ArtBin 17 inch 8017AB Quick View Carrying Case, Portable Art & Craft Organizer with Handle, 1 Plastic Storage Case - 17" Standard Base Open Core

After quite a bit of research, I settled on this ArtBin Quickview Case 15" with divided base and lift out tray and I am so happy that I did. It was important to me that in addition to having space for my beads and dividers to separate the larger bead storage areas into smaller ones, that it have a permanent place for my sticky bead mat (which is 8.75 x 12') or my regular bead board. As you can tell from my photos, either fits perfectly into the tray area, so I can store my work in progress out of the way in a safe and secure manner without worrying about it getting spilled on to the floor. The interior dimensions of the case itself are about 14" x 11.5". There is another half inch on either side of the handle indentation. The bottom of the case where the dividers are is about 1.75 inches deep. The top of the case is about a half inch deep. The interior dimensions of the lift out tray are pretty much the same, about 14" x 11.5" with another half inch around the handle. Overall it may be a quarter of an inch smaller than the case itself. The tray is 1.25 inches deep. It is sturdy and locks tight and will work perfectly for my crafting needs. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a good way to secure their crafting or art supplies. It is well worth the price.

OK five stars because there are a lot of great things about it. It’s roomy. It’s plastic but rather sturdy plastic. You could lock it up. It’s got little feet on the bottom to help it sit up. The dimensions though are not what I thought. The way it’s designed where the handle part dips into the carrying space does not fit a standard size notebook. I bought it to put my coloring books in for adult coloring. They don’t fit flat. So for that, I’m quite disappointed because that’s why I bought it. For someone looking to fit standard size paper in like I was, there are other designs where the handle does not dip into the Inner space. Bad design imo. I’ve ordered a different one for paper. I will put my coloring utensils in this one. I’m disappointed because it’s not for the use I wanted, but as a product itself, it’s not a bad product.

I use this to carry my art supplies for a few of my classes. It works great and is easy to carry.

As I don't have room for paint racks was looking for something to easily store and carry 10ml and 23ml Tamiya and other brand large modeling paint bottles. Have similar cases (at a substantially higher cost) which have a foam insert tailored to 17ml bottles and the Testors .25 oz square bottles. While these are great they don't help for the 10ml and 23ml glass bottles such as those made by Tamiya. There is no foam insert but the case works fine for storage and transportation of the larger diameter paint bottles from one workspace to another, which, unfortunately, is how I do it for now. The 12 inch case stores approximately 30 bottles while the 14 inch cast stores approximately 40 bottles. These counts reflect Tamiya 10ml and 23ml bottles. Very well made, durable, and store easily; these will last forever for my purpose.

I was hoping to build a "DIY light box" with this by taping four LED lights inside the box. Did a quick test and realize the case is not transparent enough for the light to pass through. But, this is a great and good size box for storing art supplies. I have other ArtBin containers and the quality of this box has the same high end quality and the latches open/close easily for someone with osteoarthritis hands.

Perfect for keeping my project straight!

Bought this to store knitting needles. Perfect fit for even 14" needles in round storage cases.

Great little case in case you need a little case. I got it to store an endoscope and may buy more to store other tools.
