I don't think I've ever written an Amazon review before, but had to comment when I saw this holder. This is the very same one VistaPrint gives out free sometimes with certain orders, or sells for about $5. I liked it at first, especially for the price, because it seemed that all of the sleek, classic style business card holders cost upwards of $10 or $15. I no longer like it because it is THE WORST when it comes to...FINGERPRINTS.
I don't even pull it completely out of my pocketbook any more when I'm handing out business cards, because I don't want people to see the one whole side of the holder that's inevitably going to be smeared and riddled with (fingerprint) oils.
How professional is that? I say go with one of the holders that has textured faces.
CAPACITY.
It only holds about EIGHT cards at a time, and I always find myself running out when I go anywhere at all, having to resort to going back to my car or carrying two card holders for backups once the measly eight this one holds are depleted.
Okay. Alright. In all fairness, you can shove a couple more in the holder, but that makes the third problem worse, which is that it...
DAMAGES CARDS.
I have the type of business cards that are full-color, with one glossy side. The sharp edges of the thin metal (as one reviewer pointed out) SCRATCH and dig into the front card in the holder, if A) you're not verrrrrrrry careful pulling one out (and your prospects would regard you as if you were a crackhead to pull a simple business card out like it was made of china, or B) you shove more than 8 cards in the godforsaken thing.
SIGH! Just spend the $10 more and get a better holder already. This was my first. Now, at least, I know what to look for.
