[QUOTE="JeffC, post: 3473930, member: 90913"]I have bought both the white ones from China and the Leuchtturm Everslab from Germany. Here are my experiences and pros & cons. THE PCCB CHINESE ONES: Cons: I ordered a pack of 5, but ended up with 3 being damaged or unuseable. One had a chip in its corner, the other had two identical halves (instead of a male and a female half) so the two halves can't snap together. The third one cracked as I was closing them, even though I never apply too much pressure. I include photos showing the damage. I've used the remaining two and they seem fine. See photos. However the white insert jiggles a bit against the acrylic case. To be fair - since I've only placed one order - maybe I just got a bad batch from this one vendor. I don't know. But once burned, twice shy. The batch I received only served to reinforce stereotypes about China's QA/QC. Pros: They look cool - like TPG professional slabs! They can be re-opened fairly easily if you need to. THE EVERSLABS Pros: I've never had a problem with them. They don't jiggle. They're cheaper than the white ones (in most instances). Cons: If you made a mistake on the label, it's quite difficult to open them again. It can be done though. The black insert doesn't look as cool as the white ones - but you mentioned you don't mind the color.
