I-teknoloji ngokuqinisekileyo yenza ukuba lula kube lula kwaye kuyonwabele kwiminyaka yamuva. Iifowuni zefowuni ezifana nezixhobo ze-smartphones kunye neepilisi ziye zavumela ukuba sihlale sidibana nabahlobo kunye nosapho ekhaya, ngelixa kunika iiyure zokuzonwabisa xa zihamba ngeenqwelo ezide okanye ukuchitha ixesha kwiindawo zeenqwelo eziphambili. I-iPad yam isisigxina rhoqo nasiphi na uhambo ndiya kuthatha le mihla, ndivumela ukuba ndifunde iincwadi, ubukele iifilimu, uphulaphule umculo, kwaye udlale imidlalo xa uthabatha igumbi elincinci kwipokethi yam.
Kodwa njengendwendwe ehamba phambili, ndihlala ndifumana iindwendwe ezikude, ngaphandle kweendawo ezingahlali zihlala kwiindawo zobugcisa ezintle. Ukukhusela iipilisi zam ezixabisekileyo zihlala zixhalabisa kakhulu, ngokukodwa xa uhamba e-Himalaya okanye udibanise kwiindawo ezikude zase-Afrika. Ngombulelo, abantu abalungileyo kwiPelican banikeza uluhlu olubanzi lwezinto zokukhetha ukugcina i-tech gear ekhuselekileyo kwingozi, kubandakanywa neengxaki zeVault ezizinzileyo ezakhiwe nge-iPad engqondweni.
Iinguqu zePalican ze-Vault ze-iPad kunye ne-iPad Mini, kwaye ngaphandle kohlu lwazo olucacileyo ngobukhulu bafana ngokufanayo. Iimeko ezinokuqhaqhaqhazelayo ezinokuqhaqhazelayo nezizinzileyo zifake ikhabethe lakho kwisigqeba esipheleleyo sesibambiso esingazikhuselanga nje kuphela kumathambeka emilenze kwiindawo ezikhuni, kodwa zivela kwizinto ezinzima ezihlala zihlangene nazo ngaphandle. Yenziwe kwi-rubber engaxinzekanga, impembelelo engathintekiyo, i-Vault nayo ifaka isiqhekeza esikhusela isikrini esiqhubeka sikhusela i-iPad kwiingozi ezibi.
Esi sibopheko sinobanjelwe kwindawo ye-aluminium-grade-aircraft eqinisekisa ukuba ihlala ixhomekeke ngokucacileyo kwimeko ngokwayo nokuba kungakhathaliseki ukuba kakubi ukunyanzeliswa. Isiphumo sakhiwe ukuba sihambe nathi kuzo zonke iinjongo zethu, kungakhathaliseki ukuba zisithatha phi.
Emva kokuba kufakwe ngaphakathi kwiVault, kwaye i-lid livaliwe ngokuqinile, i-iPad iyazikhusela ngokupheleleyo ekuthungeni uthuli kunye nokungcola, okuvame ukuba nefuthe elibi kunoma yiphina ifowuni.
Ithebhulethi exhotywe ngeVault iyakwazi ukusinda ixiliswe emanzini, okanye iphoswe ngemvula yokushayela, ngenxa yesitywina esicacileyo sokuba le meko idala. Abakhuseli beebhola bakhupha i-headphone jack, i-Lightning port, kunye namanye amanqaku athathaka kwi-iPad, ngelixa esinika umsebenzisi lula ukufikelela kumachweba ahlukeneyo kunye nokutshintsha njengoko kuyimfuneko. Uluhlu olukhuselekileyo, kodwa ngokucacileyo, igalazi ihlanganisa i-lens yekhamera ejongene nayo yangaphambili, igcina ikhuselwe kakuhle ngelixa ivumela ukuba isetyenziswe ukuthatha iifoto kunye nevidiyo kwiindlela zethu zokuhamba.
Kucacile ukuba abaqulunqi bePelican bafaka ingcinga eninzi ekwakhiweni kwalo mveliso.

Injongo ephambili ngale meko kukukhusela iidijethi zethu ezibuthathaka kungakhathaliseki ukuba sizithabathaphi, kwaye kungakhathaliseki ukuba sisiza kangakanani isijelo esiya kuso. Ngenxa yoko, iVault ivakalelwa ngathi ingabonakaliyo, leyo iqhutyiswa ngakumbi yinto yokuba inkampani ibuyiselwa ngesiqinisekiso sokuphila.
Ukuba kukho inkqonkqenkqeza ukuba yenziwe ngokubhekiselele kwimeko yeVault mhlawumbi akunakulungele ukufumana i-iPad yakho naphandle kwayo. I-Apple ikhiphe idivaysi encinci, ergonomic endikhetha ukuyisebenzisa ngaphandle kwimeko xa ndihamba. Kodwa ukuze kufezekiswe isitywina esomeleleyo esiphendula uthuli kunye nobuncwane, ithebhulethi kufuneka ifakwe kwi-Vault enomgca wengubo okhusela imida yayo yangaphandle. I-iPad Mini versioin yeVault leyo iplati ibanjwe endaweni eneemisundu ezithandathu ezimele zisuswe xa zithatha ithebhulethi ngaphakathi okanye ngaphandle. Oku kuthatha ixesha elithile, kwaye kuya kufuneka ukhumbule ukugcina umkhondo wezo zonke izikrini, kunye ne-hex efakwe kwisixhobo. Abanikazi be-iPad enkulu ye-Apple banokubi ngakumbi.
