Comments about Addi Addi Circular Needle Case:
I loved the fact that I could put circular needles with long cables into one case without worry that they would fall out or the cables get tangled. I could also fit 2 needles in one sleeve. This is important because it is not possible to put an entire set of any one length of Addi circulars (ie 16" #0-17) in one case unless one doubles up the needles in each slot. Since I have 2 of each size (of 24" length).... use 2 circular needles to make socks, etc....I needed 2 cases to fit my needles for size #2-15. If I had the sizes smaller than 2 or larger than 15, I could not have fit them all in two cases. However, when there are two needles in each slot, especially with the larger sizes, the case bulges a great deal. Therefore,because the case does not have a closure, I had to use a rubber band to insure that the case stayed closed when stored. Since I just got my 3 cases, only time will tell how well they wear.
In general, if the knitter is not interested in storing all his/her Addi circulars (of any one size) in one case, or does not have a lot of the larger sizes (#10-17), this case will work just fine. I have a size 0 of the 16", 24", 32", 47", and 60" to be used as rescue needles when live stitches must be picked up after multiple rows must be removed. This case was perfect for storing these needles as the case closed easily and could be stored in another case nearby.

I was looking for a way to store my circular needles. I didn't like the storage units that hang on the back of a door or wall because I want to carry my circ's with me.I purchased this one made by skacel for the addi's. At the same time I also purchased the one by Della Que. The Della Que was very attractive. HOWEVER, it was very expensive!! I purchase my circ's in no less than 36 inch length. When I tried the Della Que case, the needle kept falling out.On to Addi Circular Case... It isn't exactly pretty. It is very cost effective. [$]. [...] The best part, the circ's stay put! Long length needles, addi turbo's, addi bamboo all fit perfectly. You can store more than one needle in each sleeve. I didn't. I used my label maker to make labels that fit on the vinyl sleeve. The labels remove easily so when you expand your collection, changing the label is a breeze. The top of the case itself has holes so you can loop on the split rings or in a binder. Those that don't like the curliness of the line should stay with door or wall display type. Function and affordability beat out the pretty of the Della Que. I purchased 2!. I can hardly wait for the next great thing I need to purchase on line because Alpaca Direct will be my first choice.

I purchased the Addi Circular Needle Case and one by Que. I returned the Que. Que was prettier than the Addi, however the needles slide out of the side pockets on the Que. Addi Circular Needle Case comfortably fits the addi needles regardless of size. The needles do not slide out. I used my label maker to label each of the sleeves. The Addi is cost effective as well.
The only draw back- I wish it was pretty.
