A Mac Studio is a small machine with a big price — $2,499 (M5 Max) to well past $5,499 (M5 Ultra) once you spec the memory and storage a color or edit suite runs. It’s also finished aluminum that scuffs, with intake vents and a wall of ports that don’t want grit or a drop. This is a Pelican Storm iM2200 shell fitted with our CNC-cut foam to transport one safely, trip after trip — not loose in a backpack.
Fits every Mac Studio chassis, 2022 through 2026 — M1 Ultra, M2 Max/Ultra, M3 Ultra, M4 Max, M5 Max, M5 Ultra. The box did not change. The chip did. Mac Studio M5 Max from $2,499 and M5 Ultra from $5,499 ship 22 September 2026; the same well fits them.
The foam cradles the Mac Studio in a contoured pocket, vents shielded and ports reachable, with separate wells for the power cable, Thunderbolt cabling, adapters, and an external drive or two. The Pelican shell is IP67 watertight and crushproof; the machine rides suspended off the walls.

Fit & shipping FAQ
What fits inside?
The Mac Studio seats in a contoured foam well with separate pockets for the power cable, Thunderbolt cabling, adapters, and an external drive. Need room for a specific dock or drive stack? Tell us on the quote and we cut a pocket for it.
Is the Pelican shell really waterproof?
Yes — the Storm iM2200 shell is IP67 watertight and crushproof, with a purge valve for pressure changes. Our foam handles the impact isolation inside it.
Can I fly with it?
The iM2200 is a compact case that many crews carry on; confirm dimensions against your airline’s limit. It’s equally at home as checked baggage or in a courier’s hands.
What’s the lead time, and can you rush it?
Every case is built to order and ships in about 14–21 business days. Rush production is available as a premium by quote when a deadline is tight — tell us your date and we’ll price it.
Do you build these for multiple machines or a fleet?
Yes. Outfitting several edit bays, a rental inventory, or a multi-office rollout is our specialty — standardized, re-orderable builds with optional engraved IDs. Request a fleet quote and we’ll spec the run.

Will this fit my setup?
Tell us what you’re protecting and everything that travels with it. We check it against this build’s foam layout and reply with either a confirmation or the change we’d make. No obligation, and it goes to the people who cut the foam.
Got it — we’re checking your package.
We have your configuration and the exact build you were looking at. You’ll hear back with a fit confirmation or the modification we’d recommend.
My setup is different
Different body, extra accessories, an accessory that has to stay mounted, or dimensions that don’t exist yet. We modify an existing design or engineer a new one.
I need several
Repeatable foam layouts, consistent hardware, replacement foam and reorders against the same drawing. Standard practice for rental houses and studio fleets.
