I read some of the reviews and I decided to risk it.
This item is interesting. All of the reviews are true; good reviews and bad reviews. The problem with the rear section for AA batteries isn't that big of a deal. I read the bad reviews and decided to see if I could fix it if I got one that had a problem. Mine had the problem, and turns out, you can fix it fairly easily. As I thought, the engineering on the back isn't wrong, it just isn't assembled well. I popped the tray out and found that what keeps it from seating correctly is also what is supposed to hold it together; the glue. I dug the glue/fitting out of each of the holes and put it back together, and then the batteries fit fine. You can chose to either glue it or not, and it works great. NOW, it's probably the best thing out there to hold your batteries, and a lot of them. If you don't glue it together, you can also slip other flat batteries into the space behind the tray, which is also handy. Update: Still working great. I did notice something the other day in relation to the rear section and AA batteries. I usually just use Duracell batteries. Sometimes I may buy something that has batteries, and I keep them to give away, but I don't usually use anything but duracell. So I put some off brand batteries in the rear section, and they're a hair bit too long. So they stick up a little and won't let the lid close. Maybe there's another problem here that I missed. Anyone else noticed this?
