They are nice square acrylic cases with padding measuring 2inX2inX3/4in.They easily fit a flat MeteoriteLabel and are well priced at $3.50 with your choice of label or $1.00 with no label. I received my first 6 and am going to order several more this evening. I still love my round,padded gem-cases(jars)for bing much more economical.But I will gradually try to change over my micros to the new labeled cases. -------------------- Todd C.

[Re: edwincjones]       #2519108 - 07/14/08 08:31 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It does turn out to be expensive for a largeer collection.That is why I am making the change over gradually. With around 75 to 80 to change over(Luckily they are larger then the gem-cases and will hold about 1 1/2 to 2 round cases per square case)it will take quite a while to completely get all the square cases. But if I continue collecting I will try to make the labeled cases the ones I use for my micromounts. But regardless of what you put your micromounts in,its the specimen that means the most. -------------------- Todd C.
