This item was purchased to fit my Alienware M17x R3 and protect it from the love, or lack of, from aircraft baggage handlers and the harsh environments I fequent in interesting airframes around the world. Well my Alienware certainly fits and then some! So I also have my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones, Alienware mouse, all cables and surgprotector all snugly held in place with the customisable foam, which works a treat once you work it out. Also can slip my iPad in and its cables! Total weight is 11.6 kg fully loaded and the catches on the latches are a nice touch in order to stop accidental opening of the latches. There is also the automatic air pressure relief valve. An excellent buy for the price and looks good to!

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2014

Color: BlackStyle: Cubed FoamPattern Name: Protective CaseVerified Purchase

I purchased one of these back in 2011 when a well-known airline trashed one of my Underwater Kinetics (UK) cases. The airline was very generous, though, and gave me a voucher to replace it with the closest product, since UK no longer makes the model I had. The NANUK 945 was the closest match I could find in both size, construction, weight, and price. The latches have been fantastic for three years of international travel and extended stays overseas in hot, humid climates.

I recently purchased a second one. That should tell prospectivebuyers all they need to know about how sturdy and long-lasting these cases are. My first one survived three years of getting thrown around by baggage handlers and being left atop baggage carts in the blazing sun.

Excellent product.

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2020

Color: GraphiteStyle: Padded Divider W/ Lid OrganizerPattern Name: Protective CaseVerified Purchase

I bought this case to fly with a firearm, where a lockable hard sided case is necessary. I first ordered the 935 which has wheels but after receiving and opening I was surprised the inside of the 935 is TINY. Yes, specs are obviously in the product descriptions I just assumed since the 935 is carry on size it would have comparable interior space to my other carry on bags, it does not. Since you obviously can't carry on a firearm, and I have other carry on bags with significantly greater interior space, I decided I would realistically never use the 935 as a carry on and as a result being within carryon specs was not an advantage to me, so I returned and replaced it with this larger case.

After returning the 935 I debated between the 940 and 945 and ended up with the 945 partly because the price on amazon at the time including the padded divider and lid organizer was pretty attractive, I felt like get the bigger one if the price is similar. This is a great sized case, enough space to keep all my gear organized and the lid organizer with see through compartment helps a lot for smaller items. I ended up replacing my regular range bag for this, it's a little bigger than necessary but to open a case and have everything organized and easy to see is great. The padded dividers are also great, note Nanuk recently upgraded their padded divider - the new version is light gray. The 935 that I returned came with the older style black padded dividers (even though pics showed light gray), and the newer light gray style are significantly more robust - thicker, more rigid, more padded.

I would definitely recommend getting the Nanuk carry strap - loaded up this thing gets pretty heavy. Wheels would be nice (the 935 has wheels) but wheels also add size and weight to the case and since this is checked size only you won't be carrying around the entire airport with it.

The latches get a lot of talk on these cases, a lot of people like these latches better than the pelican style latches - these are great latches.

For some reason, this has smaller padlock holes than the 935. I was aware of this before ordering so wasn't a surprise, and they are large enough to fit cheap travel locks, but the larger steel lined padlock holes of the 935 would have been nice. That's really my only knock on this case. 5 stars.

Case rocks, but latches are plastic and CUBED FOAM SUCKS!

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2014

Color: YellowStyle: Cubed FoamPattern Name: Protective CaseVerified Purchase

I like this case a lot, but the cubed foam is just absolutely horrible. I have experience cutting regular (non-cubed) foam inserts for a variety of weird shapes (using an electric turkey knife works the best) but cutting this poorly-separated cubed crap was a frustrating exercise and my project did not come out NEARLY as nice as it would have been had I gotten regular foam for this case. GET THE REGULAR FOAM!

Also, Nanuk's claim of "all stainless steel hardware" really seems like empty posturing because, other than the 2 small metal rods on the hinge, there doesn't appear to be a single piece of stainless steel hardware on this case. The latches are 100% synthetic resin, though they seem to latch securely with their special release mechanism. Overall I'm pleased with this case for my application...

Another fantastic waterproof hard case. I bought the Nanuk 945 Waterproof Hard Case to protect my Crane 3 Lab gimbal. I use the gimbal for real estate videography, and wanted to make certain I could transport the gimbal in all weather conditions. Since I operate in south Florida, rain is a constant issue. The Nanuk 945 is the best solution to protect my gimbal. If there were a 10 star rating I would want to give the Nanuk 945 20 stars! I also have a Nanuk 950 for my camera gear. Nanuk hard cases are outstanding, and I highly recommend them!

About the foam, not sure what everyone else’s issue is but this was probably some of the easiest pluck foam I have used. Not sure if this is a lack of experience issue for the other folks, but the foam is just fine. I use a grape fruit knife too get the top part loose then just reach in and grab the rest out.

Reviewed in Canada on September 30, 2015

Color: BlackStyle: Cubed FoamPattern Name: Protective CaseVerified Purchase

The picture of this case on Amazon doesn't do it justice. The fit and finish of this case is amazing and it looks much cooler in person than I expected. This case is definitely overkill for even the largest of notebooks if you are of the mind to use it for that purpose but you will be able to hold tons of stuff in addition to it if you wanted to go that route. If you have a very valuable PC that you travel with through less than ideal conditions then you won't be disappointed. I don't see any way the contents of this case could be damaged by shock, period. You could throw the case into a river and collect it downstream and it would probably be just fine.

The main things I liked about this case are:

1) Made in CANADA! Really happy to see a high quality product like this manufactured right here and am equally happy to support such companies.

2) The latches are easily the best designed latches that I've seen on a hard case so far. Really fast and easy to fasten and unfasten while still leaving next to no chance that they will unlatch by mistake. Really, I can't stress how much I like the way they designed the latches.

3) The lid has a stay built into it, so when you open it it positively locks open until you definitely want to close it by exerting some pressure. Really good idea.

4) The handle at the top which lets you carry it like a suitcase is very convenient and also has a stay built into it that both keeps it locked down during transport and locked up when you want to move it. Some other designs are spring loaded to keep handles down only through the spring action and are not as convenient to put down and pick up again since the handles will retract as soon as you put the case down. I prefer this method of choosing the position you want and having it stay there.

The only downside is, for the money, it really should come with the shoulder strap as standard but you do need to purchase it separately and IMO is overpriced. I am tempted to knock a star off because of the lack of the shoulder strap which is a natural thing for this shape of case to have and would have put it over the top if they had included it but I suppose nobody else includes it either.

I'll definitely look at other Nanuk products if I have a need in the future, this case is worth your consideration if it's the right size for you.
