Fiberbilt cases are pricey but are a good value in the long run. They are lightweight and very durable. Adorama seems to have the best prices on these great cases. Thanks

This is a very sturdy case. It holds 16X20 prints, but only just. Used for a print competition and with the ribbons attached to the corners (paper thin, diagonal wraps at lower left and upper right) the prints were difficult to fit back in the case. Also, in the photo it shows a 3rd strap going across the case in the long dimension, but there are really only 2 straps going in the short dimension. Those are more than adequate though.

It protects my prints when I ship them but the inner cardboard lining came loose after a while and it's tough to get tape to stick to it for shipping labels etc. Since it's PPA approved I will continue to use and recommend it - just be aware that you need to use lots of tape to make sure the label stays on.

This is very solid case to carry/ship prints competition. Plenty of room for few prints. Only downside it didn't come with padding so I have to find padding to separate prints. Overall, it is very good and well worth the money spent.

It took me a lot of research to find a case that would be PPA approved that would safely get my competition prints to competition and back. I used this to send my 16x20" prints. It was a snug fit and I was able to place some padding for extra protection. I have not received my prints back yet, so I will come back to update my review if I have any learnings from the return shipping experience. The case is well built. The corners are well reinforced with metal edges. Inside there is a layer of corrugate. They could have used some thicker material for increased impact resistance, especially when shipping the case without an outer box. The top lid closes well, but for some reason the sides are bulging out, and it worries me that the sides may be susceptible to water or elements to crawl into the case under bad conditions. Having another strap to go across would have eliminated this issue. I just used another belt to go across to take care of this issue. Hope it will work.

I needed a case for shipping my competition prints and this was perfect.

Protects prints as advertised. I would have given it 5 starts except: 1) the cardboard on the inside of one of the panels came off (it's glues on) so re-applying some glue will easily fix and 2) the outside of the case doesn't really allow a shipping label plastic bag to stick well - it peels off easily.

Nice fit for images, not too snug. Straps snug up the exterior of the case well.

I used it to handcarry prints to a competition, so I haven't used it for shipping. It was everything I expected it to be. It is very well made so I'm sure it will hold up to shipping very well

Works well, a little pricey for what it is.

Tough and rugged and built to last. Used in traveling photo salon and shipped from club to club. Protects photos very well and can hold up to 25 16x20" prints matted or with backing.

20 clubs in the Northwest have a "Traveling Photo Salon" where each club judges the photos of other clubs. This case works perfect for shipping and protection.

Does what it is designed for. The only problem I had with it was that one side of the cardboard case on the inside had come unglued from the case itself. Glued it back myself with silicone and everything is fine.

Great for sending up to four 16x20's in for print competition

Too large for 16 x 20 competition prints and poorly made. Very flimsy.

I priced three different sources for a Print Case, and this suited me the best. I don't plan on many years of competing, so I didn't need to pay double for plush protection. This choice was perfect for me.

I bought this to send my prints to a print competition. When I got it, I had to rush order another one b/c the first was already falling apart. There was no place to slide in the address label, so I had to tape it to the outside. :( There was nothing on the case indicating the brand, and I'm pretty sure they sent me a generic brand.

This is a good size case to carry 4 16x20 prints and it's accepted by PPA for print competition. It only needs a pocket to put your info during shipping.

I purchased two of these cases for our camera club. We have monthly photo competitions and we use them to send our winning large photo prints to regional competition. Hopefully they will hold up, as well as the smaller cases have, on the monthly round trips through the U.S. Postal Service. [...]

Great case, it could use a better surface to place shipping lables on, all surfaces are testured finished and ups and Fedex lables don't stay as good as I would like, Great case for mailing out prints....
