Case does NOT fit Explorer Air 2

I have a Cricut Explorer Air 2 and ordered it mainly for extra blades. The listing is a bit misleading when it says "1 pc knife block. This is a perfect replacement for the Cricut Explore Air/Air 2 /Maker/Expression blades" as you might think that the body (knife block) is in fits these machines, although this is not the case. At least not for the Explorer Air 2. In my photo you can clearly see the difference between the dwelling unit of this listing (left) and the original Cricut dwelling unit (right). The replacement has a metal ring built into the outside of the case making it impossible to properly fit into the mount on the machine. It's too low. If it were much higher it would be a great replacement. Even if you unscrew the top part of the case, it becomes too thin and falls through the bracket. There is no way around it, the case will NOT work with the Cricut Explorer Air 2. On the other hand, the BLADES are a perfect replacement and fit into the original Cricut case. The blades are just as sharp and just the right size for a Cricut blade body. So far I've only used one of the red blades (the one at 45 degrees) but it cuts just as cleanly and smoothly as my original thin point blade. So in terms of value, this listing is a lot, just for the blades. Enclosure is junk if you have Cricut.

Pros
  • Scrapbooking and stamping
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
