Hi there,

I occasionally travel to Korea (dh resides there at the moment) and
am constantly perusing the stores in and around Seoul for 'ideal'
letterboxing containers. On my last two trips to the area, I
purchased several of these SnapWare containers (among a bunch of
other containers)--specifically the smallest one they make which is
about 2"x1.5"x1.5" (prism shape) and after squeezing all of the
typical letterboxing contents in it for a mini-letterbox, the lid
didn't always stay snapped down tightly. This probably isn't a
problem for the larger containers but rather just that small one
because the 'snap tabs' don't seem to get enough 'leverage' to lock
down the contents. One visitor who doesn't take the time to ensure
the snaps are down tightly would ruin the contents of the contaier.
Otherwise, I like the container. I did find it a bit bulkier than
other interesting letterboxing containers I found in Seoul that ran
about the same dimensions (at least the ones whose 'internal'
capacity held the same amount of stuff as did this one). I found
other containers in Seoul that had just as 'sturdy-sealing' lids as
this one but whose entire 'size' was about 75% of the SnapWare
containers' size (i.e. they were much slimmer). Unfortunately, I
haven't yet found these slimmer containers available in the US yet.
Perhaps they're on their way soon? ;)

Thanks for sharing this info though. I'll keep my eyes posted for
other interesting containers on my next trip to Korea and will let
you know what I learn.

I came across a few of these type (not sure it was the same brand) in
some geocaches and the snaps were broken. I also have some that I
bought for kids' toys and the snaps broke pretty easyily. I would
durability test before placing in the wild.
