Rolodex Petite Covered Tray Card File with 2.25 x 4 Inch Cards and 9 Guides (67093)

It's a Rolodex. I don't know why it is so hard to find them these days. Ok, that's an overstatement. I do know why, but I'm old school and refuse to entrust technology as the sole guardian of my contacts (plus, I think it's silly to scroll through the phone trying to find them, especially if you are using said phone to actually make.. imagine that... a phone call). Imagine my surprise when the local Staples store said "We don't have them anymore, but we can order you one and have it by next week." Say whaaat? They didn't really have what I was looking for: a simple, plain, sturdy Rolodex that could hold all of my contacts without taking up much space. Voila. Here it is. This Rolodex Petite sits comfortably on top of my slimline desktop, and has plenty of room for all of my important contacts and then some. It seems solid enough, the hinge lid works smoothly, and the cards are a tight fit on the spindle - which means, if it is dropped a) it shouldn't shatter into bits and b) the cards won't fly all over the place and leave you trapped in some twisted game of 250 pick-up. Suffice to say, I like it well enough that I am going to buy another to keep at my other office.

Like many other people on here, I use this to keep track of my various passwords... I just turn the contact information over and use the other side of the cards, which have blank lines. It's a great system. The cards don't fall out but are easy to rearrange, it's nice and compact so it doesn't take up much room, and the lid lets me stack things on top of it. It would also be great as a contact information filing system if that was what I was looking for; however, if you're looking for a rolodex that will fit whole business cards, get a bigger one... this one will not fit standard business cards.

I did not get this for an address directory, I got it to catalog my fountain pen inks and which pens are filled with each ink. So, I turned the cards backwards so only the lined face is in front. Fortunately, you can remove 10 to 20 cards at a time and you don't have to remove 250 individually. It works well, just as I expected. It comes with 250 blank cards and 24 alphabetic separators, the last one being XYZ. I had read the reviews and expected the cards to be thicker than they are, but they are just thick enough to do the job, just not a heavy paper stock like the better 3x5 file cards are. Unfortunately, if you need to replace the cards, apparently the replacements cards are only light paper stock and quite flimsy (from the most reviews on Amazon). Really too flimsy to easily insert and remove without bending the bottom of the card. Also too flimsy to flip each card. Sad, cheap quality permeates everything. The card paper is cheap paper, some inks bleed through. No problem for a ballpoint, but some gel and many fountain pen inks bleed through badly. You certainly aren't going to be able to use a felt tip pen at all. If you are thinking about getting the special hole punch made for this size Rolodex card, read the reviews. Totally plastic and does not work well and does not punch heavy business cards. Fortunately that is not going to apply to me at all. Otherwise, this card file does what I bought it for. The 4 star is for the cheaper card stock, that while it does work, is not high quality and will not stand up to a lot of insertion and removal. If it had been stocked with the flimsy replacement cards I would have sent this back and given it a one-star rating. Realize, these are 2-1/4 by 4 inch cards with a 1-inch spacing between the T-holes that fit the curved tracks.

This is a great little Rolodex , We have had one for years and it was getting old and scratched so thought we would replace it . The right size does not take up a lot of room on your desk or counter . The only difference in this one and the older one we had was the older one was made in the good Ole USA and this one was made in china . Also the cards are very thin the old one had thicker cards and that was nicer.

A handy, dandy little critter that sits neatly to one side and taking up very little room in the clutter on my PC desk. It holds lots of cards and performs the nice trick of pushing the cards back when you close the cover. I'm using this to store my back up to my contacts list and also my various Passwords, so I love the size. It's small enough to put away in a lockable drawer or better yet a home safe. Highly recommend it.

I'm not sure why I waited so long to get a small Rolodex for my home office. I always had one at work, but now that I'm retired I was trying to get by with my cellphone and/or an address section of my paper planner system. I'm not one of those people who has my phone (or my planner) attached to my body at all times, so I was always running around the house trying to find my phone or my planner to get a phone number or address. Now, this is next to my answering machine and desktop computer, so I can easily jot down info or drop in a business card. The cover keeps the business cards secure (although they won't be attached to the Rolodex itself like one of the handwritten cards will be). And I don't care what anyone says, except for the people you call every day, it will always be faster to find contact info in a Rolodex than on a cell phone.

Nice case. Great organizer. Cards are more like paper so they aren't as durable as my last unit, but they'll do the job.

I bought this to have all my various business cards, names, and addresses in one easy to find location. It works well for the names & addresses I copied to the furnished cards, but I've yet to figure out the best way to organize the business cards. It's a nice size and looks good on the desk.

I am a little old school, I use this often, I really like it.

I wanted something quick and easy also not too big to find addresses and this Rolodex fits the bill you also get extra cards which is a bonus.

When the product arrived I opened the packaging to find that the plastic cover of the tray was completely cracked and splintered. This is disappointing and unfortunate as I was really looking forward to getting a small sized Rolodex for my business contacts. I can still use it but now I have a broken Rolodex Tray sitting on my desk at work which I'm not too happy about.

What I expected. Arrived on time as well.

ok.
