Nanuk Large Series 930 Lightweight NK-7 Resin Waterproof Case with Cubed Foam, Black

i own probably about a dozen cases from pelican from small to large as well as a storm case and i have owned but returned one of those italian cases from plaber or whatever they're called but nothing comes close to the quality of this nannuk.the latches are HUGE and at the same time smooth as butter ! the case is cavernous yet light ! but it is still strong enough for everything except driving a car over it.if you are buying a case to drive cars over it get a pelican - and suffer with a heavy case and stiff latches that are almost deafening when you do manage to snap them shut. to open a pelican case you will typically need to stand on it to take pressure off latches - either that or just break your fingers trying to open them.nanuk latches by comparison it's like switching from a WW2 era tractor to a brand new mercedes - so impossibly luxurious it makes you wonder why would anybody buy a pelican ? i know i never will buy a pelican again that's for sure !one downside is the lid is quite flexible - when you close it you can see it flex and this may create issues with water tightness of a seal - so again - if you plan on using your laptop case as a flotation device maybe pelican is better.basically pelican is great for some kind of scenario where you're jumping out of a helicopter and into a waterfall with it which is probably good for marketing but the way you actually use these cases Nanuk is far superior because it's lighter, it looks better and the latches are simply the best.my Storm case also has nice latches - 10 times better than pelican - but the Nanuk latch is still twice as good as the storm latches.basically the case itself is about the same quality between Pelican, Storm and Nanuk but the quality of latches i would rate as follows. Pelican - 2 out of 10. Storm - 6 out of 10. Nanuk - 8 out of 10.only reason i don't give Nanuk latch 10 out of 10 is because it doesn't look as strong as Pelican latch, though perhaps stronger than Storm latch.what i don't like about Storm latches is they are so flat it's hard to find the release. Pelican latch of course has no release at all - it's just brute force - your fingers versus the latch. the Nanuk latch is as smooth as the Storm latch but it's also sculpted in such a way that makes it really easy to find the release just by feel and as a result you can open it without looking or thinking and in half the time - it also seems stronger than the Storm latch.anyway this is the best case you can buy right now IMO. i also prefer the feel of the resin on this case as well - it is smoother, more flexible and luxurious feeling than Pelican resin which feels very rough and inflexible.basically Nanuk = Mercedes. Storm = Acura. Pelican = 20 year old Chevy.

I was looking for a specific size case and found 3 from different manufacture's close to the size but none exact. Ended up purchasing 3, due to the size difference. One cost $54, another $85~ and another $150. The sizes were different only by an inch or two in width, length and depth. The best constructed and durable were the $84 and $150 with the largest being the $85~ (this one). This one ($85~) was the best design with the best latches that self locked to prevent accidental opening. Simple to unlock with double hinged latch. In addition, the $85~ (this one) came with a one inch foam attached to the lid and base as apposed to the $150 only to the lid. The $85~ came with two main foam inserts with pre cut pop out squares which allows two layer design while still having a one inch cushion remaining in the lid and base. The $150 came with only one main foam which when squares were removed to accommodate equipment, left no cushion in the base. Bottom line: The Nanuk 930-1001 had more forward design thought put into it than did the more expensive one even though the more expensive one is a known brand. In addition, the Nanuk 930-1001 was almost half the cost.

Great quality and works great for storing electronics.

I haven't been too aggressive with this case, but I own other Nanuk cases that have proven to be reliable (I have a Nanuk case for my DJI Phantom that I've checked through TSA before. If it can survive TSA and baggage handling then it's pretty tough).This case is very spacious, very deep, including two thick layers of foam. The lid also includes a few extra inches itself for items with a little more bulk. It just perfectly fits what I bought to store in it. Eventually I'm going to custom cut the foam for the item I have in it rather than using the pluck and pull squares.The rubberized handle is nice when you have to carry it longer distances. I'm not a huge fan of the clasps, but it's not a deal breaker in any way. The reason I don't like them is if you have an item in the case that's bulkier it might push the lid up just enough that when you release the clasp you still need to push down on the lid so the clasp will actually let go of the lid. It's just a minor annoyance since it requires an extra step to actually open the case after opening the clasps.Overall, Nanuk provides a great product at a competitive price. I'm sure this won't be the last Nanuk product I buy.

It arrive in great condition from Amazon warehouse deals - just as described. The packing was beat up but the case was fine. I own numerous Nanuk cases, from the 910 to the 940 - all are great. The 930 is no exception. The latches are easy to use, yet lock solidly. The case is sturdy and reasonably air tight. If compressed a lot it might be possible for air to leak past some of the seams. Nanuks are not quite as "military" as Pelicans, but more than up most abuse. The foam is good quality, but the perforations can be inconsistent. I use a very sharp filet knife to cut out the shapes I want. The 930 has 4 layers of foam: one in the lid, two mid layers about 2 inches thick, and one bottom later about 3/4's of an inch. Great case.

Normally I buy Pelican but this was on sale so I thought I would get one. I think its a good case and close in terms of quality to a Pelican, however I think the material a Pelican is made of is a little tougher and they have ridges that reinforce the case on a Pelican making it more durable. The clamps/locks on the Pelican are more difficult to open & close but are more solid and less likely to break. Another thing, Nanuk is made in Canada so if you need warranty work it will cost you to ship it to the factory where as Pelican is made in the USA so shipping should be less. If I have my choice I would still go with Pelican but if you can find one of these at a discount price I think they are an excellent value.
