That's just custom cut foam, you may be able to call Peli and see if they sell solid foam. If not, google, order a foam you like, freeze, cut.

I have seven Pelican cases which I have had for years.
I learned a long time ago to forget the foam and go
with the dividers. Yes they are expensive but worth t.

Just an update... I still haven't cut the foam pieces! Talk about indecision!

Padded dividers are not cheap, however
they are the way to go.

Bought my dividers from opticsplanet.com - $115.99 shipped

Do you want the last Lid Organizer I have? $15 and it's yours???

I got the dividers for Christmas. I'm not really that impressed. It's probably better than the foam but I still haven't figured out what to put in the dividers or how to organize it. The case is definitely going to be solely a mobile "studio" case.

I have a similar case (that I received with NO foam) that i'm wanting to put my studio strobes and vagabond into...I like that CAD Cases solution, just not sure I want to spend $250 for custom foam...
