Five Star Locker Organizer, Tri-Pocket with Dry Erase Surface, White with Cobalt Blue Pockets (72622)

  Great Organizer, Not Necessarily Great for What It Is Designed For...

I like this locker organizer for its very strong magnet and the idea that it is completely made out of a dry erase board like material so that any of the white can be written on with a dry erase board marker and then erased (mostly, about 99% of it comes off, kind of like on a white board).

But, the fact that it is so hard makes it less valuable as a locker organizer, especially if you put it inside of a door that is going to be slammed like the picture on the packaging shows. The big "pocket" is clearly designed to hold a calculator or a cell phone and those would just bang around in the organizer and those devices tend to dislike a lot of banging around. I recommend not putting it on the door, despite the strong magnet.

On the other hand, if this were to be used for just about any other place where you need to hold a few things, such as holding markers on a refrigerator, holding pens or small frequently used tools on a big toolbox this would be an excellent choice.

This organizer measures 7 inches x 7.5 inches and is about 1 inch deep.

I rate this organizer 4 stars out of 5.
