Use the dividers to make six separate compartments or use as one large space, the choice is yours. The Stack ‘n’ Safe Deck Box is designed for 6 Deck of 80 Game card in sleeves, but can be equally be used for playing cards and accessories. What I like the best is that you can see the contents without opening the box and will stack easily on shelves or in boxes. At less that $15.00 each, multiple boxes is an affordable option. There is no doubt that this is a very versatile product.

The case is also sturdy, offering protection for its precious contents. It comes with velcro dividers to keep you organised , a wrist strap and a shoulder strap so that you can be hands free. Everything about this product screams quality and practicality. Whether you are travelling or at home, this well designed case will suit children or adults. The price tag around $50.00 is surely an investment and I have no hesitation in recommending it. Style, versatility and protection for all your cards and accessories.
