Thomann Inlay Sennheiser A1031

I put the Flyht Pro Flex Inlay WP Safe Box 8 into rotation to see how well a configurable fabric insert would improve organisation inside the rugged WP Safe Box system. My goal was a compact, protected layout for chargers, small recorders, mics and cables - something I could reconfigure quickly between gigs and shoots.

First Impressions

The inlay arrived as a neatly finished, soft-lined insert with pre-cut Velcro channels and a tidy set of padded divider pieces. Right away I liked the quality of the fabric lining - it feels soft enough to avoid scratching sensitive gear yet robust enough for regular handling. The included elasticated straps and the variety of divider sizes gave me the sense that this would be genuinely useful rather than a one-size-fits-none accessory.

Design & Features

The Flex Inlay is designed specifically for the Flyht Pro WP Safe Box 8 and is built around removable, Velcro-backed padded dividers. There are 2 large, 6 medium and 3 small divider pieces with approximately 18 mm of padding, which allow me to create compartments for everything from an audio recorder to spare batteries. Three elasticated straps are sewn into the layout for quickly securing bulky items, and the insert is sized to close flush with the foam insert under the WP Safe Box lid so nothing moves around during transit.

Build Quality & Protection

Construction is straightforward and sensible - dense fabric outer, soft inner lining and well-stitched Velcro on the divider edges. I found the padding to be modest but effective for small electronics and accessories; it will not replace thick foam for heavy impact protection, but paired with the WP Safe Box case it offers excellent everyday protection. The insert sits flat and doesn’t bunch up when I close the case, which keeps items from getting crushed by the lid foam.

Comfort & Portability

The insert itself is light and adds negligible weight to the case, so portability of the WP Safe Box 8 is virtually unchanged when the inlay is installed. Reconfiguring compartments takes a few minutes and I was able to do it on the fly between rehearsals without needing extra tools. Because the inlay is fabric-based it compresses slightly under heavier loads - I appreciated that when packing tight spaces, though very heavy or sharp objects still need extra protection.

Storage & Organization

This is where the Flex Inlay really shines - the mix of divider sizes plus elastic straps meant I could build a snug home for a variety of small items and accessories. I set up a row for two small recorders, a compartment for an audio interface, and pockets for cable bundles and power bricks, and everything stayed put when I wheeled the WP Safe Box around. The Velcro system is intuitive, and once I found a layout I liked, it held firmly through multiple trips.

Real-World Experience

I used the inlay across several short tours and a handful of video shoots, swapping configurations between sound and camera setups. It saved me time at load-in - gear was easier to find, and the elastic straps were great for stopping light items from sliding out when I opened the case. Over weeks of use the Velcro kept its grip and the fabric lining resisted scuffs, though I did notice slight compression in divider edges where heavier adapters sat for prolonged periods.

The Trade-Offs

The Flex Inlay is not a hard-shell foam replacement - if you need heavy shock protection for fragile lenses or large microphones you should use dedicated foam inserts or keep delicate items in the original foam cubes. Also, while the 18 mm padding is comfortable for lightweight electronics, it is relatively thin for constant rough handling. Finally, the inlay is purpose-sized for the WP Safe Box 8 - it will be useless in a different case without significant modification.

Final Verdict

For what it is - a flexible, fabric-based organiser for the Flyht Pro WP Safe Box 8 - the Flex Inlay delivers exactly what I wanted: quick configurability, sensible padding and tidy organisation without adding much weight. I recommend it to anyone who already owns the WP Safe Box 8 and needs a fast, low-cost way to organise small kit and accessories, while those after full impact protection should plan to pair it with the WP Safe Box foam or choose a molded foam inlay.
