Avoid This Fingerprint Magnet with a Streaky Plastic Top!
FOUR-HOUR UPDATE:<br />I have never updated a product review after only a few hours to lower my rating, but felt honor-bound to do so in this case.  What I thought was just an "average" quality product (3-4 stars) turned out to have a truly annoying flaw:  the plastic on the lid is a major fingerprint magnet and, to make matters worse, the plastic itself has built-in distortions/defects that make it look really grimy.  (I didn't notice the issue when I first unboxed the item during the day, but when I turned the lights on after dark, the plastic top looked like it had been passed around by a bunch of 4-year-olds who didn't wash their hands after eating birthday cake.)<br /><br />It's hard to capture in photos, but I gave it a shot.  Do you see that set of "tire tracks" on the left side of the lid?  Those marks are distortions *in* the plastic; they literally cannot be cleaned off from either side.  And all those smears and fingerprints on the rest of the lid?  Those were left *after* I thoroughly cleaned the inside and outside of the lid with soapy water and a soft dish towel!<br /><br />If you hate grimy-looking plastic (as I do), you should definitely avoid this product.  I'm off to shop for a pill organizer with a textured, matte-plastic lid that won't show every finger mark!<br />---------------------------<br />ORIGINAL REVIEW:<br /><br />Flexible large pill organizer, but nothing special<br /><br />This is a generous-sized pill organizer with three interior boxes which can be used in a variety of ways.<br /> However, since there are only 7 separate compartments in total, this would *not* be a good pill organizer for people who need to take different pills at different times of day.<br /><br />Overall Quality:  The plastic and the construction quality are slightly above average.<br /><br />Price ($16.99 at time of order):  Comparable to other large pill organizers<br /><br />Size:  I really like the overall size.  It holds a lot of pills, but the overall footprint is small enough to be relatively unobtrusive on your bathroom counter or tucked into your top drawer.<br /><br />Hinges:  Like most pill organizers, there are no actual hinges on the main box or the interior mini-boxes; the plastic at the back of each box simply bends when you open and close it.  The plastic seems to be good-quality, so I would expect it to last a long time before wearing out.<br /><br />Open/Close Function:  The compartments on the interior mini-boxes have little tabs to make opening them easier, and they have a decent click when you close them.  The two clasps on the main box are average quality, close fairly securely and are easy to operate.  I doubt the box will pop open unexpectedly.<br /><br />Not Waterproof:  The product description claims this pill box is waterproof.  It is not.  The main box has a one-piece silicone gasket which sits in a recess around the edge of the box.  Submerging it for only 3 seconds resulted in plenty of water in the main compartment and also in a few of the interior boxes.  This shouldn't be a major concern since most people don't intentionally submerge their pill box, but the "waterproof" claim is clearly a major exaggeration.<br /><br />Bottom Line:  This pill organizer does not stand out as above average, but if you like the overall size and interior configuration of the smaller containers, the product should last a reasonably long time.
