This is about the size of a deck of playing cards. It's the perfect size for a pocket or purse (I've done both).

With two kids in college, one on the other side of the country, I find I'm travelling a lot more than I used to. I have a couple of 2-week pillboxes I use at home and it irks me to either bring too many meds or have to drag a mostly empty pillbox with me (and then remember to put it back when I get home). So I went looking for another pillbox I could just use for traveling. Sure, I could have picked up a cheap thing at the local druggist's for next to nothing but sometimes it's nice to splurge a bit on little things where it doesn't cost too much. At $9 for three of these, I thought it was a reasonable indulgence.

They arrived just as I'm getting ready to take my daughter back to her school so this will be a good test.

Basically, there are six compartments in a rectangular box that fits into a little slipcase. I travel with a soft duffel bag so the slipcase is a nice feature to prevent the compartments from opening when bouncing around in the bag. Overall, they are 4-3/8" wide by 2-15/16" deep and just about 5/8" thick. The individual compartments are 2-3/8" wide. They're very close in size to a 2tb external (2.5") hard drive; the pictures show it with a 5tb drive which is definitely thicker. I do think it could be smaller; if they offered the same unit but half as long and deep, I'd get it in a heartbeat. (Note: I take three pills a day and two of them are tiny.)

My initial reaction is that the quality is very good, especially compared to what you'd expect from something like this; I expect the little doors could fall off eventually after a decade of daily use but unless you get some military-grade, over-engineered device that costs a thousand dollars and weighs eight pounds, that's the chance you take with plastic boxes like this.

My reasoning for buying the three-pack was that my wife could use one and perhaps one of the kids but now I'm thinking that they would be excellent for putting some emergency meds in to keep in the car or camping gear. I recently saw a video where Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) talked about what he carries when he travels and it included a selection of medicines -- as a maker working with tools and such, he is no stranger to small injuries. I do have first aid kits, of course, but this could be something handier.

One of the center compartments has a small circle on the top and bottom, clearly meant to be a place to grip when pulling it out of the slipcase. What surprised me the most were the little dots on one side (see the pictures) opposite the circles. They're only on one side (call it the top) which initially confused me. Then I noticed that the two circles are not the same size; the pillbox can only go in the slipcase one way. (See the pictures of the larger circle not fitting in the smaller cut-out and the one where the smaller circle is obviously smaller than the cut-out.)

The little raised dots on the slipcase are meant to be a tactical indication of which side is "up" so that you don't pull the pillbox out upside down. It is possible that, if you didn't close one of the compartments all the way and you pulled it out upside down, you could drop your pills. More importantly, however, it means you don't have to try and figure out which side to open -- you feel the raised dots so you know it's right-side-up and you don't have to look and see which way to open it. Sure, it's a small thing but it will save me time each morning, especially since I'm not always all that clear-headed first thing. I love little well-thought-out things like this.

Overall, the quality is very good and the design is excellent. Yes, you can find cheaper products that will do the same job (heck, an old pill bottle works just fine) but if you can afford to splurge a bit, these are really nice.

Excellent small pill organizer to take to travel with 6 separate compartment with lid to close/open to store vit/pills

I liked the design of the entire thing.
My experience and observations:
1) One of these cases holds 24 (4 in each compartment) of my Ridgecrest physiquol pills and other similar regular sized pills. 3 lay flat then one on top. I tried to add a 5th pill but the lid wouldn't shut and it popped the next compartment lid open.

2) The white sleeves and frosted compartment insert are slightly deeper on the right side where you pull it out and than the left (the part that goes into the sleeve first), So I am not sure 4 pills would actually fit on the left side. Unsure if its supposed to be that way or not.

So as much as I liked this pill case I decided to go with a different one that also holds 24 pills, is smaller in overall size (square), comes in a set of 3 like this one and has the added feature of a removable insert. Berglander Travel Pill Organizer Pack of 3

I got this to keep the necessary meds in my bag. The box is small & sleek but efficient. It holds the right amount of everything I need.
