I love the jewelry case!  The quantity of slots makes it easy to select earrings and the lining is soft,so I don't have to worry about scratching silver and pearls.  I'm sure the clear top is supposed to be a visual advantage, but I've had to place flat "cotton" over some of the slots to slow down tarnish on my Native American earrings/rings.  Although I find the case to be portable, it is not intended to be used as a travel case.  The top does not "seal" the earrings in place, so don't even attempt it.  The size makes it easy to store in either my dresser drawers, and/or on my shoe shelves!  The top has two snaps that fold over the side which is convenient and these do not impede the view.  I think this is a much better jewelry case than the ones that have a piece of cut plastic that is intended to sit on top of the slots.  I have those and there is no comparison!
