This case can be summed up in that one word. It is made of a robust molded plastic, including quality clasps, and has room for everything in the SC-750 (and everything in its place), plus some room to spare. I highly recommend this item for anyone who has an aspiring electrical/electronics apprentice at home. My seven-year-old son as able to load up the entire contents of his SC-750 (including all books, CDs, etc) plus the contents of his four-year-old SC-100 with absolutely no problem at all. In other words, it all comfortably fits.

The one weakness I can see with the case is the longevity/integrity of the foam insert tray. The parts that store below it are popular (at least, they are in my house!), so it may not hold up to the frequent use it is bound to receive. A stabilizing armature would likely serve that part of the kit very well.

One final note is that the price on this item varied widely (between ~$36 and ~$55) over the few months I was watching it. I ended up purchasing for $38 and change. At that price, I feel it is a good value.

This case was essential for our 6 year-old, to go along with his kit, Snap Circuits Extreme. He takes his snap circuits with him whenever we travel, and now he has a place to store every component in one handy case. Definitely worth the money.

The case is of average quality. Insert feels wobly. The bottom compartment is a little warped, so it takes some effort, pushing and bending to get the grid plate stored. The case looks better on the pictures. The box is too expensive, compared to the average design, cheap materials and sloppy assembly and finishing.

I had to buy it, because the box of our Elenco set arrived damaged, and was not usable for storing the parts anymore. I would not recommend this case to any of my friends.

Honest reviews on Elenco Custom Storage Case (SC-750)

Gave this case to my grandson to place all his Snap Circuits in that he received for Christmas. Everything fit perfectly and this case is well made. Much easier to carry the circuits around in this case than the flimsy box they originally arrived in.

Good purchase.

I have always been a fan of the Snap Circuits, however, the packaging they come in does not provide the durability I need for a science center that serves 170 students. I had long ago discarded the original box and flimsy case and placed the materials in a plastic bin. However, the students had a tough time finding the components they need to build certain projects, and some fragile pieces (especially the capacitors) broke because they were not properly stored. Even when I had the original box and plastic package, the parts were not put away properly.

This case has made all the difference. Having the snap circuits in a durable, organized case has made it easier for students to find what they need, and to put things away where they belong. My hope is that I will need to replace fewer components because they are protected, rather than dumped in a plastic bin. So far, after about four weeks, this has proven to be true.

When I put the snap circuits in the case, and offered it as a work in my Montessori classroom, the students were more drawn to them than they were before. I am spending less time helping them find components, and I don't have to manage the cleanup as closely.
