In attempts to get better organized at work and at home, I've switched over from paper based folder jackets to clear plastic type. I've really liked the Office Depot "Poly Project View Folers (Item 741-341)", but came across the Pandaflex jackets and thought........what a deal! Wrong, these are about half as thick as the Office Depot and not very useful. Go ahead and spend the money for much better Office Depot or similar product. They are much more durable!

These "File Jackets" are very thin and flimsy.

They are not strong or sturdy like other plastic folders. If you put papers in them and toss in your bag, the "jacket" and your papers are likely to get bent.

Great protector to *separate* Important papers be able to see what with out opening & keep clean and tidy.

I order several boxes of these every few months. It's certainly true what other customers have said about them being thin. But I'd disagree with the "flimsy". Flimsy to me means shoddy construction, and these work just fine and will not tear or separate easily. If you're looking for something thick and sturdy, then this isn't the product for you, but if you just need something to hold a stack of papers separate, then these are a brilliant solution. I looked in several major office supply retail stores and couldn't find a clear poly folder solution that came anywhere near to this product in value. I think the negative reviews are unfair in that they are rooted in the fact that the customers were looking for something else entirely and basing their review off that. As a transparent file jacket (albeit a thin one), it fit the bill and does the job. I even bought the thicker version of this same product and rejected it as I preferred the thin jacket.
