GoPros are remarkably rugged, so you’re going to want a case that can keep up. Pelican cases are the first in their class. These hard cases come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and models and can handle some pretty harsh treatment. They are dustproof, crushproof, waterproof, and damn near zombie proof.

Additionally, they can be pricey compared to other cases, but different models have different price tags, so shop around a bit to find something that can fit within your budget.
