A hard camera case is a crush-resistant shell with an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, a pressure equalization valve, and customizable pluck-and-pull foam that protects DSLR, mirrorless, and digital camera bodies, lenses, and accessories during travel, shipping, and storage. Unlike padded bags, a hard shell camera case cannot be crushed, soaked, or compressed in transit.
Hard Camera Cases for Digital, DSLR & Mirrorless Cameras
From compact digital point-and-shoots to full DSLR and mirrorless systems, every Eylar hard camera case delivers the same protection standard: an IP67 waterproof rating, a pressure equalization valve for air travel and altitude changes, and customizable pluck-and-pull foam you shape around your exact bodies, lenses, and accessories. If you're comparing camera cases for digital cameras, the pluck-and-pull foam grid sizes compartments for a slim mirrorless body just as easily as a full-grip DSLR camera case layout — body in the center, lenses stored upright around it, batteries and memory cards along the edge. Photographers who need a durable camera case for daily fieldwork or outdoor camera cases that shrug off rain, dust, and rough transport will find a size in these cases for cameras to match every loadout — including rolling case options for heavier multi-lens kits and the popular 18.5" protective camera case size that fits a DSLR body with several lenses, flashes, and chargers in one crushproof hard shell camera case.
Rolling & XL Roller Camera Cases
When a full kit outgrows a carry size, our rolling camera cases and XL roller cases move heavy loads of photography gear without straining your shoulders. Each rolling hard case for camera equipment carries the same IP67 waterproof seal, pressure equalization valve, and customizable pluck-and-pull foam as our standard cases for cameras — just in a larger camera case hard shell format built for multi-body, multi-lens loadouts. Select sizes are also available in red, pink, and blue alongside classic black, so a bright shell is easy to spot at baggage claim or on a crowded job site. Whether you need compact photography cases for a single mirrorless body or an XL roller for a full production kit, every size shares the same crushproof, weather-sealed construction.
Waterproof Camera Cases — IP67 Sealed for Rain, Dust & Submersion
Every case in this collection is a waterproof camera case by test, not by marketing: the IP67 rating means the shell is dust-tight and survives submersion to 1 meter for 30 minutes with the latches closed. That is what separates a watertight camera case from a padded bag with a rain cover — a swamped kayak, a downpour on a shoot or a wet truck bed does not reach the camera body, lenses or batteries. The pressure equalization valve lets the case open normally after a flight, and the pluck-and-pull foam holds each body and lens in its own cavity, so the same case doubles as a travel case for camera gear on checked flights. Our waterproof camera cases run from the 11.6" compact that fits a mirrorless body and two lenses to the 32" roller for a full production kit.
Which Camera Hard Case Size Do I Need?
Measure your longest lens or body with the lens attached, add about 1" on every side for foam, and pick the first case whose interior clears that number. Interior sizes below are usable foam space (length × width × depth).

Between two sizes? Take the larger one: pluck-and-pull foam lets you close the gaps, but no foam can make a case bigger. Every hard camera case above is IP67 waterproof, crushproof and TSA-approved for checked travel.
Camera Hard Case FAQs
What case covers and protects a camera?
A camera hard case covers and protects a camera with a rigid, crushproof shell, an IP67-rated waterproof and dustproof gasket seal, and customizable pluck-and-pull foam that cradles the body and lenses on all sides. A pressure equalization valve keeps the seal stable through altitude changes, so camera gear stays protected during travel, shipping, and storage.
Are hard camera cases TSA-approved?
Yes. Eylar camera hard cases are TSA-approved for air travel. Lockable fittings accept TSA-accepted padlocks so agents can inspect checked luggage without cutting locks, and the pressure equalization valve prevents vacuum lock at altitude so the case opens normally on arrival.
Can I bring a camera hard case on a plane as a carry-on?
Yes. TSA permits cameras in both carry-on and checked baggage. A hard shell camera case that fits within your airline's carry-on size limits can travel in the cabin; larger cases fly checked, where the crushproof shell, TSA-accepted lock fittings, and IP67 gasket seal protect gear from rough handling.
What size hard case do I need for camera gear?
A compact digital or mirrorless body with one or two lenses fits a small carry-size hard camera case. A DSLR body with several lenses, a flash, and chargers fits the popular 18.5" size, while full multi-body production kits travel easiest in a rolling or XL roller camera case. Every size uses customizable pluck-and-pull foam, so compartments can be shaped to your exact loadout.
How do I fit foam to my camera gear?
Every case includes customizable pluck-and-pull foam. Lay your camera body, lenses, and accessories on the foam grid, trace each outline, then pluck out the pre-scored cubes to create snug, shock-absorbing compartments. No cutting tools are required, and the fit can be reworked as your kit changes.
Are hard camera cases waterproof?
Yes. Eylar hard camera cases carry an IP67 rating, meaning they are fully dust-tight and can withstand temporary water immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The gasket-sealed lid keeps out rain, spray, and dust, and the pressure equalization valve maintains the seal through altitude and temperature changes.
