I use these to hold my work and transit rfid badges. Both in the same holder on a badge reel, and both scan through the holder right away (I don't have to take them out or face one the right way or anything). That's all I was looking for, so these are a winner in my book. On top of that, very sturdy construction, they aren't super thin and flimsy or anything. Don't know how much more you can ask for in a badge holder, so that's why I'm giving 5 stars :)

I bought these and although the description says 2 3/8 x 3 3/8 inches, the usable holder area is only about 2.5 x 3.25 inches, which means a standard ID card would be sticking out of the top of this holder by about 1/8th of an inch. The badge stays in the holder under normal wear, but I would have liked the badge to be ENTIRELY in the holder and not sticking out as it is.

Also these are the recessed lip type holder - meaning one side is shorter than the other and the opening is 3/4th of an inch down from the top (similar to the design of the Card Saver, for those of you who collect sports cards), as opposed to the clam shell type - even length on both sides with the opening at the top (the design of a top loader protector, again for those of you that know what they are).

The plastic quality on these is moderate. Not paper thin, but does not feel sturdy either.

My company issued me a RFID door key, which for convenience sake I keep on a spring loaded string off my belt. I broke a key recently and its replacement has no cut out for attaching strings, so I needed a sleeve. The sleeves I found at Staples were much bigger than my card key, so I went to Amazon and found this item. It's only a bit bigger than my card key, so it satisfies my requirements. It seems sturdy enough and has no real downside, no odor or sharp edges. I guess it could have been an eighth of an inch narrower, but that is just a quibble. The RFID works through it, so buy with confidence.

[Update: the holder lasted about 3 months before starting to tear. Lucky, I have 11 more to go.]

Bought these for a company event, we ordered badges separately based on the size advertised for this holder. However the badges stick out a good deal on top, not a perfect fit. It seems they have incorrect specifications here.

This is a decent and sturdy item. I do wish the clip would keep the card from slipping out. A piece of tape holds the card in place, so it is not the end of the world.

I appreciate you asking me for a review. Sadly I cannot offer you one as I never recieved the product. I was billed quite efficiently though.
