The cheap plastic container think of the plastic of which milk gallons are made, only a little thicker has a partition to hold the Tag Reader in place and sufficient room to fit up to 6 books.
The hinges consist of 3 strips of clear plastic that are glued to the top half and the bottom half of the case. When opening the case you should not force the top half beyond 90 degrees or the hinges are likely to break this is what earns this item the one star for 'durability'.
The front is locked with 2 rather loose green plastic clamps. You must be careful when closing the case or they may end up inside the plastic handle instead of outside and they could bend or break.
My advice: you may be better off with a generic (zippered) 8"x10" case for your Tag Reader and its books. If you do decide to buy this one, do not let your kid handle it or it may not last for long.
A warning states that this product should not be used by children under 3 because of a 'hazardous pinch point when closing lid'. Good point.

Picked this case up in the store when we bought the Tag system. Paid $17 for it, but thought it was worth it because it looked like it contained the Ozzie & Mack book inside it. Misleading packaging! Have to read the fine print to see it doesn't include a book with it and we paid $17 for a plastic case. Feel ripped off, but I'm sure the case will come in handy, but it was definitely overpriced.Best Deals for Leapfrog Tag Storage Case - Pink
This storage case worked very well for us. Fits the pen and several books that would otherwise be tossed around the room. Our daughter is 4-1/2 and learning how to organize herself, so providing a tool that helps her with that task is terrific.Honest reviews on Leapfrog Tag Storage Case - Pink
We like the TAG case, ours is the pink one, which our daughter loves. The case is made out of a thick plastic, that will (we know this from experience) withstand the weight of a 40lb child standing on it, although I don't really recommend trying this out. The hinges come down from the top of the case, and slide into grooves on the bottom of the case, and yes, they pull apart if your kid is really yanking on it, but they pop right back in with no problem. The case holds six books plus has a little spot for the pen, which is nice, because otherwise it would rattle around in there. For us, it was a good purchase, we bought it for $14 and I feel like we got our money's worth. Yeah, you could just buy a zip pouch for it, that's true, but if it gets stepped on, or something spilled on it, you'll wish you'd sprung for the plastic case, because your TAG pen will be ruined, and that's no fun for anyone.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Leapfrog Tag Storage Case - Pink
I was hesitant because of some reviews stating it was poorly made, pinched fingers, was flimsy or difficult for little hands to use.My daughter is 3 and I find this item GREAT. She has no problem opening and closing the case, putting her books and TAG reader in. It keeps everything together and protected. She loves carrying it from place to place and having her books handy. We have found that we can fit 8 regular books in the case.
The only disadvantage we found is that she has a set of TAG cars that don't fit well in the case unless you want to take a bunch of books out.
