Pelican/Storm Case Foam!

[BrendanLeahy]

I purchased the Storm iM2500 case (almost identical to the Pelican 1510), and have to say that pluck-n-pull foam sucks.

Has anyone found other foam to throw into the case that will work just as well? If so, have a link?

Thanks!!

Not quite foam, but this stuff is awesome. Using it on a couple of cases already and plan on adding more. Great product.

That looks awesome - do you find your gear shifts around much, though? I like to keep my Scarlet more or less prepped with the side handle and plates on already which, of course, gives it kind of a funny shape to try and stick in blocked off sections like the TrekPak shows.

Not at all. Everything is very tight and secure (that's how I pack in mind). It's not as padded as foam would be because the material is more rigid, but it's perfect for carrying. I wouldn't trust some components to shipping like this -- but personal hauling it's great.

I always found the Pelican dividers very flimsy. This option looks great and I just ordered the inserts for my 1610. They look nice and firm. As you said, really good for personal transportation.

The PortaBrace dividers are much better.

What kind of solid foam is used in the RED pelican case?
