It could have been better, it could have been worse.

If you're a photo booth lover like my wife and I, then the Magnetic Window Cases are a must. AKA Fridge (with transfer to rest of kitchen). This ensures excellent visibility, but also exposes your valuable photo strips to oil and smoke that fill the kitchen air and coat them with a greasy film. These cool little inventions help protect your photos from slowly getting covered in dirt. I especially liked that they are magnetic and can stick to all the appliances we have in our kitchen. Unfortunately, the magnets aren't very strong and have a hard time sticking to some of our less ferrous surfaces. This problem is compounded by the fact that the entire case we received began to "curl" around the edges, meaning the case was not laying flat (see image with yellow arrows). We had to take all 15,000 cases we bought and process, bend and smooth them by hand (15,000 *might* be overkill as we bought about a dozen I think). Even after repeated work with them, some simply refuse to lie down. It's not bueno! Another problem is that the sleeves have what I feel is an unnecessarily wide border around the see-through part of the sleeve. I see an average gap of about 1/4" on both sides and at the top of the sleeve and a 1/8" gap at the bottom. See picture with red arrows. If you're just an "amateur" at photo booth flicks, this might not be a deal breaker. However, we are full blown junkies and our "art gallery" "real estate" (aka vertical surfaces on devices) are very limited, so those quarters of an inch translate into several inches of unnecessarily wasted space and limit some of the creative techniques I use apply Formerly used for mixing and matching strips and cover shots where people were between poses etc. tl; dr: Performs a basic function for amateurs, not recommended for photo booth junkies.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Clarity
