My ID badge fits snugly in the front compartment with no free space or rattling around...it will not fall out on it's own. Two molded-in plastic spring arms put light pressure against anything in the holder, so your stuff is secure when in there. It's also easy to see and read the badge through the clear front window, which keeps the supervisors and security personnel happy. Where I work, we're required to keep a signed, single-sheet (of paper) copy of "The Rules" with our badge (though not everyone does, dang it). I folded my copy to be the same size as my badge, and it ended up about as thick as two badges would be, maybe a bit thicker. "The Rules" fit perfectly in the rear compartment of the badge holder, and both the front and rear "eject" levers (see pictures in item description) work great to remove both the badge and "The Rules" from the holder, pushing them upward about a quarter-inch or so, enough to easily grab and pull out. The lanyard is a strong, soft, round, braided cord that is as comfortable as anything out there for people who need to wear it all day. It has a breakaway clasp which works good, and the push-in snap-clip, key ring and snap hook are good quality. The hexagonal "Specialist ID" slider can be adjusted up and down the line to snug the lanyard around your neck, arm or another object. This is a good product, well worth the money, and should stand up to years of daily use. Review: Great design and features - It’s great to be able to eject a card so easily. The lanyard is also well designed with a disconnect clip and slider. Much better than standard issue holders or a few others here on desertcart ## Features - RIGID & RUGGED POLYCARBONATE PLASTIC - Hard Plastic Vertical Format I.D.

The lanyard is also well designed with a disconnect clip and slider. Much better than standard issue holders or a few others here on Amazon ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Robust and functional *by D***R on May 30, 2021* Carrying around a photo-id and multiple CAC (Computer Access Cards) for work was a pain, but these make it easier. I have my primary photo-id in the clear front slot, and two of my CACs in the rear slot. The slide-actions on the back are easy enough to use and raise the cards up about 3/8" of an inch - or about 1/4" above the top of the holder frame. The frame is plastic and doesn't block the RFID reader that is in one of the cards - that makes entering rooms with those readers very convenient. My only concern is about the plastic "loop" on the frame that the lanyard connects to. The plastic is about 1/8" wide and is probably strong enough, but it's the only place that I can see these might break or fail over time. Still, for the price these are great holders - I bought two (one black, one blue) to help me remember which CACs I use where/when. I'll definitely buy them again if I need to. Update 2022-07-20: I've been using the same two I purchased a year ago and they are still going strong. The clue holding the clear side on let go but a small drop of super glue and it was repaired. My concern about the loop mentioned in the initial version of this post is unfounded; they continue to work well being worn and used daily at work. I've taken up buying one each time someone joins my team - a cheap and useful welcome gift that I know they'll use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Specialist ID Vertical Top Load Three Card Badge Holder - Hard Plastic with Heavy Duty Breakaway Lanyard w Quick Release Metal Clip & Key Ring (One Holder / 3 Cards Inside) (Black) - GOVO T4 Badge Holder/Wallet - Durable Polycarbonate ID/Credit Holder with Metal Clip and 4 Cards Slot (Holds 1to 4 Cards) Black - MNGARISTA Retractable Badge Holder, Heavy Duty Carabiner Keychain, Tactical ID Card Holder with 31.5" Retractable Badge Reel, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/20666993-vertical-top-load-three-card-badge-holder-hard-plastic-heavy](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/20666993-vertical-top-load-three-card-badge-holder-hard-plastic-heavy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-09-15*
