I picked this up because, despite twenty years' practice, I still frequently roll dice off the table. I also lose dice underneath papers or amongst all the other clutter on the table. The Pathfinder Dice Tray has proven an elegant solution, as it stores flat but snaps up in a few seconds to make a durable rectangular box. It actually has saved me time during the session, as I'm less likely to have to search all over for my dice or chase them across the floor. My dice still sometimes tumble out, but I blame my low Dexterity score rather than the tray itself.
I did not even know these existed until I saw one at a Pathfinder game in the Sagamore ballroom. I picked one up at the Paizo booth the next morning and I love it. The product is very sturdy and its ability to fold down for storage is awesome. I will be picking up several of these for my home game.
I picked this up Thursday morning at GenCon and used it every game after that. This is a simple design and excellent to use. Good size, very portable and keeps dice contained as well as quiet when you roll them.
When stored flat it is about 10.5" x 8.25" x 1/8".
Hey folks, apologies for the delay in getting dimensions posted. I've added them in the description above—these are based on the widest parts of the assembled tray.
Mine is finally on the way, and I can't wait to try it out. It seems like a really great design for its use and I appreciate how clever it opens flat to make it convenient when stuffing in between printed materials. Chavamana had a great idea to improve the product by replacing the snaps with magnets, and I may try to rig something like this myself once I have the item in hand and check out this feasibility. I would love to know how durable a material the core is made of.
The tray design will keep all the bones from scattering, and the dark background will make reading rolled bones a cinch.
Is anyone else having trouble snapping their's, or getting it to stay snapped. Mine won't stay together, and the top right snap won't even go in all the way, no matter how hard I push.
