Nanuk 925-1001 Waterproof Hard Case with Foam Insert - Black

This case is large enough for most items. Even though it is light for its size, with contents added, the total weight to carry by the handle is such that I recomment the strap. The strap, which secures the closed case, must be removed before opening. The latches are excellent, and I feel confident in its protection.

I have an active lifestyle and electronics often suffer the brunt. This case protects my gear like no other.

this case is a lot lighter than the traditional pelican cases. the latches are also really nice and easy to operate. had it for a couple months and so far its been good I bought this one with the diced foam and have to say its 100% than peilcans foam. the big difference is that the precut sections really only cut about 25% of the material as opposed to pelicans that more like 75% cut. this means this foam should stay together rather than fall apart like the other guys. not sure if this will stand up to constant rough handling by airlines, but a trip or two should make it obvious. when ever I ship pelicans the airlines always manage to nick out deep scratches or peices of corners, itll be interesting to see if this holds up as well. its also nice to be able to have a range of colors to pick from rather than pretty much black.

Excellent lightweight case. Only deducting star because the handles and latches are made in a way that they grab your skin sometimes (painful) and the optional shoulder strap must be removed prior to opening the case. A flaw. Otherwise I love it. Lighter than the equivalent Pelican, but not as user-friendly.

I ran out of room in my Pelican 1510 and I was looking for something to hold my manual focus lenses and other pieces of gear. Pelican cases are expensive and I was looking to do a little better cost wise. I found Nanuk, which I had never heard of before, via the internets. The Nanuk 925 case is similar to Pelican in features, with a few differences: The latches are of a better design, they will probably save your gear if they open somehow during a fall since they have an extra safety on them--even if latch pops, the case wont fall open. The handle folds into a locked position which is nice. Plastic seems softer but not sure if it is weaker. This case does NOT have the metal lock reinforcements like my Pelican. The padded dividers have less padding. The overall outline of the dividers is just as thick--sides and bottom--but the individual dividers are thinner. The divider system is much more customizable than the Pelicans due to the fact that the entire bottom has velcro and there are more/different sizes of dividers. However, the dividers, while better, are still not perfect. Two of the long ones only have velcro on one side and thus the case is not as customizable as it could be... I shoot Pentax and I was able to fit the following gear in the Nanuk 925: Pentax DA 14mm f 2.8 w/hood, Sigma 28mm f1.8 w/hood, Pentax A 28mm f2.8, Pentax FA 35mm f2 w/hood, Pentax FA 50 f1.4, Pentax F 35-70 f3.5-4.5, Pentax DA 18-55 f4-5.6 AL II w/hood, Tamron 28-105 f4-5.6 w/hood, Pentax A 70-210 f4, Metz AF-58 Flash w/case, Pentax 28mm lens hood w/case, Hoya 49mm ND8 filter w/case. That amount of gear filled the thing and I had two of the small dividers left over. I set it up as seen in the photos except I used the small dividers to sub divide the top right compartment into 3 sections for the 18-55 and 28-105 zooms and the 28mm lens hood and the bottom right section into one long portion for the 70-210 zoom and the hoya filter. The 925 is about the size of a regular, full-size briefcase in all dimensions. This means you have little depth for larger lenses. In other words, you will have to lay the longer glass on its side. In my configuration all of the short glass was stuck in vertically with the exception of the 70-210 zoom. The flash also was placed on its side. I do not believe you could put a DSLR with grip in this standing up, it would have to lay on its back and thus take up more room. A DSLR without a grip/battery pack (Pentax k100d, k20d) would fit standing up. To compare, the Pelican 1510 is much deeper and you can put some telephotos in it straight up--I have a Takumar 200mm f4 and a Pentax FA 100-300 f4.7 in that case and they fit straight up and down, my k20d DSLR also fits in there with grip straight up as well. Clearly, Nanuk is just as high quality as the Pelican, with some additional improvements. Their prices seem a bit more reasonable and they have sales--which I never find with Pelican. I like this case, but as always I wish I would have got a bigger one!

I purchased this item for my husband. He really liked the way it was made and foam on the inside. Would buy again.

Solid case for the money, has others on the market beat for durability, function and water tightness all for half the cost. We use this to fit out Tieline iMix G3 remote mixer in, so it can be safely toted out to radio remote broadcasts. So far, its taken a licking and keeps on ticking, while protecting the expensive gear inside.

Are use it for my watch collection it’s perfect it’s worth the money to protect whatever valuables that you have airtight and waterproof awesome

Great case plan to buy more

Good storage and flexible compartment options. Nice alternative to Pelican . Price was attractive as well. Would suggest to others
