I cant believe how amazing this case is. SO glad I didn't go with a pelican. My only wish is that solid foam was available for all cases- mine has only pinch foam and my items are not square. I got the strap for it too. So cool.

Fit like a sturdy glove

I've been looking for the perfect size protective case for my 300blk pistol with a law folder, and this was in the Goldie-lox zone: durable, light, fair price, and the perfect size for rifle, suppressor and a couple of mags. Only gripe is a small one: Unlike most, I prefer solid foam to the pick and pluck as I find it to be a tighter and longer lasting solution. All in all, I'm super happy with my purchase and highly recommend!

Great case for pedalboard

I bought this as a case for my guitar effects pedalboard. The fit is good for a Temple Audio DUO 24 board and feels very secure. I bought this instead of the branded flight case which is around the same price but isn't as nice or has as many features. The only thing I don't really like is how stiff the lid is. I have to hold down the bottom and expend some effort to get the case open.

Nanuk 980

Looked forever for an affordable gun case for my breakdown shotgun that was affordable. The case is as they say INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!!! A couple of padlocks latter I was hunting in Georgia. Highly recommend their products.

MORCASE!

The case was a gift, however once it showed up, I immediately had second thoughts of keeping the case for myself.

Impeccable product

By Andreas K.

As expected, perfect in every way. Absolutely recommend.

The NANUK 980 is a mid-size, long case that's versatile enough to protect not-so-long gear, lots of smaller gear, or both.
Not as lengthy as Nanuk's Long Cases, but twice as long as some their Medium Cases, it's built to protect valuable equipment in tough conditions.

The NANUK 980 is designed with deeper ribs that give it better stability for stacking, storage, transport and quick access. At the same time, it's just the right size and light enough for personal carry.

Like all NANUK waterproof protective cases, the 980 is made of crushproof NK-7 resin certified to withstand extreme impact and continuous vibration - in other words, it's indestructible. It's also equipped with an oversized spring-loaded carry handle as well as four (4) of legendary Power Claw latches and will never open accidentally.

The 980 comes with lifetime warranty, your assurance that Nanuk build cases to protect your most valuable gear for life.
Compatible accessories include TSA Approved Latches as a retrofit kit, TSA Approved locks, Panel Installation Kit, Cubed Foam, Padded Dividers, Lid Organizer and Shoulder Strap.

Features

Automatic Pressure Release Valve
Keep your case from sealing shut. Automatically.
Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a "vacuum lock" which can effectively seal a case shut. NANUK's integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the-art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering.

Design & Colors
Stand out with a unique design and color selection.
Rounded corners and chamfered edges merge with strong character lines to deliver a design that is as sleek and modern as it is tough and reliable. Be it for aesthetic preference or more practical purposes, color choice is an important feature for many NANUK users - choose from up to nine colors depending on the case.

Indestructible & Lightweight NK-7 Resin
Get High-Impact Protection with a fraction of the weight.
Impact-resistant, lightweight, and armed with an NK-7 resin body, this NANUK case is designed with rounded corners, thick, strong walls, and oversized details. No matter what nature throws its way, NANUK is built to survive. This NANUK is shock-absorbent to prevent damage to the case and, more importantly, to the valuable contents.

IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof
Go where no case has gone before.
NANUK protective cases were primarily designed for front line protection, search and rescue missions, first responders, military, industrial, marine and diving uses. The professionals that rely on NANUK cases require a reliable, waterproof solution which resists deformation and fatigue. NANUK ensures a long-lasting, watertight seal - nothing gets in - nothing!

PowerClaw Superior Latching System
Close with confidence. Open with ease.
Ensuring that your smaller gear stays well protected from the elements, this NANUK case's patented PowerClaw latching system uses compressive force and triple action to clamp your case tight. Integrated slide locks offer added security, preventing your case from opening during transport or if it's dropped. The super tough nylon construction and stainless-steel hardware ensure that your important items stay safe in your NANUK waterproof case no matter where your journey takes you.

Lid Stay & Reinforced Metal Padlock Holes
Keep the case from closing on your hands plus some added security

NANUK comes loaded with innovative features. All models have integrated lid stays molded into the hinge that keeps the case lid open when you need it to stay open which means no more pinched fingers. Available on this NANUK case is reinforced metal padlock holes that let you lock down your gear so you can carry and protect your valuables with confidence.
