First I'd like to acknowledge that I realize, or I discovered from trial and error, that pill cases are something that should be chosen by the person who will be filling them and administering the medicine/pills, because there are numerous different kinds, sizes, and styles and each one is good for different reasons. It's a very personal item, and everyone will like or hate certain types for their own, very good reasons.This review is for the 3XL but the general features and quality of the product should hold true to any size of this exact design (EZY Dose brand XL, 2XL, 3XL).
SHORT & SWEET REVIEW - If you want the short & sweet version of my review, know that I chose this one because it was easy to fill, easy to handle, easy to dispense, had the number of days I wanted, was the size I needed in overall dimensions as well as the size of each compartment, is stackable, and it did not pop open when it should not. If you want a more in depth review, see below.
FULL REVIEW
I purchased the EZY Dose 3XL for $4.29 in 2011 and I'm very happy I did. I rarely recommend something that's a bit more expensive. I only do if the item is much better in quality than cheaper ones and therefore worth the extra money. I purchased others that were cheaper, and had to return them. The biggest problems I had with other designs were the compartments popping open when moved or if something accidently touched it, ease of opening and closing compartments, ease of dispensing (pouring out the contents), and size (holding enough pills).
> DIMENSIONS OF THE 3XL SIZE:
To give you an idea of how many pills the EZY Dose 3XL will hold - I measured it by filling one compartment with water and found it holds 2 fluid ounces (2/3 of a 3 oz bathroom Dixie cup). So, to know if your pills will all fit, put your pills in a 3 oz Dixie cup and if your pills don't fill up the cup more than 2/3, you should have no problem. That's the easiest way to know, if you can't test it first (when you buy online). See below for exact dimensions of the 3XL. See our photo above for a comparison with two other pill organizers.
The total outer dimensions are 11" long, 2 5/16" deep (including levers and hinges), 1 5/16" tall (including the little brail nodes).
The inner dimensions of each compartment are 1.5" wide, 2 1/16" deep (front to back), and just under 1 /18" tall (bottom to top). And again, as I mentioned above, the volume is 2 oz liquid measure. But of course you do not want to put liquids in it, that's just to give you an idea of the size of the compartment. I put 22 pills of various sizes in one compartment and it's only 3/4 full. I wanted it to be this large because I might have more pills to take in the future and wanted the "room to grow", plus if you try to stuff too many into any case you can make it pop open just by over loading it, stuffing it too full. I can easily put another 10 to 15 pills in the EZY Dose 3XL (for a total of nearly 40 pills) without any problem.
POST NOTE 4-8-13, REGARDING SIZE: Today I noticed this ad no longer gives the choice of the 3XL size but only offers the "Jumbo" and "2XL" sizes. However, the 2XL is currently described in this ad as approximately 9"L x 2"W x 1"D in size and the "Jumbo" is currently described as being approximately 11"L x 2.4"Wx 1"D. If this is true it would mean the "Jumbo" is larger than the "2XL" and nearly the same size as the 3XL I have. So that means either the "Jumbo" described here is in fact the 3XL size or the description of the "Jumbo" here is incorrect. Either way, for this ad, I highly recommend you contact the seller first to confirm the outer dimensions of the product you order.
> SECURE, STAYS CLOSED, EASY OPEN:
I had purchased other pill organizers but they were smaller and none of the other simple basic holders I tested held the pills securely and simply, without popping open, without having to fumble with special levers (I'm referring to the plain style, not the lockable, which can be confusing on Amazon since some photos are incorrect), without the extra space special levers and markers took up. I wanted simple, compact but large (but only 7 days), and secure, and that's what I got with this EZ Dose 3XL design.
I placed this in my larger bag (purse) in a realistic walk from my home to my car and shopping all day and had no problem with it popping open. I also tossed it and dropped it onto my counter several times (with and without pills in it) and it never popped open like others did. But I do not recommend tossing this (or any product like it) loosely, without care, into any bag. It's not made for that. It's made for sitting on a counter, a table, or in a drawer. Personally, if I knew I was going to bring it with me in a bag (purse) every day I'd slide it into an umbrella cover, just to be sure. I have several umbrella covers with no use, since I never put them back on my umbrellas once I take it off the first time so I'm happy to find a great use for them anyway.
> STACKABLE:
Another great feature that I noticed only after I bought it is the tiny nodes on the bottom (at the corners) which fit into tiny holes in the top of another, making more than one securely stackable on top of each other. I was surprised to find this feature since the nodes and matching holes that allow secure stacking are barely noticeable. I found them by accident. But when I realized I could securely stack these I loved them even more.
> HAS BRAILLE MARKINGS which are easy to read (feel).
> THIS DESIGN IS RECOMMENDED, EVEN IF MONTHLY PILL ORGANIZING IS NEEDED:
Lastly, for those of you who hate the boring and tedious chore of preparing pills every day like I do, and want to use a pill organizer that has many more compartments, I do NOT recommend the kind with a sliding plastic lid like this Ezy Dose Four-a-day Weekly Maxi-pharmadose Medication Organizer or this EZY Dose Four-A-Day Weekly Practidose Medication Organizer. I have one like this, and it's very difficult (especially if you have dexterity problems) to pour the pills out and not have them end up all over the counter or floor. It's just very awkward to pour them out. If you insist on using a larger pill organizer that holds more than 7 days or has more than 7 compartments, make sure the organizer allows you to remove one row or one compartment at a time from the entire case. It should lift out, so you can easily open the compartment and pour the pills out into your hand (or a cup for a patient), similar to this one: Ezy Dose Large Four a Day Weekly, One Day At a Time Medication Organizer. But after using this 3XL EZY Dose dispenser every day for over a year, as well as smaller ones for other purposes, I can say I still love the 3XL EZY Dose dispenser and recommend it even for those who want to prepare a month or more of pills in advance. Since they are securely stackable (and don't pop open if it does topple over) I recommend buying as many as you need and stacking up to 3 or 4 high - much better than any other monthly system I've found. Unfortunately as of today's date the 3XL is no longer available through this exact listing but I'm hoping to find it elsewhere on Amazon since this design and the 3XL size is so hard to find in any local store (and I looked in several states during trips)..... Just found this, it appears to be what I bought at about the same price:
JUMBO 7 Day Pill Box- 2 pack
~
As I mentioned above, I was looking for a very simple, easy to read, easy to open, easy to handle, clear, 7 day pill case that would hold a large amount of pills and hold them securely, without popping open. This was the largest and best I found that held 7 days. I looked online and in stores in my area. I did not buy my first 2 from Amazon, but now that I know they have them at a reasonable price that I can afford, I'll be buying more because I find preparing my daily pills to be boring, annoying, and monotonous and I want to be able to prepare 4 to 8 weeks of pills at one time, so I'll be buying at least 4 to 6 more through Amazon this time (so I don't have to drive to the one store I finally found that carries this). I have Amazon Prime free shipping privileges, so that's a plus too. If you want to know how to get Amazon Prime free shipping, just ask me.
Highly recommended if you want secure function along with a simple, clear, easy open, large, nothing busy looking, fancy or complicated design. But as I mentioned above, I highly recommend, before making your purchase, that you look closely at the many different kinds of pill organizers there are available to you here at Amazon and in your local stores, and make sure you get the one that's best for you. You have many choices, which is rare these days.
Wishing you all Good Health, Happiness, and Prosperity
