 Lid would not snap down Jul 28, 2011
By N. J. Simicich
"Gadget Geek"
Ridgid R82235 12V Cordless JobMax Oscillating Multi-Tool Starter KitI was building a sous vide controller, and I wanted to put my components in something. Other people had used this plastic box as a project box, so I decided to, as well.
It arrives without a coating, and the plastic is so thin it is hard to cut. I tried to decide on a scheme - hot exacto knives? I finally went out and bought a tool to cut it, a gadget that had a vibrating saw - I bought one from Ridgid,Ridgid R82235 12V Cordless JobMax Oscillating Multi-Tool Starter Kit but Bosch and Dremel have the equivalent. I went with the Ridgid because it came with adapters to use the other companies tools, and, in fact, I used the dremel tool because I liked it better. A hundred dollar tool to cut a $5 box, sigh. The problem was that the lid didn't fit - and it never fit, from even before I started cutting it..
If I were planning on using it as a display case or a storage case, I would have returned it. This is the sort of thing that wouldn't bother you in a store. You'd pick the cases over, and you'd look for the ones where the lids fit well, and you'd take those with you, putting the others on the shelf.
But you can't do that when you mail order, you expect someone else to pick the item over for you.
I cut a little out of the rim of the case (always in my plan) and that allowed me to deform the lid enough that I could force it on - it wanted to pop off, but I taped it down (something else that was in my plan) and it stayed down. So it gets a three star review from me, even though I was not using it as a storage container because a storage container that has a lid that won't fit does not cut it.
If you are going to use it as a project box, and you are OK with taping the lid down, it will work OK.
I got another one of these from a different vendor and the lid on that one fit fine, but I believe that to be random.

 Make great DIY vivariums for small arachnids! Feb 09, 2011
By Sugar Glider Sioux
I bought these for my baby tarantulas--a few holes with a sautering iron, a quick wash and some substrate and voila! Perfect housing for tiny tarantulas. I know that's not what they were intended for but they certainly do the job well. They're nicely built containers and would make nice display cases for small collectibles too.

Clear Acrylic Containers Jul 04, 2010
By Elizabeth
These were a bit larger than I had expected - but are sturdy and work well for clear storage without the worry of glass-breakage.

 Minor Scuffs on Lid but not a Deal Breaker Jun 12, 2011
By Johnal
I purchased two of these cases to use as enclosures for a couple praying mantises I'm raising. Although glass would have had better long-term clarity, these were the exact size enclosures I had been looking for and were at a reasonable price. Clarity through one side panel and into the center for viewing is good, but looking through two panels (as if you were looking through the box at something behind it) looks pretty fuzzy. The lids fit nice and snug and I have no problems leaving them on their side without having to worry about them popping open.
The fact is, these were not advertised for use as a terrarium, but they are of good enough quality that I can use them as such. I docked one star because one of the lids had some scuffs on it that reduced visibility and took away from the almost perfect clarity in these acrylic containers but overall, these are great and I would recommend them to a friend.

ok May 15, 2011
By Studio Products Inc.
"Roberts"
Purchased through Amazon. It's difficult to say more than this is a common acrylic box and was delivered intact and on time. You can't ask for more than that.
