Great for car or office.
This is a good quality first aid kit that is small enough to go into a glove compartment on a car, or a desk drawer at work, but big enough to hold all the basics. It comes with genuine Band-Aid brand bandages, and is big enough to add a tube of Neosporin and a roll of Nexcare Waterproof Tape to, and still close securely. Highly recommended.

Perfect
Just what I wanted. A small yet durable travel first aid kit for the car. It has just enough stuff for emergencies. Small and compact and worth the money.

Great little first aid kit for the car or sports bag
I bought these for my kids sports bags as there always seems to be a need for band aids or the likes. I should have gotten one just a hair smaller, but this works. It’s got just what you need for car; travel; boat; sports bags...and accident prone kids.

Great Kit
The case is a little bigger than I was anticipating, but it’s perfect for my car. With active, adventurous kids, it’s nice to have all the necessities handy.

Great Starter Kit, Needs Some Tweaks
tl;dr: This is a great starter kit for basic first aid needs. I gave this 4 stars because the kit leaves out things I feel are essential to have if you're on the go (which it's marketed as), but this is a 5 star kit for home use. Lots of BandAids, but lots of variety+it's cheaper than buying individual boxes of what you get inside.Long Version:This is a great first aid kit if you're looking for something to keep around for small cuts and scrapes. However, I removed some things and add others in order to make it more useful for my needs. I keep one on my bike/transfer it to my suitcase when I travel, and I take it with me when I do stuff outside. I keep one in my car too.Pros:- It doesn't take up much space in your bag and it's light weight. The case itself is pretty durable. I travel a TON for work and this kit has traveled thousands of miles around the world in a backpack or a suitcase and still looks like new.- There are dividers (permanent ones, you can't move them) in the case so all of your stuff isn't sliding around.- Includes Neosporin and some foil packets of Tylenol.- Includes gauze (which is shockingly rare in smaller first aid kits for some reason).Cons:- So many BandAids. If you manage to get through all of these at once, I hope you're on your way to an ER.- I'd have liked an assortment of foil packets with Advil/Tylenol...maybe even some antacid.- Generally, I just felt this kit was missing some essentials.I felt the kit was missing:- More sterilization stuff. There are not nearly enough alcohol wipes in this thing if you want to clean your hands or a wound each time you get hurt (which you should definitely be doing ;D).- More variety of medication. I bought some foil packets of Advil, Claritin, and Aspirin to keep in here in addition to the Tylenol.- Antacid. Heartburn during rush hour sucks. Extremely useful for bug bites and stings -- crush up, add water to make a paste, dab on bite/sting.- Gloves! Even if you only plan on using this kit on yourself, you should always have gloves just in case.- Tweezers and scissors. Tweezerman makes mini versions of their tweezers and brow scissors. They're expensive, but this is not the sort of thing you want to skimp on -- nothing sucks more than having a splinter you can't remove because your tweezers are cheap.- Medical tape. It took a while to find something I could fit in this kit, but 3M makes perforated medical tape so you can tear off a few squares and keep them in here. This specific tape is NOT sterile but you might be able to find one that is if you're worried about taping wounds.I also added a few things most people probably don't need, but they've been used at least once so they're staples of my kit now:- Steri Strips for larger wounds. As a cyclist these are great to have on hand for deeper cuts. I've used these while hiking too.- Ear plugs. These have come in handy so many times, particularly when I was trying to sleep in hotels. (I specifically have Leight Sleepers -- they're great for sleeping)- Quikclot/clotting agent. I get the Quikclot pads which don't actually fit in the kit itself, but I strap one on there with some rubber bands. You can get powdered clotting agents that will fit in the case.- I also replaced some of the regular BandAids with ActivFlex ones as these seem to hold up better on blisters and joints. They also don't get soggy if you get them wet which is something that irritates me lol.- A condom. Not so much for the hanky panky, but because you can create a tourniquet with it or use it to cover a bandaged wound to keep water/dirt out. Probably only useful if you're outdoorsy or regularly find yourself in the mood while also in close proximity to your first aid kit for some reason.- A small tampon. This is great as a backup if you need it, but tampons are EXCELLENT for bleeding wounds (which I'm sure no one is surprised to hear). Make sure this is a sterile tampon as not all of them are guaranteed to be sterile. I've also tossed a maxi pad in here for the same reason, but the lid is hard to close if you have a pad sitting on top of the dividers.I gave this 4 stars because of the sheer amount of BandAids it contains and the things it leaves out (mainly gloves+more wipes). There are various sizes and types which is nice, but the space these things take up is considerable and it doesn't leave room for much else. I tweaked the contents to be a bit more well-rounded, but please note this adds considerable cost to this kit. I paid ~$9 for the kit, probably ~$30+ on missing essentials, and another $30+ on things that were specific to my needs, but all of the things I added are quality things I know will hold up -- you could probably do it for less if you shop around. However, this kit is still smaller (and cheaper!) than most kits I saw with all of the things I wanted. The stuff it comes with is quality name-brand stuff and that makes a HUGE difference.If you're on the fence about this kit, it's worth buying just for all of the BandAids, but you will definitely want to adjust the contents if you plan to keep this anywhere but at home.General note: If you have a first aid kit, you should inspect it every few months to make sure that it has everything you need. If you use something in it, make sure to replace it sooner rather than later.

A little of everything
Perfect for traveling or just the medicine cabinet. Has a little bit of everything for minor cuts, scrapes and inconveniences. Fast shipping. We keep some in our emergency bags as well.

Nice kit.
Nice little first aid kit for car or boat. It seems very water-resistant and is well-stocked. It's not bulky, yet has the basics. It clamps in all four sides with metal clamps. The size is very appropriate for a motor vehicle or small boat.

Good Little Kit
Ok, it's not an IFAK nor is it meant to take care of EVERY possible injury you could sustain. However, it's a good little kit to keep in your vehicle and if you want to go on a day hike you can add a few things and be confident that you'll be ok.
