I don't know how on earth the top review got bent and lost pins: the picture shows a hard case and mine arrived exactly like that. Just in case, I went through the whole box and all contacts were perfectly direct and present. The only tip I'd like to give is that it would be nice if the tops were bent/curved slightly outwards so the ICs point straight out without adjustment: almost all ICs I've bought have legs with slightly splayed ones Legs that must be bent inward to fit in these holders. I'm not giving a star for this because I don't think it's the manufacturer's fault, but if they wanted to make a product more compatible with the current market, I think that would be a good change.
