Today I have a review and comparison of all available Bundle Monster stamping plate holders, organizers and clutches, 4 different types.
If you are in Europe they also are available from Pretty Polish!
First my beloved faux leather Bundle Monster clutches for the 6 x 12 cm plates with or without plastic backing.
They come in a steel grey and a cobalt blue with crocodile print.
They have room for 48 plates in the size 6 x 12 cm.
They have 8 pages with 3 slots on each side = 6 slots per page.
They have a 3 snap fold over closure.
They measure approximately 23.3 x 18 cm when closed.
I have 3 of them so far, and I love how sturdy and absolutely lovely they are to use!
The plastic is easy to see through, and I have plates from Bundle Monster, MoYou London, Born Pretty Store, Infinity Nails, Messy mansion and Pueen in them + a number of different brands without plastic backings.
For the smaller plates:
The faux leather peony pink organizer holds 168 plates (yes that IS a lot) in the standard 5.6 cm round or square plate size.
Each page has 6 slots on each side, so that's 12 plates per page, and there are 16 pages.
It has a fold over closure, nice and sturdy!
It is super easy to use in every thinkable way, and it's also very easy to see through the plastic pockets, so you quickly can find, what you are looking for.
It also has a mesh pocket for scrapers, vinyls, stickers or similar...
Another solution for the smaller plates:
Bundle Moster also have an almost identical organizer (168 plates in the standard 5.6 cm round or square plate size) that is closed with a zipper going all the way round, so there is absolutely no risk of plates slipping out of their slots, not matter how you turn it around.
This one is currently only available from Bundle Monster and only in black.
For the smaller collection of 6 x 12 cm plates:
This cute little faux leather hot pink clutch has room for 16 plates in the size 6 x 12 cm with or without plastic backing.
It has 8 pages with each 2 slots and it closes with a snap fold over.
It measures approximately 15 x 10 cm.
As you probably know some brands has a little bigger plastic backing on their plates, and for instance plates from Marianne Nails have both kinds, so I have one with the bigger backing in one slot of each page, and one with the smaller/normal backing on the other side of the page, this way the fit isn't too tight.
I also use it for 6 x 12 plates without plastic backings, I feel they are less prone to fall out of these slots compared to the bigger clutch with the horizontal opening.

Conclusion:
I have absolutely only pros - no cons whatsoever...
I have very many plates, and it would be a nightmare if they weren't organized so that I easily can see what plates I have - and more importantly: find them.
And it really is easy, these Bundle Monster plate holders/clutches open like a book and I can quickly go trough the pages and easily see the patterns because the plastic is both sturdy and easy to see through - unlike many other plate holders I have seen.
And it most certainly doesn't make it less nice to have them organized in beautiful, sturdy and nice to work with clutches/holders like the ones from Bundle Monster - it actually makes stamping more effortless and fun, at least for me, but then again, I am a gear and gadget geek, I know :D
Speaking of which: did you see the review of the MoYou London plate holder? If not it's right
