Ratings & Reviews Solo Expanding Cheque Case (Elastic)(pack of 2)

I am using this for managing the cheque books, passbooks and bank related documents for me and my wife.

This is a good product for organizing all those cheque-book sized things... They can all be fitted inside the 12 compartments, and the provided Indexing option is great too. I ordered two of these where in one I am going to keep all my cheque-books and stuff, while the other one is going to be used for the Cash Management System I am deploying for myself (the so-called "envelope system", except that here I'd use the compartments to put cash under different expense heads) The problem is with the product design. While the top flap of the case has multiple horizontal folding lines to enable it to provide top cover as the case expands, the bottom has no expansion capability at all... All the 12 pockets are hot-pressed together with little expanding space. So if you actually try and put more stuff in it, it will expand from top but not from bottom, thus giving the case an inverted triangle look when viewed from the side. Further, this sort of design also means that if you put anything more than a few papers, or cheque-books that each have any more than 10 leaves in them; the case will expand into an awkward shape which will make it difficult for you to put the top flap down to close it. The elastic will not make it to the button on the flap, and so you will have to keep the case open... However, if you use it just to store a few papers, may be 2-3 cheque books, some loose cash etc, it is a great product...
