Product Description

Welcome to Aperture Science's Library! There are a lot of manuals for employees of Aperture Laboratories. But you don't necessarily have to read them. Being honest here. We used to hire smarter folks, but our death turnover rate is so high that we've had to lower our standards to the less-than-literate. But here's your Employee Manual and the various books on radiation poisoning that the government requires us to give all new hires. But really, don't bother reading them. It's not necessary to do your job. Just follow Cave Johnson's voice and you'll be fine, okay? Take these bookends, they'll hold the books up. Why yes, they do look exactly like a test subject going through a portal on one side and out the portal on the other. Pretty clever, isn't it? Now let's get you off to your first testing assignment - I hear you're in the control group. Product Specifications Bookends for test subjects at Aperture Science Left side features half of a test subject going through an orange portal Right side features the other half of the test subject coming out the blue portal Officially licensed Portal collectible Made of shiny & durable aluminum, non-slip rubber padding on bottom Dimensions: 4" x 5" x 2.25" each

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Geek Appeal, Lightweight Construction December 10, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Found these on Amazon by a random search and quickly purchased them for a Portal-loving boyfriend who was delighted to receive them. I'll go through with a numbered review to divide information for you!

INITIAL REACTION:
5 stars! "Oh my god! Where did you find these?! They're amazing!"

DESIGN:
5 stars! Unmistakably a piece of "Portal" memorabilia. Great concept, good choice of color. These pieces look great just sitting out, acting like bookends on any geek's shelf.

CONSTRUCTION:
2 stars. They hold books just like they should...but their construction is not quite as durable as I expected. The thinner metal won't hold anything more than stacks of paperbacks. If you're planning on using them with heavier books, choose something else...or you'll need to double up with a pair of flat metal bookends (like the type you can purchase from WalMart or Staples). Otherwise, these pieces tend to warp and bend.

VALUE:
3.5 stars. Because of their slightly flimsy construction, I don't feel that they were worth $26.00. I would have paid up to $20 for them, mostly for the design.

Hope this review helps you make a more informed decision!

5.0 out of 5 stars Portal Bookends August 17, 2012

I bought these for my son, who is 25 and a gamer. He doesn't usually buy products or gimmicky items relating to games, however, and so I wasn't sure about these. When I showed him the picture online he spent a minute looking at them and pronounced them "cool" and said that would be nice to have. That is high praise. So I ordered them for Christmas and they look great. Definitely a novelty item, they were nevertheless securely packaged and strong enough to actually hold up books. Nice quality. Highly recommended.
