of that, the box was still good enough to ship a second time for something else unrelated.
