Specialist ID Vertical Top Load Three Card Badge Holder - Hard Plastic with Heavy Duty Breakaway Lanyard w Quick Release Metal Clip & Key Ring (One Holder / 3 Cards Inside) (Black)

This badge holder is solid, it keeps my School ID, and School Bus Driver ID Sec. badge safe, and working. The overall design is simple, and sleek. The slide buttons on the bottom corners on the black back side of the holder for easy removal of the cards is a super useful design. They are so well designed that they do not push my IDs out when I have the badge holder sandwiched between my coat, or hoodie and shirts. This holder does its job, and it does it right, nothing bad about it!

Great value for the excellent product. I love the safety release necklace. The ability to hold to badges is excellent.

Seems to be strong and durable for my TWIC card. Fits everytbing perfectly.

Used this dual proxy-card and ID holder for 5 years without issue. Functioned well. I liked that my ID was visible up front without having to fuss with it. I also like that it was easy to extract my proxy card for access control points using the rotating ejection slides.One minor issue was that my ID (front slot) has its own limited RFID signal that conflicted with the proxy card (rear slot), and prevented using the proxy card while in the case. Maybe if there was a RFID blocking film between the cards, I wouldn't have to remove the proxy card to scan. The fatal failure after 5 years was plastic fatigue of the loop where the lanyard connects (see photo). Perhaps if it had metal reinforcement, it would be more durable.

Live this lanyard, the ability to keep 3 easily accessible cards or ID’s in it is great. I have my work ID, my clock in card and my debit card in it while at work and they all stay secured. I have had 2 over the last 5 years. The second one I purchased a few months ago since I worn out the first one after about 4 years.

Easy removal of badges, solid build. I looked around and this is my favorite badge holder. Love how you can just remove the front or the back badge separately. I only use two badges but I could see it feasible for more. Get it if you are on the fence or just need a solid badge holder, even if it’s just for one.

Carrying around a photo-id and multiple CAC (Computer Access Cards) for work was a pain, but these make it easier. I have my primary photo-id in the clear front slot, and two of my CACs in the rear slot. The slide-actions on the back are easy enough to use and raise the cards up about 3/8" of an inch - or about 1/4" above the top of the holder frame.The frame is plastic and doesn't block the RFID reader that is in one of the cards - that makes entering rooms with those readers very convenient.My only concern is about the plastic "loop" on the frame that the lanyard connects to. The plastic is about 1/8" wide and is probably strong enough, but it's the only place that I can see these might break or fail over time.Still, for the price these are great holders - I bought two (one black, one blue) to help me remember which CACs I use where/when. I'll definitely buy them again if I need to.Update 2022-07-20: I've been using the same two I purchased a year ago and they are still going strong. The clue holding the clear side on let go but a small drop of super glue and it was repaired. My concern about the loop mentioned in the initial version of this post is unfounded; they continue to work well being worn and used daily at work. I've taken up buying one each time someone joins my team - a cheap and useful welcome gift that I know they'll use.

I will say that overall, I like this card/badge holder. It's very lightweight, easy to use, and very sturdy. I have been using it for the last 6 months without much issue until recently.There are two slots for the 3 card limit: The front slot, which has the clear plastic for one card, and the other back slot for two additional cards. The cards are released when the release button is slide for the appropriate slot (right button for the front, left button for the back).One word of caution: The secure hold of the back slot is dependent on the two cards being in at the same time. Once one is removed, the remaining card is very loose in its slot. It's so loose that I've had issues with the remaining card falling out. The last 3 days of trying to find where that remaining card slipped out to has been a pain, as I use the holder for work-related badges. Luckily I found the card, but like I said it took a while and found it just by chance in a drawer, off to the side.I had accepted the flaw for a while, as I usually saw the remaining card fall out and knew to pick it up right away. Unfortunately the latest incident has made me decide to purchase a different one with a spring to help hold any remaining card. I do recommend this if you are not removing the cards in the back slot too often or if they're easily replaceable, such as business cards, as it's inexpensive and sturdy. If you are using it for items like credit cards or identification, I would spend a little more money on an item with spring inside to secure those type of items.
