Nice idea but wish it was bigger and additional magnetic sheets are not readily available. Your bigger dies will not fit in this small bin.

the magnets are not very "sticky" so every time I opened the box, the dies would come off the sheets unless I did it super carefully. Also, the ends of the sheets curl up which doesn't work well with flat dies. I sent mine back for a refund....

I never write reviews, although I often find them a valuable tool when making a purchase both on and off of Amazon. These reviews are ridiculous. You aren't going to be able to just throw your thin die on the sheet and expect it to stick. You have to move the around so that you can get your dies to stick. Dies have a magnetic side, which will easily stick to the white sheet, and side that is magnetic, which will not stick to either side of the sheet. When your die sticks to the white sheet, you've found the magnetic side. I've included a few pictures showing some of my larger dies fitting in the case in the additional pictures area. As to being able to buy extra sheets, here they are in a pack of three. ArtBin 6979AB Magnetic Die Sheets, 3-Pack

Honest reviews on Spellbinder Magnetic Die Case

Besides taking a long time to arrive, even though it was a Prime item, it arrived with all of the magnetic sheets curled up, making it useless! It may have occurred in the shipping process and got very hot for those sheets to curl up that way. Plus I think the sheets and the case could be larger. It pretty much holds only one set of large Nestabilities per sheet. I was given an authorization to return it and was promptly given a credit. Even had the sheets not been curled up, I probably would have returned it due to it's size.

I have dies from a variety of companies: Spellbinders, Die-Namics, Memory Box, Cherry Lynn, Sizzix, etc. I had been storing them all in a large "bin," trying to keep them stuck to their original packaging, but that was becoming a problem

I had tried to devise my own "system" -but couldn't find the right size cards/etc. to use for the backing.

Finally found these, and decided to give them a try.

So far, they're working reasonably well. Almost all my dies are smaller: no larger than what would fit on an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") card, so I haven't run into any issues with larger dies since I don't own any. I can store two sets of Spellbinders Nestabilities on each sheet, but I do have to be careful when "flipping" through the sheets; otherwise, one or more of the larger ones will pop loose.

Also, one brand of dies that I use uses clear plastic on some of their dies (particularly the "banner" dies) so you can see through them to line up your die with a stamped sentiment or whatever, and this plastic interferes with the "stick-ability" from a magent standpoint. I may just remove the plastic, since it really serves no useful purpose.

Some have mentioned the "curling" -and I've found this in several of the magnetic sheets, but not all of them. Not sure what causes it, but for now, I'm using those for my smaller dies, and using the really flat sheets for my larger dies. Also, I've had some luck putting a "curled" sheet between two heavy-weight cookie sheets, placing a few books under the stack and then piling a bunch of books on the top sheet, and leaving it there for a few days (the "sandwich" from the bottom up would be: couple of books, cookie sheet, magnetic sheet, cookie sheet, bunch of books) -really seems to flatten it out.

Anyway, this is my "storage choice" for metal dies for now, until/unless something better comes along. I've been able to find the refill pages cheaper elsewhere, but Amazon's price on the case is the best I've found so far.
