Nanuk 930 Waterproof Hard Case Empty - Orange

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 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.

As a person of curiosity, I am always examining and testing new products, looking for ways to make good ideas better; and I can almost always find some feature that could be tweaked or improved. However, this one has me conceding defeat. Over the years I have used a number of products [Haliburton, Pelican, Etc] to protect some very valuable photographic equipment on the job or on the road. It is my personal experience, that for function and value, there is nothing out there that can compete with the design, application and durability of these Nanuk cases. PERIOD! End of story.

I like the case and it is a pretty good size. Durable but could be just a little bit thicker material. The pick and pluck foam on the inside could also be a little better. Its not the best quality foam and unless it is treated properly it will not last for long. The case itself is worth the money but whenever I have to replace the foam I will use a different manufactures foam. I am not worried that anything will get damaged in this case if it was to fall off my truck at speed. So again the case itself is great. I gave 4 stars mostly because I do not like the foam.Currently using it to store all of my Gopro's and Gopro accessories. Works perfectly for this purpose.

Purchased for transporting expensive work equipment. Solid case, great aesthetics and comes with a good amount of foam. Carving out the foam is a bit of a pain but patience will overcome.

great box...amo, photo, or a brief case...waterproof boat laptop....valuables....a good bottle of scotch...all are safe.

I ordered the Nanuk 930 and the Nanuk 920 arrived with slight damage to it.
