935 Lid Organizer

This 935 lid/laptop organiser was a big reason why I went with a Nanuk case over Pelican 1535/10 (Pelican don’t really have an equivalent) and I have to say I’m converted! The 935, lid organiser and padded dividers are all excellent quality, which is difficult to appreciate from photos. Despite this organiser being quite obviously designed to store a laptop, Nanuk don’t advertise it as such. Prehaps they don’t want liability incase your laptop gets damaged. But the 935 is so solid I feel pretty confident to store my laptop in it. The surface against the inside of the lid is rubberised, the panel has some soft padding. The gusset is approx 1in deep with thin neoprene at the base and edges so can accommodate my 14’ MacBook Pro with or without its soft case. Zip pulls are made from nice rubberised material with red elasticated conceal. The transparent compartments are strong, smooth on the outside, lightly textured on inside. Fitting was easy enough to fit with glued Velcro and two screws along the top edge. Despite the excellent quality I still feel it is quite expensive but you soon get over it once you experience Nanuk.

This is probably the best lid organizer ever constructed for these style cases. Unfortunately its made/designed specifically for the Nanuk 935 whereas I have a Pelican 1510. BUT since the 935 and 1510 are almost identical twins I scoured the web to see if anyone had successfully installed this lid. Sadly I didnt find a single mention of it so I assumed it wasnt possible. As I looked for lid organizers designed for the 1510 I could only compare them to the LIDO... and they all sucked. Luckily a few weeks ago most authorized retailers started selling the LIDO for 50% off its list price of $125. When that happened I finally decided to pull the trigger and give it a try. When I got it, i got excited bcos it was ALMOST a good fit. There were two things that prevented it from perfection. First were the outer trim. They obstructed the 1510's lid seal and wouldnt allow it to close at all. The trim would have to go somehow but I didnt want to cut it bcos that would leave a gap around the lid and the lid organizer unless you were using some automated precision cutting tool no matter how careful or true your cut was by hand. Secondly the screw mounts which are part of the 1510"s lid case (pictured) prevented the organizer from sitting flush with the lid. It was only a few millimeters but bcos the organizer was not designed to use or work around those mounting points it was an obstruction. Long story short, i used a drill, a heat gun, a screwdriver and a couple of washers and screws to get it done and make it look flawless. Very pleased with how it turned out and its super secure. Now I have to save up for custom foam inserts!

Great feel. good functionality, pricey but well made. Only thing missing is the extra screws and holes for mounting perm. in the box. I'd prefer to see it shipped with stainless fasteners and be pre-holed for the fasteners. Also needs washers/hardened hole protectors to stop the holes pulling thru. Overall happy

I was skeptical buying this for my Nanuk case, but considering the cost of getting organizers like crdbag and customizing the lid yourself this lid organizer is much cheaper, while also adding a laptop sleeve inside the case. The laptop sleeve can easily fit a 16” MacBook pro M2.

This is great quality and is easy to instal. Highly recommend.
