Reddit mentions of Cocoon CPG7BK GRID-IT! Accessory Organizer - Small 7.25" x 9.25" (Black)

Thanks! Another user on a different thread pointed out that they sell the vertical organizer separately for use in other bags or backpacks: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00479FQCM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.zUSzb470DXNY

Cocoon Grid-It organizer. It's rather cheap and especially useful if you use different bags like a messenger bag for school and a backpack for a bit longer travels. You can easily attach stuff you need once in a while to the grid and just throw it to another bag.

Currently my grid-it contains a USB-stick, couple cables, one of those Victorinox card multitools, a powerbank and a pen. When I'm traveling overnight I add a toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste. 5/5 would buy again.

Edit: Pilot G-2 pen and Opinel No 08 knife are another fantastic pieces of equipment I carry everyday

Network Engineer with a few random hands-on requirements here and there, mostly rack related and/or mounting a random piece of equipment... I personally just use this; got it on sale for less than half that price on Black Friday, so it was a steal. That said, it definitely suits my tool carrying needs; then I have this in my backpack for network and other random peripherals for my Mac.

I have the exact same CaseLogic bag, but I only carried it for about 6 months. It was super awkward, and if you forget to do up the little Velcro zipper stop tags, the whole front of the bag can come open and dump your stuff all over. I had a rolling bag for a bit, but it annoyed me, since I travel a lot of non-paved or cobblestone places, and I felt like it was bouncing things around.

My hubs finally convinced me to invest a little (less than $100 on sale) in an Epiphanie bag, which doesn't look like a camera bag at all, gets no second glances when I travel, and works as a functional carrying piece when I don't have my cameras. That, in conjunction with one of these, has done a lot to focus my gear list and travel style.

To note, I've been trying to streamline the amount of stuff I carry when I travel, and only bust out the big cargo stuff when I do stationary shoots. I find that carrying a bunch of stuff distracts from my enjoyment, as I spend more time worrying about the right equipment than just simply framing and shooting. It helps that some of the best shots I have are on my phone, from when I didn't have my gear at all. :)

Have you seen a Grid It Organizer ?

Did 5 weeks last year with the Farpoint 40 because I was looking to avoid all issues with my luggage.

Carry right on flights, wear it around for hours if needed, climbing stone steps without dragging traditional luggage, keep my hands free, etc.

Worked perfect if you're going for minimal packing and maximum activity potential.

As far as what to pack, I kept my electronics/cables/GoPro set-up organized with a GridIt, and otherwise just packed like 6-7 underwear, 6-7 socks, 4-5 shirts, 1 nice shirt, 1 sweater (for Switzerland), jeans, and shorts. Easy.

Also brought a daypack. Tiny backpack to keep water, sunscreen, etc. in for hikes and longer days out.

Get This to Organize stuff in your bag

Thanks for the Contest.

If you're male and looking for a bag that isn't a backpack, making you look like a child, and isn't a purse that is feminine. Then I suggest the Frost River Field Satchel, the small one is big enough. I carry all my stuff in there every where I go.

I combine it with the Cacoon Grid-it Small Organizer which fits perfectly inside.

I've heard decent things about these pouches from Condor, relatively inexpensive

Personally I got a cocoon Grid-it organizer panel about a month ago, https://www.amazon.ca/Cocoon-GRID-Organizer-Black-CPG7BK/dp/B00479FQCM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541651757&sr=8-1&keywords=grid-it
fits pretty well in my edc/school backpack. I keep my pencil case, headphones, calculator, the plug for my phone charger, a small calendar, and one or two other small things on the front occupying less than half the space. The back just has a zippered pocket where I keep some misc papers, a formula sheet and ruler in. It sits in my bag in front of my laptop, my notebook, and a thin text book, but behind my laptop charger, and few first aid things and my waterbottle. It really has made my backpack organization more efficient.

Happy Zambambo!

This organizer would help a ton.

I hope you have a great day!!

This is what I end up getting, its a bit bulky but definitely good quality. Perfectly fits my blade & charger, deathader mouse, mouse pad and a GRID-IT. Also has a molle system for pouches if you'd like.

Thank you. I really like the second. Though it does look more like a gym bag than a work bag. Could work though.

I like the simplicity of Le Pilage but I am avoiding having multiple smaller bags to keep things organized.

FYI, I use GridIt Organizer to keep laptop cables, headphones and my phone organized in my current work tote.

This is awesome! The following things would be great:

• Probably the most important school suppy, coffee
  
  
• And also this AMAZING organizational tool would be drooltastic to organize my calculators for physics, pens, pencils, post its, charging cords, really whatever!
  
  Back to cool.!

Also, check out something like this organizer if you go with something that is just a single large compartment.

I keep trying to post this through mobile, so, sorry if there are tons of duplicates.

Have you considered getting a Grid-It organiser to organise things like chargers and headphones? What about something like a nice leather roll-up pencil holder to store all his pens and pencils?

I got lucky and found the Grey one used for 8 bucks. The black, pink, and white and the cheapest right now

If you have a Goodwill nearby, you should definitely check it out for purses. You'd be surprised by the gems you can find there!

As for saving space in your purse, you should get a Grid-it. Extra pockets in purses (that you may not even use!) usually just add extra bulk. You can really make the most out of your purses with these organizers. You can probably make one yourself if you're strapped for cash.

Edit: This is an absolute lifesaver. Comes with a pen, scissors, tweezers, toothpick, screw drivers, nail file, flash light, magnifying glass, and a ruler, and it all fits in your wallet! Got mine at TjMaxx a few years ago and I've been carrying it around with me ever since.
