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

I use a lot of road cases, almost exclusively Pelican and Portabrace. I needed something to hold camera accessories and gave these a try. I must say Im very impressed with the build quality of the case and the padding included. Time will tell how well they hold up, but first impressions are very good indeed.

I put my things in it and they stay in it. What more could I want? I think it’s waterproof, but I’m reluctant to fill it with water to test that feature out as it would be quite heavy when it’s full of water. I’ll take their word for it.

This is a premium quality case. Well built & well engineered. The cubed foal is great for cameras, electronics, etc, but Im using it for a 20 lb steel tool, so I use polyethylene foam to make a custom insert that will handle the weight. But I will definitely buy more Nanuk cases.

I recently purchased a new projector for business purposes. It did not come with a case. I wanted to get a hard case for it to protect against damage caused by traveling, storing it, etc. Amazon recommended a case for around $50 that was supposedly built for the projector. I read all of the reviews, and while many were positive, the consensus was that the case was a light duty thin walled plastic box. I have other equipment I store in a Pelican case and have been extremely pleased with it. Thats the style and quality of case I was used to and thats what I wanted to protect my expensive electronic equipment this time around as well. However, for this purchase, I didnt want to spend $200+ for a comparable product from Pelican. I found Nanuk by chance when I was searching for an alternative. Reviews sounded good. The product looked good, their website gave me confidence and over all the product seemed to fit my criteria. The price was $114 on Amazon for a black Nanuk 925 case (the size I needed). For an extra $64 over the light duty case and a savings of about $120 over the Pelican Case, I thought this was worth a try. So far this case is Bad A**! Comparing My Pelican Case to the Nanuk 925 Side by side, I cant tell the difference in quality. The main difference I can see is with the latches. I like the Nanuk hinges better than the Pelican. They grab the top of the case and pull it down tight to make the seal. The Pelican Case I have closes neatly and the latches close nicely, but the Nanuk just feels like it makes a tighter seal. The Nanuk Case came with 2 pieces of special cubed foam inside (1 to use and 1 spare) that i was easily able to separate to make a perfect fit for the projector and accessories. The carry handle feels like the Pelican Case and the outer shell looks and feels similar. Aside from the latches, the only difference appears to be that Pelican is made in the US and It sounds like Nanuk is made in China. If I were a brand snob and had more money to spend, Id go with Pelican hands down. However, quality, functionality and price are important factors to me for this purchase, and so far, this case appears to be the best deal that I have found for my situation. Id recommend this case to anyone looking for a solid weather proof high quality plastic case for protecting their gear.

Awesome product .. takes a beatn from every location I take my tools to .. love it

With foam inserts, solid and with an equalizing valve. This truly is an excellent case. Highly recommended.

I often take my camera out on my boat during the summer months and needed a case that could withstand the water and moisture on a daily bases. While at my local Camera store I ran across the Nanuk cases. You might wonder why I did not go with Pelican, the answer was simple, I broke my nail trying to latch the case. Really! The case has worked out perfect and the latches are a dream.

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.

How do you say Chinese knockoff of Pelican and Storm products? Nanuk. Plus for the price it is the same as Pelican and Storm products, so you are paying no discount for some D-bags who shipped the American products over to China to make a dishonest buck.

This case is perfect for a smaller camera kit. Two layers of padding are a nice touch - being able to pluck out the shape for your device, with plenty of foam below, and an egg carton foam lining in the lid. I use it for a Leica M camera + 3 lenses, light meter, charger, batteries, memory cards, and there is still room for 1-2 more lenses (maybe one day.) I would vote for a larger case to fit a DSLR like a Canon Mark II or Nikon D3 - I wouldnt risk the reduced padding youd need to fit the larger body and lenses into this 925 case.
