I read reviews on this item before purchasing it but didn't quite understand. The metal is solid-check. It holds lots of cards - check. Heavy, feels good in your hands - check. Looks good and makes a good impression - check. Stays shut and protects your business cards - NO. The problem isn't a defective unit. The problem is the design.
I expected that the lid work something like a zippo lighter. After all, the similarities in appearance are too many to discuss. The lid instead, is held "closed" through friction. If you look very carefully at the picture on Amazon, you'll see to the side opposite the hing a metal tooth coming out of the case. That tooth is ever so slightly angled so that the lid fits over it and then pulls against it. One might think of it as a sort of doorstop? Anyways, initially, the lid stays closed. However, the design always assumed that the solid hinge show absolutely no wear at all. In less than a month, the lid began to open. I'm not sure if the metal tooth became ever so slightly bent or if the hinge lost some shape.
It didn't bother me too much, as the cards within would "catch" the lid, so the cards have never spilled out. However, what does happen is that the corners of my business cards become dented.
The purpose of this product is first and foremost to protect business cards. It does not fulfill this purpose. If you don't need a business card holder, but, need something shiny and heavy to carry around in your pocket, then this item is perfect!Get more detail about Deluxe Business Card Holder - Stainless Steel by Blomus.
