I haven't dropped it either tho'.
I would think that for 99% of use, they would be fine. If you are travelling abroad though, or going on a rough trip, you might want to spend an extra $100-$400 as Pelicans ARE great cases for protecting your preciousess.

FWIW, Bunnings has a Kinchrome one on wheels that looks like it would hold a shortish 4" and would definately cope with something in the 70-90mm size.
