THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL DJI CUSTOMERS:

Do not buy the DJI Backpack from an authorized reseller, DJI will not stand behind their product,vin fact don't buy their case at all, as it does not hold up well, my case was purchased from Beach Camera and the inserts on the feet as coming apart, DJI will not stand behind their manufactured product. They could care less, they say that is their policy,  This is no different than if I went to Best Buy and bought an Apple Product, ultimately the manufacturer would stand behind their product. DJI REFUSES TO DO THAT

Do yourself a favor and buy a case from a reputable dealer, stay away from the DJI CASE!!!!!!!

My dji case has been great and withstood a lot of abuse. It's not a question of Case Quality

My DJI case is also good after almost five months.
Took it on many outdoor trips. No issue here.
But, I am curious as to why/how yours deteriorated.

Cheap copy. I almost went for that one but just didn't quite trust the inserts. Glad I got the DJI one ;) it's a great quality.

Dude, it's a cheap copy. It doesn't even have the DJI letters on the top. It's hard closed-cell foam, not soft foam inside.
If you however are aware of this, then yes it's very cheap.

The feet are coming apart, the case was purchased 1/18/16, Beach Camera, the reseller on Amazon said I would need to go through DJI since it was more than 45 days since I bought it, DJI flat out refuses to honor a warranty on their product if you do not purchase directly from them

Well, I don't own the DJI backpack but while I was shopping at my local Micro Center, they had both the Phantom 3 Pro and the backpack on display and I did notice that their display model was missing 2 of the rubber legs on the bottom. I know people may pick at things at the store but made me decide not to purchase. I'll stick with my Nanuk 945 but the only issue is the weight

I'm sorry that you had an issue with it. I have not heard of any back pack complaints before.
I've had mine a year and it's pretty scratched up and the feet look extremely used from lugging it all over and setting it down in all kinds of terrain.
BUT, all 4 feet are still securely intact.
Can you post a photo and I will show it to the repair department.
Your thread title may be a little over the top. You may want to add something to the fact that you are talking about the back pack in the title.

If you won't stand behind an authentic accessory purchased from a reseller that's an issue that ALL your customers need to be aware of it says in the response I got from your support team that any product that isn't purchased directly from your website won't be taken care of, when I first contacted your company I got this response,

I apologize for the experience you have had with your product. We at DJI Technology of North America would like to assist with the refund/exchange process.



Items can only be exchanged for like products, upgrading or downgrading your purchase is not possible.




DJI Technology does not provide refunds for third party dealers, only purchases made through theDJI Online Store qualify for refund/exchange.

Items returned in retail packaging with shipping label attached will not be processed for refund or exchange. All items must be secured within separate packaging acceptable for transport.





Thank you for choosing DJI,

"The Future of Possible!"



But a day later got this response

Dear Xxxxxxxx
I am very sorry. We are unable to assist as the backpack was not purchased from us and we do not repair them. I do apologize for the inconvenient news.

You bought it on eBay.  Not many companies honor a warranty on an item sold through eBay that's almost anything unless specifically stated in the auction that it carries full US manufacturers warranty.  I guarantee if you had bought it at an authorized retailer like B&H (directly not through eBay). This would have been resolved.   This should thread should be titled WARNING:  BUY FROM AUTHORIZED DEALER IF YOU EXPECT WARRANTY SERVICE AFTER THE FACT

I got the hard shell back pack included with my P3A.
I haven't really put it through a real test yet but it seems fine as far as quality.
My only complaint is lack of space for accessories like prop guards, sun shields, etc.
I actually had one of those inexpensive soft backpacks for my fc40. It was more like a suitcase and you could fit way more stuff in it.

I also have the DJI Hardshell Backpack.
Only one thing I don't like, although it is not going to make me want to send it back.
I don't like the fact that I have to take the props off to put it inside the case for transporting.
My next case I will pay attention to this little caveat.

Other than that. Its great.

Here are the pics, I'm upset that these feet on the DJI case didn't hold up and DJI won't stand behind their product.

You were correct I did incorrectly say eBay nd corrected my post , I apologize, when I was typing my post, I was thinking I should have just bought a cheap knockoff on ebay for $40 instead of the $144 I spent from Beach Camera thru Amazon, but I wanted to support DJI when I made the purchase on the case and now I'm regretting my purchase.
I would have posted pictures sooner but I had to make them smaller since the file size wouldnt let me upload them here in their original format.

I have the same case and have had it for 4 months now, It is still in perfect condition. It all depends on how you take care of your gear, if you drag it by the handle each time you lift it the rubber feet are going to grip the surface they are on (that is what they are there for) and inevitably tear away.
Lift the case straight up by the handle and you won't have that problem, everything and anything has it's limitations it is after all a plastic, rubber and foam object, so a modicum of care on the user side would be expected.

I had the DJI original case, shoulder strap stitching came away after about 2 weeks. Took it back to dealer I purchased from and they replaced without question. New one has taken some punishment and held up well. Every product has a minute number of items with defects, sounds like you unfortunately got one.

I take it no consumer protection laws in US then? In UK we're  covered up to 6 months from date of purchase for defects under law......

yes we have quite a few consumer protection laws in the U.S.
Unfortunately China does not have to abide by them.

I see, I thought the feet were coming off from the shell.
The inner strip looks torn on one of them. I am sorry that it happened.
I do not work in the customer service or repair center but I will at least show this to them Monday. But since you've already gotten word from the customer service center, I really have no pull with them.
Here is a photo of mine and it's just about a year old.

The white center part of the feet should not have done that, I put the case in an overhead compartment on a flight, yes I guess the flight attendant probably slid it around in the compartment one or two times mad when I got off the flight I noticed the rubber sticking out on 3 of the feet, that should not happened, I would be grateful if you could get me 4 replacement feet.

I can't believe How upset you are over something as trivial as this. If you complain about something so minor as this in life...........can't imagine how you deal with the important things in life. Give it a rest. Take some superglue for God's sakes and fix this minor defect yourself.
