Extra Large Weekly Pill Organisers and Medication Supplement Container with Portable Travel Pill Case - (7-Day/4-Times-A-Day) with Secure Spill-Proof Design to Hold Vitamins

I bought one of these for my mother when she was on a protocol involving a large number of supplements, and soon bought a second for myself. The key selling feature that I'm sure brings most people to this case is size: these things are huge. Compared to any other pill case I've ever had this would be two or three sizes bigger. Pay attention to how many huge fish oil capsules they are listed to hold for a comparison. If you really need the size as I did nothing else will do.When shut the lids hold *strongly*. I had a bit of trouble getting them open when it was new, until they loosened up just enough that they are very firm but not troublesome to open. To me this is a positive feature--I've probably had one come open no more than once or twice, even when I put one in a soft computer bag where I'd expect to have trouble. Admittedly, if you only use them at home then you might not benefit, and if you have a weak grip you might have trouble with them. I count the firm closure as a strong positive feature, but it may not suit everyone.While we're speaking of the lids, it's worth noting that, unlike some of the smaller cheaper cases some of my family uses, the lids stay fully open and are therefore much easier to load. That matters a good deal if you are dispensing enough pills that you need a case as large as this one.The case holds the individual daily pill cases snugly, especially at the ends. I think the extra security (especially when traveling with the whole case) is worth a bit of fiddling to remove the end ones in particular, though I wish it held them equally at the center and edges. Again, some who don't travel with the case may feel it's a bit inconvenient.The one downside is that after a couple of years of hard use the legends have mostly worn off, and I mostly use them without trying to read them. I waffled for a while over whether to reduce my rating because of this, but that seems a bit unfair as the same has happened to every pill case I've ever owned. I wish the legends were molded in, or (ideally) made of a separate piece of plastic of a different color, but I suspect most people would not be willing to pay for the extra cost. I find them still completely usable, but it's worth knowing.The final item of note is service. I once left a day's case at a hotel. When I asked if I could purchase a replacement I was clear that it was my fault and the case was not new, but the seller immediately cross-shipped me a replacement for the price of shipping. These things are tough and (other than the legends) still going strong after two years, so I'm glad not to have to treat them as cheap disposable items.These cases won't suit everyone, but I've tried to make it easy to tell if they will suit you. They meet my requirements far better than any other case I've tried.

Just to clarify, I'm writing this at the end of 2022, but I purchased all of mine between February 2019 and September 2020. Now, on to the review.These are, by far, the best pill boxes I've every had. With several new diagnoses coming in rapid succession, my amount of meds very quickly increased from just a few to a lot, so I desperately needed a bigger pill box. For a while, I tried to make do with two weeks of AM-PM boxes because I already had them, but I found that I kept forgetting to take them because they weren't all in the same box (I was in grad school and had to take my meds with me each day, and up until that point I was used to only taking one box with me regardless of the size). After some very extensive searching online, I came across these, which I decided to try because they were the biggest 4x/day boxes I could find that were this style and had the best reviews. I ordered one to try it out, and as soon as I transferred one day's worth of meds into it, I knew I had found a keeper. Each day's compartments held all I needed, plus had extra space leftover, meaning I only had to take 1 box with me each day because it held all my meds for the entire day, making it easier to remember to take them even if I was gone significantly longer than I had anticipated on any particular day, The only times I've ever had compartments open on me is when something caught hard on the tab that you push up to open them - almost 4 years of carrying them in my backpack and purse, I don't think it has happened more than maybe a couple dozen times, if even that.After a month or so, I realized that I wanted to be able to go 2 or 3 (or 4) weeks in between filling my boxes, so I gradually got a few more sets. But in order to keep straight which box went to which of those 4 weeks, I had to number the trays and number the boxes, which helped but eventually got a bit annoying because the sharpie markings kept rubbing off. After my first trip that year (5 1/2 weeks long) since getting them, I realized that it would just be easier to have each week be its own color, so over the course of the next year and a half, I ordered enough to have one color per week, plus one extra week (each day a different color) in case any of the boxes broke (over the years, I've had a few crack to the point that they won't stay shut, so some of the boxes in that extra set have already been put into use) - none of the hinges on mine have broken, though: when mine have cracked, it has always been on the side of the compartment where the lid latches.I do most of my meds 4 weeks at a time, and a separate set of meds 2 weeks at a time (the latter are only 2x/day, so one full box of those will last 2 weeks), so I have 5 of the 7 weeks in regular rotation. One of the other 2 sets - the one I use for travel - I keep in the case when not in use, and the other extra week lives at my parents' house because I spend a lot of time there but they live really far away (1,000 miles/16hrs driving), so just easier to keep it there and instead bring just the meds that go in it back and forth every time instead of both the box and the meds, since those meds take up far less space when not in the box.Because the labels rub off so easily, I was able to get them off without much trouble (Qtips and a little lemon oil easily did the trick), and because they send a full extra set of labels with each set (they explicitly acknowledge that the original labeling will rub off, and so they provide a full set of replacement labels for free, and thus far the lettering on the replacement ones has NOT rubbed off AT ALL on mine (after 2 1/2-4 years of heavy use, there's not a single scratch mark on any of the printing) - I've personally never seen any other company be willing to do that), I arranged each week's boxes the way that they fit best in each tray (thus avoiding the issue of them falling out on their own or not all of them fitting into it at the same time), then used the extra labels to label them in that order. The trays themselves I simply labeled with a sharpie with what color boxes go in them, so that it's never a guessing game and so that every box always fits perfectly into its tray. I don't keep them in the black cases when in use - just in their trays and stacked on my dresser - so I only kept the 2 best cases out of the 8, and I use one for travel (it fits perfectly in both of my carryon suitcases) and one to hold the spare replacement boxes.As for the sizing, they are as advertised. For reference, I can fit at least 90 pills that are various sizes and shapes - ranging from tiny claritin tablets all the way up to 000 capsules (can't fit 90 "000" caps, though😉 - I wish!) - into one day's compartments, though with some of them I do have to be intentional about what general order I put them into the box in (don't have to carefully arrange, I just drop them in), but not super specific. The aforementioned separate set of meds is all 00 caps - with just dropping them in, I can fit 17 "00" caps in a single compartment (so 72 in a single day), and if I carefully arrange it, I can fit 18 in a single compartment (so 76 in a single day) and still loosely enough that they don't get stuck if I open it and turn it upside down (I usually dump them from the box straight into my mouth when taking them, so the fact that they don't get stuck is important to me).Hands down, I love these pill boxes, and will continue to use them for as long as they serve me.
