Not the size they said
For what it's worth, I got two of these and they're considerably bigger than the description says. The boxes that arrived are at least four inches high, a foot long and seven inches deep. Why? I have no idea. But, as received, they're certainly too large to slip into a backpack. I gave them to the kids anyway. They can always keep stuff in them, in their rooms. keepsakes.

Amazon: measure the thing and revise your description (or was I sent the next size up by accident?)

The quality's not bad, not great. The inside is a hard, rubbery affair, not soft as I'd imagined. They don't look too sturdy, either.

This was my experience, for what it's worth.

good buy/perfect for our needs
My Mom's in assisted living. We bought this item to house her insulin that must be kept locked in her small, beside refrigerator. It works perfectly for this purpose and is reasonably priced.

My Brother Thinks Its Awsome!
I had bought this for my kid-brother and he simply loves it.
He was always complaining how people got into his poutch at school and stealing things. It was a great birthday present, for him to day. The happiness in his eyes warmed my heart. (:

Not Just for Pencils!
This box is amazing. I'm able to keep 3 of my moleskine notebooks and all my pencils in there along with post its and many other accessories. The case itself is very sturdy and after 2 years of use, mine still looks great.

Well-Made!
It's advertized as a pencil box, but it can be used for so many things. I use it as a makeup storage case. It's sturdy, well made and cute as hell!

Fun & Sturdy, but a bit complicated!
The Vaultz Pencil Box Bling Skull is very cool and sturdy, just the type of pencil box i wanted for my 6 year old son. He loves it and so do i but my only let down is the fact that the lock is complicated for a 6 year old to operate, where if you are locking you turn the lock once to the right and extract the key and if you are unlocking you turn the key once to the left, but with this pencil box you have to turn the key twice to the right to lock and even so the key is still a bit difficult to extract after locking. To unlock its the opposite now where you have to turn the key twice to the left and you still get the difficulty of extracting the key. The reason i bought this was because it locks, which would help in stopping the other kids from takin his stuff, but i cant lock it now as this might be trouble for him when time to use his stationery. Nevertheless i like it , he loves it and we'll see if everything works itself out.

Cool pencil box
This pencil box by Vaultz is fun. The Ruby Bling Skull box pretty much sums up my 9 year old daughter's sense of style - bold, sparkly, edgy kept simple. I got it for her because she said "all the kids" in her class had the blue or black Vaultz pencil boxes and she wanted one. I went to Amazon to see if there were any in red and this one jumped right out at me. She was so excited when she saw this one, she loves it.

When the pencil box arrived there was a hole on the box above the lock, it looked like it had been drilled in the wrong place to attach the lock. If I had purchased from a store I would have seen the hole right away and not purchased but I didn't want the hassle of an online return so I dabbed it with glue and some fine red glitter and you'd never know. The box is sturdy and the lock works like any other lock from a kids diary, maybe a little more sturdy. I imagine the glitter will start to wear off soon but I've got plenty left from the repair so I'm ready! I still feel it shouldn't have been sent that way, it was a good sized cardboard colored hole right on the front of the box. Had I not recieved a damaged item I would give it 5 stars for the value and cool factor.

I have since seen the Ruby Bling Skull Pencil Box in one Staples for the same price.

Excellent Product
I purchased this product in blue for my son. We are going to use it to store his cellphone and small valuables while he is away at camp. The box is extremely sturdy and it comes with 2 keys. This box can easily fit into a backpack and can be used at school for the same purpose. I was thrilled to find this item.

Does anyone remember those pencil boxes they used to make a while back that had buttons on them?

Jul 20, 2007 by ilovestarbucks08 | Posted in Toys

OK back in the 90's Disney and Sanrio and probably other people used to make these really cool pencil boxes that had buttons on them. Like I had a Sanrio one with a bear on it and it had buttons with a pop out magnifying glass, coin holder, money slot, thermometer, pencil sharpener etc etc. I REALLY WANT TO FIND ONE OF THESE TO BUY! Preferably Sanrio, but anything girly looking will probably work. PLEASE HELP!

This site has a Hello Kitty pop-up pencil case, which is probably what you are looking for. http://www.popgadget.net/2006/03/tricked_out_hel.php
It's very girly too. I am looking for just a picture myself of one I use to have in grade school. It was blue and it had the characters PiPi and BerBer on it. Still trying to track down classic pencil cases so I can find it but no such luck yet.

Teachers -- do 1st graders NEED to have personal pencil boxes?

Aug 27, 2007 by mizzfroggi | Posted in Teaching

I was hired to teach 1st grade at a very disadvantaged school. This is my first year and I'm broke after taking a year off to get my credential. The classroom was pretty empty... I've already spent over $300 on stuff that's difficult to teach without (pocket chart, chart paper, white boards, calendar...).

To make a long story short, I don't want to buy 20 pencil boxes for the kids to keep their stuff in (crayons, pencils, scissors...). I planned to just have them keep that stuff in tubs in center of each table group.

But every other teacher has boxes. :-(

Is this something I should feel bad about? Do the kids really need boxes for some crazy reason that I'm just failing to see?

One person already commented about me not having pencil boxes ready... I just found it odd that this would be something that someone would notice about my classroom....

No you do not need for your students to have pencil boxes and in fact it is typically better for them not to have one. They just take up a lot of room and are another possible distraction for students. It is much easier to have the supplies in designated areas and allow the children to pick things up as they need them. Appoint a helper, a child who is responsible, to pass out the items to the students when they are needed and pick them up when the activity is done.

Many teachers believe that their way is the only way things can/should be done. If you do something different, it brings up the possibility that there might be a better way to do things than the way they are doing it. They don't like that too much too often.

Just do things the way you want to do them. If someone makes an issue of something that you are doing, just say that you are not going to do things that way in your room.

What is the difference between a small pencil/supply box and a trapper keeper?

Aug 04, 2007 by Kristin D | Posted in Grade-Schooler

My stepdaughter's school supply list wants a small pencil/supply box, but not a trapper keeper. What am I supposed to be looking for?

---

A pencil box is just a small plastic box with a lid that latches shut... they are everywhere right now, in every school supply aisle. Trapper Keepers are more like 3 ring binders.

Where can I buy cardboard pencil boxes? In a store, not online.?

Sep 11, 2008 by chieromancer | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts

Cardboard or chipboard, not plastic.

Preferrably with out clasps, handles, etc. Don't care what's printed on them, I'm just going to cover them up.

I know I buy them on the internet, but I don't need a dozen, just one or two

I've tried Michaels, Target, Kmart, and Big Lots. I'm really surprised Michaell's didn't have them.


Thanks for your help.

you can make your own from old cartons, discarded cereal boxes, other cardboard containers, etc. Cut & paste to your required size & shape - customized! And then cover with beautiful paper/paint/fabric, etc. &/or adorn with sequins/beads & so on
you can even get templates to use for cutting. try this site for some beautiful templates in various shapes & sizes --- www.mirkwooddesigns.com
