Greater than one weekI am a SU demonstrator. I purchase many die cuts that would have otherwise gotten lost if it werent for this item. It has a sturdy case and can hold many magnetic sheets, which in turn holds many sets of Thinlets. Love this item!

> 3 dayBefore I found this item I was using magnetic sheets (the kind with adhesive backing and comes on a roll) cut to size to fit into a large ArtBin box. When I saw this item I thought it would make the process of holding and carrying dies easier. But I was completely wrong. I didnt read the dimensions or the reviews-my mistake. It is way too small for any decent amount of storage. The box is small, the magnetic sheets insides are small. The sheets are not magnetic enough and are flimsy. They dont hold the dies very well. The magnetic adhesive sheets I bought hold very well. These suck. I can not fit many dies on one sheet. I have collected a good amount of dies, so I would need to buy a lot of extra sheets. Not happy but not worth the price to return. I am going to stick with my first method or steal an idea from another user where she adheres the adhesive magnetic sheets to card stock, hole pouches them and puts them binders.

> 3 dayUPDATED 6/8/21 After years Ive completely stopped using this system of organizing dies for several reasons 1) Wasted space. The magnetic sheets are not completely rectangular as the box dips in where the handle is. 2) Magnetic sheets are not very magnetic and both large and small dies fall off. This obviously is a bad thing if you have a set of dies that need to stay together. 3) The magnetic sheets curve so large dies dont stick completely at all points. The case also doesnt allow very large dies. 4) If you have a lot of dies its a pain to carefully remove one sheet at a time to get to the dies you need. 5) Unless you have an inventory of the dies in a box its difficult to guess what is where because you cant see at a glance whats in the container. I have over a thousand of dies and 7 cases so using this system is tedious (yes, I need to destash because Ive run out of space). Ive found that Ive forgotten which dies I have because theyre not easy to see. 6) The cases are unbelievably heavy with even 15 sheets a piece 7) The price of this product has quadrupled as it became more popular. I invested when prices were lower but refill magnetic sheets are very expensive. 8) Storage is an issue because of the weight. 9) Its much easier to use a magnetic sheet in a sturdy plastic sleeve that can be labeled and will safely keep dies in a set. This vertical system kept in sturdy, open-top metal cases allows one to flip easily through dies to find a particular one. Ive switched to this type of system because my die collection can be easily categorized and organized. This system also allows matching stamp sets to be kept with the matching dies. 10) If you just have a few dies you may be happy with the case. If you have a big collection of dies, keep looking. Its too much work. OLD REVIEW Love this case and wish I had purchased it much sooner. I purchased 6 more packs of the magnetic sheets as they were on sale along with the case. I have a few hundred thin dies and now have them organized by theme. It makes it so much easier to find the exact die I need. I purchased two more cases because the current case that holds 21 magnetic sheets is much too heavy. I probably wont have more than 15 sheets per case.
