sx230-0078 by Giles Guthrie, on FlickrLayout  sx230-0074 by Giles Guthrie, on FlickrWill the 70-200 fit on its end?  sx230-0080 by Giles Guthrie, on FlickrLid organiser  sx230-0064 by Giles Guthrie, on FlickrMacBook Pro 15"  sx230-0065 by Giles Guthrie, on FlickrHandle deflection  sx230-0072 by Giles Guthrie, on FlickrSo, the important questions then:
The super-observant amongst you will notice that a couple of the lenses in the photo are not the labelled items. But they're close enough, and I have checked that the labelled items fit in those slots without issue. Doubtless I could get more in here, but I don't really want to push it too hard. I'm slightly disappointed that the MacBook PSU has to go in the main body of the case, rather than in the lid. Frankly, the lid organiser isn't that impressive, apart from having the belted pouch for the laptop. Hope that's helpful to at least someone! Blipfoto

Is there some mechanism that keeps it in place normally? Mine is unsecured and keeps falling down out of the lid. I've been considering the best way to secure it... Excellent question, I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy ! François

Does anyone have a solution ? Double-faced tape ? Screws ? It should be a snug fit in the top and not secured. For what it is worth though, I would pay the $$ and get the lid organizer. It was $20 plus shipping from Adorama for my 1510 but it was worth every penny. If you need some protection for your lenses after you get the organizer, just go to the local craft store and get some 1/2" foam and cut it to fit your needs. For me I'd only need it for the two wihte lenses I have that have exposed paint. if the lenses are on end then I see no need as anything to rub on them would be rubbing against a plastic cap.

Have you tried to call Pelican? They may be able to get you a more snug fitting piece of foam. Considering the cost of the cases with or without dividers the least they could do is make sure you got good foam.

hammer418 Goldmember  More info | Mar 11, 2013 12:41 | #880 I used two strips of double-sided foam tape (it's thicker than regular double-sided) to secure my lid-foam. Just cut a couple of pieces that are about 1" wide by 3" long, space them on either side (in the middle), and whalah ..... problem solved ! Strangers are just friends that you've never met ....

1 by Chickennakatsu, on FlickrAnd here's my Pelican 1510 which I've had about a year. I love the quality of Pelican cases, but was a little disappointed with the lid organizer. The zippers are not very sturdy, and I immediately broke the one on the right. Instead of returning, I decided to cut out that pocket and line the area with velcro. It's actually really handy and I kinda prefer it.
