Frustrated with new SU clear mount cases

[mcost]

Is anyone having trouble getting the new SU clear mount cases to close? I am getting so frustrated with mine. I cannot get them to snap shut again once they are opened. I love the idea of the cases and I love the plastic pocket on the outside where you can put the piece of paper with the stamped image on it, but the case is useless if I can't get it to close. I want to be able to grab a case, open it, get the stamp I need, use the stamp, then put the stamp back and close the case, but I am finding that I have to sit there and mess with the darn case, but even after fussing with it, I still can't get it to close. Am I the only one experiencing this? What am I doing wrong? I'd love any hints anyone can give me to make this easier!:confused:

I notice in the beginning, you to make sure the little tabs thingys are lined up and snap tightly shut. I have not had any trouble since, I have however added many more stamp sets to one case, such a waste of space. I just posted on my blog about it.....hth *~*

You're not alone! I have had to fiddle with mine...especially the Tiny Tags box...I guess because I use it so often. The pieces in that set are so small that several dropped out when I thought I had closed the box and it wasn't really closed properly. It's definitely not a one click process.

Yup, my only complaint about them ... but they eventually do close, after a little frustration!

I've had the same problem also......don't know if I am going to like this new case or not.....

You really need to get the tabs lined up properly,, just made me discover I need new glasses!!! I do love the space they save and have some cases with three or so sets in them.

My problem is that I can't get my stamps to cling to the case, so when I store it upright, and open the case, all my stamps come rushing out at me.

It's hard to explain, but you don't press them in the middle of the case - it's like 1/4 of the way down, then 3/4 of the way down - you press in two places. That's how I get mine closed the best. And check to make sure the little thingies are lined up. <G> How's that for a technical explanation!? <g>

No, no problems here.

1. you know you have all the stamps
2. they stay in place

AWESOME idea! Thanks so much! I will start saving mine. :p

[snowcountry311]

for the sets you already have. try fun foam. trim to fit in the cases

You could try Dotto or something inside the case, too. Just run a strip under where each stamp would be. Not sure how long that would stay sticky enough, though.
