Hello Carlos,
Congratulations! I am familiar with the tropical case. It is offered on camera
fairs over here occasionally. I understand that the tube for Silica gel
desiccant is present. That is good, it is quite often missing.
Ferdi.

Yesterday I received a Rollei Tropical metal case in very good condition.
It's hardly bigger and wider than a TLR camera, however it has room for a
lens hood. It's light despite the robust metal construction and designed to
float on the water with the camera inside. You slide the camera into the
basis using the Rolleifix groove, the basis has a pivot mechanism, this way
the camera reaches the vertical up position when you open the frontal door
and you can take photos, the same way the camera is kept in the vertical down
position when you close the frontal door. It has a tube for silica gel. This
case looks more practical and safer than the ever ready case and it's
provided with a leather strap. I will upload some images when I have time to
do it.
Carlos
