The Zippo lighter Case
As the only storage container complying with the DOT regulations, the Zippo Cargo Case by OtterBox offers Zippo owners convenience when travelling by air.
The Zippo Cargo Case is designed with special insert to hold a Zippo branded pocket lighter and is completely rugged - waterproof to 100 ft., dustproof and drop-resistant.
It was tested to meet stringent DOT standards. Easy-open, yet secure latches provide extra protection and a silicone gasket creates a watertight seal. The case is made of virtually indestructible polycarbonate.
Like all OtterBoxes, the Zippo Cargo Case by OtterBox is crushproof, waterproof and floats. It is backed by the OtterBox lifetime guarantee.
