It includes a large compartment for the pipe mount, cable, and main antenna unit, and a smaller compartment for the AC power supply block. The case has built in dual padlock holes, two locking clasps with a button release, and a snap up / snap down carry handle. The four feet on the bottom of the case will fit into groves on the top so if you have multiple 1505 cases they stack and stay together. I placed an 11 lb battery inside the case (starlink mini kit only weights 7 lbs) with a paper towel over it and threw it in the lake. The case had plenty of buoyancy to keep it floating (in fact, I tried to put a concrete block on top to sink it, and it still kept floating, so I had to push it down to get it to stay underwater). When I opened the case up the paper towel was completely dry. There was a little bit of water along the back edge of the case, but I believe that fell into the case from the top/hinges when I opened it, as opposed to leaking in while underwater. [All of the drops were outside of the foam insert area.] Pelican is the gold standard of protective cases, but you pay for that, and the only real issue I see with it is the price, as it costs about the same as the starlink mini package it will be protecting.
