They are expensive but it seemed very robust. However, it was a cylinder - which meant that it was very hard to fit things in and things were forced into shape a little! Particularly because everything was in polyester pockets. It was quite interesting trying to think what to put it - there are very few things where the technology wont be redundant in the future (probably about 5 years time!) or you have much hope of the object surviving e.g. newspapers and magazines.
