The "Runaway" short as well as episode 2x04 of Discovery features this small carrying case as a first aid kit (inside are a hypo and dermal regenerator). I'm hoping someone out there can help identify it!
It really looks like a found part to me -- there are a lot of cases these days in this general style with similar latches. The larger medkit in the show was made from scratch, though, so that's a possibility (the way the handle is filled in sticks out to me as odd); for something so 21st century and manufactured looking as this I'm still leaning towards found item.
Size-wise it looks about 10-12 inches wide. The two halves look identical - on each half there's a raised lip running around the left perimeter of the inner face, and a matching groove running around the right, such that when the mating faces close the opposing lips and grooves interlock. Because of this I don't think the case was originally waterproof as there's no continuous groove for a gasket and a break in the center to boot.
I looked through the usual suspects (Artbin, Plano, Sterilite, Stanley) and didn't find any matches. I've been paying particular attention to the shape of the latches and their angled cut-out as that might be a giveaway for the brand. Does this ring a bell for anyone out there?
