1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't fulfill its purpose, September 10, 2009

This review is from: Blomus Deluxe Stainless Steel Business Card Holder (Kitchen)

I read reviews on this item before purchasing it but didn't quite understand. The metal is solid-check. It holds lots of cards - check. Heavy, feels good in your hands - check. Looks good and makes a good impression - check. Stays shut and protects your business cards - NO. The problem isn't a defective unit. The problem is the design.

I expected that the lid work something like a zippo lighter. After all, the similarities in appearance are too many to discuss. The lid instead, is held "closed" through friction. If you look very carefully at the picture on Amazon, you'll see to the side opposite the hing a metal tooth coming out of the case. That tooth is ever so slightly angled so that the lid fits over it and then pulls against it. One might think of it as a sort of doorstop? Anyways, initially, the lid stays closed. However, the design always assumed that the solid hinge show absolutely no wear at all. In less than a month, the lid began to open. I'm not sure if the metal tooth became ever so slightly bent or if the hinge lost some shape.

It didn't bother me too much, as the cards within would "catch" the lid, so the cards have never spilled out. However, what does happen is that the corners of my business cards become dented.

The purpose of this product is first and foremost to protect business cards. It does not fulfill this purpose. If you don't need a business card holder, but, need something shiny and heavy to carry around in your pocket, then this item is perfect!

4.0 out of 5 stars ZERO problems functionally, but FINGERPRINTS yes!, July 13, 2011

Length:: 2:15 Mins

I've been using this for a couple of weeks and have had ZERO problems with the functionality of it as a business card holder. The hinge has not had any problems and the lip that catches the lid works just fine in holding it shut. I've also not had any problems with my business cards bending at the corners inside the case. It looks professional and is definitely unique. It's nice to pull out in front of clients or friends and does get many compliments.

The problem that I've had with the case are just the amount of fingerprints that stick to it with just one handling. You'll either have to just accept that fingerprints are a part of using this case or be using your shirt or a sunglasses cleaning cloth to clean the prints off after so much usage. To me it's honestly NOT that big of a deal because if you handle it, just like a touchscreen phone, of course it's going to get fingerprints on it. If you can't stand the thought of fingerprints then search on, at least you know what you're getting.

As for problems with any hinge and lip, mine have been sturdy from the get go. If the lip should ever not hold the cover I could probably just use some small needle nose pliers and bend it outward again so it would still catch the cover and hold it down.

4 stars. Would have been 5 without the fingerprint issue.

2.0 out of 5 stars Really big and awkward, May 4, 2009

This review is from: Blomus Deluxe Stainless Steel Business Card Holder (Kitchen)

I was looking for this since I read the reviews. But it is bigger than your business cards and the hinge makes it difficult to close with ease. IT is very heavy, and I cant use it for my cards. Im disappointed..
