Pros:Good buy. Necessary if you have several 18650 batteries - otherwise they'd be rattling around in your pocket/bag/whatever.I like the orange colour, really nice. It would have been nice to get the blue as well (see below). Hopefully in the next batch I'll get some blue ones
Cons:None really. I got both of them (2 pack) in orange. I would have liked to have them in different colours. This is so I could use one for depleted batteries, and the other for fresh ones. Anyway, i put a sticker on one of them to indicated which was which.
Other Thoughts:I'm gonna order a few more, for myself and a friend. Really useful and cheap. What more can you ask for?
Bottomline:These are a must buy if you own a few 18650/CR123 batteries.

Pros:I like how the latch seems to stay closed on both of mine, that is very useful when carrying them inside a bag or pocket. I also like how the colors differentiate, as to tell charged batteries from dead batteries. I also like the versatility of being able to carry different types of batteries within the cases.
Cons:The hinge seems weak, but in over 6 months of owning them, they have not broken yet.
Other Thoughts:I'd get this just because of how handy it is.
Bottomline:Wish I had more batteries so I could have a reason to buy more of these!

Pros:There a good case if you have CR123A or 18650 batteries . Easy to use , and really tidy up the 18650 collection , making storage much safer .
Cons:Mine were just a little easy to open . Not really a problem , but they wont handle a drop or hard knock .
Other Thoughts:There is another 18650 case available @ DTW which is more secure and will handle the odd ops a little better than this one .You must do away with the 500 character thing , its not always applicable . How much can be said about a battery case ?
Bottomline:All said and done , its a good storage case , that securely and safely allows for Li-ion storage .

Pros:Protective case for your batteries. Protected 18650 cells fit just fine, as do primary CR123A cells. (Using http://www.dealtoworlde.com/details.DTW/sku.05790)
Cons:Protected 16340s (CR123As) don't fit quite as well. It is possible to have one 18650 and two CR123As if the latter are put end to end. This doesn't work with the 16340s as they are two long. Even when stored normally in the case they don't fit that well and occasionally catch on the lid when closing.
Other Thoughts:If would be nice to have a 14500 version of this.Alternatives include:http://www.dealtoworlde.com/details.DTW/sku.26310http://www.dealtoworlde.com/details.DTW/sku.26339
Bottomline:Useful, but could be better. Would buy again.

Pros:The plastic it's made of seems tough. Latches closed easily and well. Easy to unlatch/open. 2 differing colors are sent per order.I got a clear and an orange. Each case fits 2 18650 batteries or 4 cr 123 batteries. Loose enough to allow a nice rattle sound for marimba bands.
Cons:Could be made of super high tech space age ...........stuff.....but,its not!
Other Thoughts:They seem like they will do thier job very well. This expert understands the inner workings of these.
Bottomline:I look forward to using them. Glad I have different colors. I don't expect to have any failure if used in a reasonable fashion.
