2.0 out of 5 stars Item shipped is NOT the item pictured., January 13, 2009

The item shipped is NOT the same as the item pictured (which may be for a different case than the 1510?). The item you will receive if you order this product has only 5 large zippered net pockets - each of which is very large and can easily hold a standard sized flash or two. There are no pockets for cell phones, pens or folders as in the ad photo. The organizer is still useful, but not as nice/usable as what Amazon is incorrectly representing in the photograph. I would prefer the smaller, flatter, more compartmentalized pockets for camera batteries, filters and the like.

The product is attached via screwing 6 screws into the 1510 lid, and you would need to drill pilot holes and tear netting with a screwdriver to attach it the way it's designed (plus I would advise buying some metal washers, not included, so the plastic back doesn't tear). I instead purchased Velcro fasteners from Wal-Mart for $2 and used them for attachment. Easier, just as effective and non-destructive.

I'm keeping the dimpled foam for the lid and using it in front of the pockets. It won't "stick" inside the lid anymore with he organizer attached, but will still provide protection to expensive camera gear from contact with the pocketed items like batteries.

I rate this a 2 due to my disappointment over the item's misrepresentation and design flaws. I kept it despite my disappointment as it will still allow storage of small items in the over-sized pockets.

4.0 out of 5 stars A challenge to install, but worth the effort, May 2, 2008

My collection of photography equipment has been growing exponentially and I needed a secure kit to put it all in, so I bought the Pelican 1510. The lid organizer is a great idea to contain all the bits and pieces that normally get tossed into corners and then fly around in the case.

I'm not sure why the previous reviewer felt his lenses were insecure after removing the foam in the lid. I always make the foam compartments in the lower part of the case a bit smaller than the article I'm putting in, and they get held snugly that way.

My only complaint -- and the reason I gave the organizer 4 stars instead of 5 -- was the difficulty I had installing the organizer. Although Pelican claims to have drilled starter holes in the lid for the small screws (provided) to engage, I found the starter holes shallow and very, very small, too small for even the tip of the screw to catch. I wound up having to take a carpet tack and a hammer to make the top of the starter holes big enough. I wasn't anticipating a construction project when I bought the organizer, and it turned into a bit of one.

Otherwise I'm loving both the 1510 and its organizer!

I definitely needed something for my new Pelican 1510 case to hold the small items. The lid organizer will certainly do that for me. When it arrived I was a little surprised that is wasn't more "substantial." It seemed a little cheaply made for the price. The instructions said it came with both screws and straps, but there were no straps included. Putting the screws into the lid of the case was easy except that It was a challenge to work through the mesh, through the pocket hole to put in the screw. In one case, I had to screw a corner of the meshing to the case because I couldn't maneuver the screwdriver and screw to do it right. All in all, I am still very happy with the lid organizer.
