 Good to measure out suppliments!Nov 09, 2010
By Andrew A. Russell
I purchased these to measure powered supplements for Pre-workout, Post-workout and bedtime. They made great grab-n-go packets to mix with grape juice. I filled them with Tang, HMB Calcium, Acetyl L-Carnatine, L-Taurine, L-Argaine A-Ketoglutarate (AAKG), L-Gluatime and creatine monohydrate. They were worked perfectly for 90 days (180 packets).
I later found a number of other uses (like carrying AAA batteries in Mexico), storing headphones so cords don't tangle, and packaging USB cables. It's surprising how many uses you can come up with if you have these laying round. During an office move, I packaged up most of the lose items (paper clips, pins, etc) from my desk using these. My wife uses them to pack jewelery for vacation trips so necklaces don't tangle and she can sort out sets of things.
My MP3 player even fits in one... and I used them to pack 3oz toiletries in my carry-on bags to avoid accidental leakage.
I guess the point is... these are good little zip-lock bags. They don't cost much, and you'll eventually find 101 uses for them if you keep your eyes open.

Uber cheap!Nov 09, 2010
By Sean
Great for scrapping jewelry! No two will weigh the same though, so use your head!
They're pretty good quality for what they are. They don't break very easily and you can slide them open without them falling apart.

Fast shipping, great little bagsFeb 10, 2010
By R & the triplet's Grandma
Zip lock bags exactly as described. I used them to package a lot of costume jewelry (and other small things) for a yard sale. Put the item in the bag, close it, staple it shut and add a price tag. Could be stapled to a board also. Kept earrings together, chains from getting tangled, etc and helped prevent "walking" of items.
Update: No need to staple the bag shut (the zipper works fine) unless you are using it for something like I did - a yard sale where items can sometimes walk. Just finished a 3-day yard sale and they worked great for small jewelry items.

Resealable Zipper Shipping Bags 3" x 4"Jul 22, 2009
By Cat Guy

I ordered these in addition to the smaller 2x2 bags, and was quite pleased. I will definitely get these again, especially with the free shipping. My bracelets and other items fit perfectly. The bags don't have a cheap feel like you find with some other types.

 Not 2 mil and Not 3" x 4"Jan 26, 2012
By SuperC142
When I took these out of the box, the first thing that struck me was how surprisingly-thin they are. At the time of this review, the product description says these use plastic that is 2 mil thick. I don't have a reliable/accurate way to measure one bag, but I decided that I should be able to stack up about 100 bags or so, measure them with a ruler, and do some simple math to determine the thickness of each bag. It wouldn't be exact, but it would be close.
A stack of 100 of these bags is roughly 5.5 mm thick. Google tells me that 5.5 mm is 216 mil. 216 divided by 100 is 2.16. Obviously, each bag has two layers of plastic, so I divide by 2 and that tells me that each layer of plastic is about 1 mil. I was right; the plastic used in these bags is half as thick as advertised. As part of this order, I also ordered these: 500 CLEAR Reclosable Zipper Bag. 2'' x 3'' - 2 mil thick and they are as thick as I was expecting.
Also, the product description describes these as being 3 inches by 4 inches. They're not. They're 3 inches wide, but they're not 4 inches tall. The distance from the bottom of the bag to the zipper is 3.5 inches. If you measure all the way to the top (past the zipper), it's about 3.9 inches. However you want to measure it, it's not 4 inches. My expectation was that distance between the bottom of the bag and the bag's zipper would be 4 inches (I wanted the usable, internal area to be 3" x 4").
I gave these 2 stars instead of 1 because the zipper is decent and I don't think the bags will come apart at the seams. Basically, if these had been advertised as being 1 mil thick and 3" x 3.5", I would have given them 5 stars. If you don't care about the measurements very much and don't care that these are super-thin, I'd say go for it. If you do care about these things, I'd suggest for you to steer clear.
