Not ringing any bells
This really only serves to hold index cards while stationary. Lid doesn’t do well to stay shut.

Not great.
We bought two of these in different colors. To get them home and they are very flimsy and won’t close with a “click”… they just barely stay together closed. They were on sale- so I’m not returning them.

Lid tends to not fully shut
Just have to make sure your cards are pushed backwards. Spacing on bottom separator might be off.

My favorite flash card!
I love the thickness of these cards. I switched over to these because others are so thin you can see the writing on the other side. I’d recommend these!!

Acceptable but plastic hinges are not durable
This is the third card file that I have bought of this type. The quality is acceptable but the plastic hinges are not durable. My recent purchase was to replace a similar box whose hinges had broken. (I will say however that the box that I replaced I had had for about four years.) If Staples offered a higher quality 3X5 card file I would buy it; but this is the ...

The material and construction is cheap. Lid does not function as well as it could. Not durable.

3x5 Card File
Not expensive and not particularly well made but they do keep the cards from falling all over the floor.

Really good storage for flash cards
My son picked this out for his government class flash cards. It seems to hold about 3 50ct packs of cards and keeps them protected in his backpack for school. The lid does pop open from time to time if his backpack is smashed but it's about what we expected. It keeps his cards from getting destroyed and that's what we needed!

Plastic good but wooden better
Would have preferred a wooden box over plastic.

Staples 3' x 5' Index Card File
The index cards fit nicely in this card file holder. It is very sturdy for storage of your index cards.
