1.0 out of 5 stars Cheap and scratches easily May 11, 2011

By Jessica Farrone

Style Name:Pixie Sticks Design|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was disappointed when I received this. It was not packaged very well and the front had scratches and scrapes on it. Although this is not the fault of the product, I was disappointed that it could be so easily scratched. It is constructed entirely if thin plastic, which makes it very lightweight, but also very "cheap" looking. In my opinion, it is grossly overpriced and should cost half of what does. I returned mine due to the scratches but would have probably returned it anyway. I was looking for something cute, portable and durable. This only meets 2 out of 3 criteria and is too expensive for what you get.

3.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of Slots - The clasp hurts to open! January 11, 2012

By raiinzen

I wanted an Accordion Folder that had a lot of pockets in it. This one definitely has enough pockets to meet my needs; however, they are not really pockets as the bottoms of each "pocket" are not sealed, so things like receipts and other small papers will slip out of that pocket easily. I've had to add envelopes to hold receipts.
Also, in order to open the folder, you need to squeeze the clasp just right or it will be nearly impossible to open. The first few times I tried to open it I struggled with it for a good five minutes. The clasp would not be ideal for anyone with any kind of arthritis or other joint problems. I will probably leave mine unclasped while its sitting on my shelf.
Overall, I'm giving it three stars because my biggest wish was to have more pockets than the average folder, and this one meets that need for me. Otherwise I would probably have given it two stars for the open bottomed pockets and the terrible clasp.

I bought these to store pictures (can hold 8x10 and smaller)- to keep them organized. It has so much space and is well constructed. I bought a second shortly after I got the first.

This is an extremely durable product. The pockets inside are perfect for all my needs; whether file folders, newspaper ads, keeping track of all my rebates, it's perfect! It wipes up easily for cleaning and is thin enough to store in small places when it's not in use.

Was very impressed with the size and handling of the carrier/divider. The clip is sturdy and doesnt come undone when carrying it around. Successful purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the job April 8, 2012

By Beth

Style Name:Pixie Sticks Design|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was taking a printmaking class needed something to store and carry my plates and printing paper in. I needed a handle and an expandable container. This fit the bill and it was a nice design. I didn't have a problem with the clasp but I am a little disappointed in is that the brown coloring is scratching off. Now, I'm not the most gentle with it but I didn't expect it to be this type of thin color. I would still buy it again for the purpose that I needed it.

After reading reviews on this expanding file, I wasn't so sure I was making the right choice in purchasing it. I read that it was hard to open it. Unless you are a pip-squeek or a kid, you will be able to open the file. The fact that it has a nice sturdy handle makes it really easy to take the exandable file with you on the go and it doesn't scratch as easily as another reviewer said. I guess if you are rough with it and throw it around, of course you are going to get scratches. All in all, a worthwhile product. And it looks cute too!!

I got this for my 10 year old daughter and it has held up perfectly. I've bought similar items in the past for my older daughter and ended up buying at least 3 for the whole year. Not THIS ONE! My 5th grader has had it all year and its still in perfect shape! Plenty of room and fits in a large backpack perfectly.
