Pelican 1659 Lid Organizer

Perfect fit for my Pelican 1650. When mounting with the screws provided, secure the two center screws first and then screw down the corners in an 'x' pattern . . . it will be a tight fit and you'll find you may need to angle the screw to get it lined up and started, but it will pull straight and sit perfectly. I really like the options the organizer offers and find the pockets perfectly sized for videography / photography accessories. Well made, appears as though it will last as long as the case.

It's holds things. You don't really realize you need it till you have it. Then you need lens wipes and you know exactly where they are. L-wrenches? There. Extra HDMI or SDI cords? There. Color chart? There. A worthy accessory to a powerhouse of a case. Insurance, there. The zippers were great for holding things. Good help is hard to find. This is good help.

Awesome addition to my 1650. One word of advice though. When you attach it, use fender washers in between the screws and the organizer. They're the type of washers that are super wide and distribute the load on a larger surface area. One of my screws pulled through the material and the addition of the washers pretty much prevents that from ever happening again.

I'm pretty impressed with this lid organizer, but it did fall a little short of what I was looking for. Pros: - It's built like a tank! The rigid back piece is a 3/32" or 1/8" plastic, and holds its shape very well. - All stitching is reinforced, and done with reasonably thick filament. - The zippers are also sturdy and smooth. - It attaches to the lid with six screws. Coupled with the rigid back piece, the assembly is very sturdy. (It also comes with hook and loop, but I opted for the sturdier option.) Cons: - The pockets are not as deep as I would have liked. Cables like 6' VGA or power cords have to be tightly wrapped to have any chance of fitting. - The pocket layout is a little odd. It seemed like each pocket was either too large or too small, but that may be from the things I am storing in it (I use it to carry a large projector). - The document pocket in the middle and pockets attached (the non-mesh ones) are pretty worthless. There is no way to close or secure them, so things will fall out unless they fit in tightly. If you look at the picture in the description, the items shown would fall out after a short ride. Overall, I am still very pleased and will happily use it for years to come. I took one star from the review simply because of the pocket depth and document pocket comments above. If you are thinking about getting this, I would definitely say it is worth it.

Another reviewer got me started in the right direction for installation (with screws), and here is a more detailed procedure that will help you get it right the first time: 1) be sure that you have the predrilled holes available 2) draw on a piece of paper a large capital "H" and rotate it sideways to represent the four corners and two center screwholes of your organizer 3) at the crossbar connecting the two sides of the H (the middle of your organizer), insert a screw into the edge closest to the 1650 hinge (this will allow you to start with some visual clues) 4) install the screw, but do NOT tighten it yet 5) on the other end of the H crossbar, install that screw 5) install the screws at the outside ends of the H (these are the four corners of the organizer) 6) be sure everything is aligned properly by sliding the organizer around (this is why you didn't tighten the screws) 7) tighten, but do NOT overtighten, the screws 8) fill your organizer and relax--you're done.

I picked this to go with two Pelican 1650 cases to be used for emergency preparedness. Organizers fit perfectly in the cases with a combination of perfectly aligned screws and adhesive tape strips and velcro. Zippers and material are great quality.

My 1650 has 6 built in under-lid mounting points that space the organizer about 1/3 inch from the lid; screws were included. I'm not sure how the two sided tape works unless these mounting points are missing or removed. It was easy to install and I'm happy with the product so far.

I put this on the inside of my pelican 1660. It didn’t line up on the holes but that was as to be expected because it is for the 1650 series. The material and zippers are very cheap and the adhesive tape is lackluster. For $60 I would expect a little higher quality. On the upside, it does it’s job and has a good variety of pouches. Lots of room for activities. Overall, it’s an okay product but I wish there was more competition at this price level.

Quedo a la medida, es de buen material, traia tornillos para colocarlo, llevo 2 meses con el usando par mis giras y estoy super contento con el.

Please with the quality of it. Solid backing so it doesn't flop around, pouches are decently sized and make for easy organization of items. It fits my ICB (1670) with some slide modifications, had to cut a few holes to allow for use of the screws. Zippers seem a little flimsy but time will tell.

Genial calza perfecto

Honestly thought this was going to be super light and thin, but it’s actually pretty good material. The zippers are smooth for basic zippers. The mesh is stretchy but tight so it doesn’t sag. And the stitching seems to be okay, worst case cuz super glue the stitching seems, stitch it again, or staple the main spots lol. All in all an absolute steal. And I’ve had for about 2 months now and it’s held up great no signs of breaking. Also it comes with screws to screw it right into pre made screw holes on a Pelican 1650 which is super nice, and has double sided 3M tape on it too!

Simple y facil de montar... Buena opcion de organizador de tapa para las maletas Pelican , si no necesitas la proteccion de espuma superior esta Ok. Queda espacio entre el interior de la tapa y el espacio maximo del borde, por eso si ocupas que lo que transportes este "apretado" no te conviene... En mi caso llevo aparatos en cases pequeños y empaques originales...
