The 3D Organizer Cube from Tom Bihn made its way to my doorstep a little over a month ago. It came just in time for a little traveling that I had to do and, I have to say, is every bit as nice as every other product that I’ve had the pleasure of using from Tom Bihn.
To start, the 3DOC that I chose was Sangria Cerylon. What a fantastically rich and arresting colorway that makes one want to pick it up and inspect it even closer. And while you’re holding it, note the almost indescribable feel of the transparent urethane material used for the transparent side panels!
The first thought that came to mind when I felt the panels was that they were almost like skin. This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill transparent urethane. The softness of those panels is a little deceiving. They can easily stand up to the type of handling one associates with travel: grabbing, pulling, opening, closing, stuffing, bouncing, and being given a real once-over by various inspectors along the way.
Being intended for travel, the 3DOC does its job well. Its 3-1-1 TSA compliant design and strength of materials gives a sense of security that A) this organizer cube is going to hold up for a long time and B) the people who need to see what’s inside can see what’s inside without necessarily having to open it.
That said, opening the 3DOC isn’t crazy revealing, considering it’s transparency. What you see before you open it is what you’ll get. It features a hanger on the inside that allows one to hang it…
