Greater than one weekIf you want a box that fits your dice, and deck (60 or 100 card) and you want the best in the business, this is the deck box you want to buy. I call it the Cadillac of deck boxes because its the most sturdy/stable/quality, but the size of the box means it takes up more space than traditional smaller/cheaper deck boxes. If youre bringing a few decks in a backpack and want to keep them secure, Id go with these. If you have over 30+ decks, this isnt sustainable and storing your decks in other means (multi-row white boxes with smaller deck boxes) would be what youd want to do.

> 3 dayWhen I first saw images of this product, I was highly impressed by its design. It appeared to have sturdy construction and pleasant aesthetics, as well as enough space to handle a few of my decks. The reviews of this product were immensely positive and that convinced me to purchase it. Upon arrival and having had some time with it, Ive concluded that this product is quite the opposite of my expectations and not at all what the reviewers have stated in the positive reviews. This product is a 2 star product for a few reasons. First and foremost, are the magnets. They are definitely strong and will hold the flaps in place... However, they cant seem to stay in place within their actual spots in the flaps. Three of the magnets (the top most flap and the center flap) have already loosened and I have had to push them back into place. Whether or not this is a production issue with the adhesive is also a moot point; over time, the magnets will eventually loosen from their spots and fall out of place. Due to their strength, they cause the inner microfiber material to loosen more and more with each opening. If these magnets were securely in place, like in the bottom flap, they wouldnt cause this issue. Second are the flaps themselves. While it was a pretty cool idea to have 3 separate flaps, it actually doesnt have much of a benefit to the deck box. These flaps were not designed to close quickly and perfectly, and you have to adjust them so they just fit right. Obviously, the folks that designed this deck box didnt think much from the engineering aspect of it. Having 3 separate flaps introduces a general weakness in the enclosure of the box. One or more of them will slowly loosen from place due to the inefficient way in which they close, and will eventually become damaged. A single flap design would make a sturdier enclosure and cut costs; you will use less magnets to close the flap and use less overall material to make the flaps. While my review is mostly oriented toward the negative aspects of this deck box, there are some positives. The material used is definitely excellent in quality and there is more than enough space to store 2 of my decks. The dice container is perfect and comes in and out easily, as do the deck slots. However, due to the aforementioned weakness, I am returning this product and cannot recommend it. Even in the little time I had with it, the flaws stood out like a stick in the mud and I am unsure how so many people reviewed this product so positively. Buyer beware.

> 3 dayBought this for my wife and her Magic cards. I’m very impressed how well it feels and how sturdy it is. The magnets that keep it together really work and doesn’t shake off. If you wish to protect your yugioh, or magic cards this is it.

> 3 daySuch a good deck box I really enjoy the flip dice tray and just how study this is it fell of my magic self because of my cat and I was very fearful for my cards but to my surprise they were 100% ok it was a 5ft drop so I wouldnt recommend seeing how far it ca fall before it messes stuff up just keep in mind that it was probably one of the best travel boxes especially if you buy this companys doublewide box like this that has 2 different deck trays so you can take at the most 240 sleeved cards

> 3 dayThis deck box has been in my apartment, sitting on my desk ever since I bought it. I was cleaning recently, picked it up to dust it off and I noticed the back side was coming off. The back panel was about 50% off, I got curious, and now its 100% off. Apparently there is some very weak adhesive on the back side holding the back flap to the box. Now I could fix this quite easily with some super glue but thats not the point. Ive contacted Ultimate Guard regarding this issue and if/when they respond I will update this review. *UPDATE - 12/29/2017* It has been a while since my initial review but I contacted Ultimate Guard and they took care of me. Now the time it took from then to now isnt a poor reflection of Ultimate Guard, I just never followed through like I should have. Nevertheless, after all this time I decided to finally reach out to them and they were great. They asked for simple stuff like proof of purchase and pictures but that was it. Initially they didnt have any black flip n trays available but since mine was black and I really wanted my replacement to be black I communicated this to them and they accommodated me, no issues. Now, I suppose theres a chance this one might come apart like the last one but only time will tell. Ill be sure to follow up if/when that does happen but I feel optimistic. Im chalking this one up to a fluke for now and have changed my review to a 5 star rating. All in all, this case is made of nice material, it looks cool, and should protect your cards well as long as you dont get one with weak adhesive on it... I do hope this issue has been rectified. Regardless, if you come across any problems, Ultimate Guard will take care of you just contact them.

> 3 dayBought this deck box to store a commander deck with a bunch of tokens, counters, dice, and some other cards to mix in. It’s well constructed and serves its purpose perfectly. You could fit two 100 card decks but that brings me to my only gripe. My only knock on the deck box is that fitting a double-sleeved commander (dragon shield inner and art sleeves) is a very snug fit - to the point where I have to be very careful not to bend cards when putting the deck away. So I put my commander on one side with tokens and sideboard and the remaining 99 cards on the other side. Works great but as I said, 99 cards is reeeeeal snug. Outside of that one complaint, great deck box for a reasonable price. Makes me look at Ultimate Guard first for any future deck box purchases.

Greater than one weekHolds two double sleeved commander decks and also has a spot for your dice. Magnets are great, powerful enough to hold even with the most violent shaking

> 3 dayIve been using this deck box for just over a year now and its still in the same working condition as the day I got it. Initially I used the main trays with 100-card Commander decks in the new Dragon Shield Matte sleeves which allowed for some breathing room for the cards. Then I put KMC Perfect Size sleeves within the Dragon Shield sleeves and while its a much tighter fit, it is still possible to fit a 100-card deck in each tray. Its important to note the top and bottom cards will slightly bend due to the space constraints. Since noticing that I have switched from Dragon Shield Mattes to the Ultra Pro Eclipse sleeves and am much happier. Some reviews stated issues with the glue and other things, but I have not experienced any issues yet.

Greater than one weekI this deck box. I purchased it petrol and it is true to the color on the website. The magnetic closures are secure. The texture is attractive and has a good feel. The lining on the inside is attractive and doesnt grab my sleeves too much. I fit my whole commander (100) deck and 10 token cards single sleeved in dragon shield in each box. In the accessory compartment, I have a couple extra sleeves, 2 life counters and several dice and room to spare! So glad I got this after watching Tolarian Academys review!! Thanks Prof!
