A big selling point for the Grid-It is that it’s completely customizable. There are hundreds of ways to fit all your items in this thing. The only downside is that you have to find the best way for you. If you’re utilizing all the space, then you could end up spending a fair amount of time trying to figure it all out. The Grid-It doesn’t need to be completely full though, depending on specific needs we find ourselves sometimes just using it with a few items. The configurations are truly endless, giving you the freedom to use it how you want. Size One downside of the Grid-It is that it provides no protection, your gadgets are not entirely encased, just secured with rubberized bands. This means you have to go out of your way to protect it. If you’re keeping it in your bag, for example, make sure that bag is padded enough. This is something we thought would be a bigger issue, but as long as you take care of it and know what to expect you’ll be okay—if you have an important hard drive secured in it, treat it like you have an important hard drive secured in it. We’ve never had anything fall out of the Grid-It, and if you make sure the item is secured properly, you shouldn’t either. Over the three years of testing this product we’ve become really trusting in just how good the Grid-It technology is. That being said though we are careful with how we use it. It’s very rarely in the main compartment of a bag, where individual gadgets could snag on items and loosen. We primarily keep the Grid-It in either a slim secondary bag compartment or with the laptop if the bag has a laptop compartment.
