Shock Doctor Mouthguard Case Shock Doctor

★★★★☆ This mouth guard case has some great features. I wanted a hard case for my mouth guard that I could just leave in my gym bag and forget about after games. I didn't want to have to worry about it getting stinky or moldy or getting crushed by my other gear. Additionally, I wanted something I knew I couldn't loose -- something idiot-proof. Below is a list of what I've found most useful. And feel free to take a look at my attached photos.1) The case is really, really heavy duty. You know those infomercials where they have, like, five sumo wrestlers sit on something to demonstrate its indestructability? Well, this case comes pretty darn close. Even when a team bus is loaded up with two-dozen bags on top of mine, I know the case will come out just fine.2) Ventilation. Several strategically placed ventilation slots allow the contents to breath. That way, if you put a saliva-coated or otherwise wet mouth guard inside and leave it there unopened for days, the mouth guard will dry out without becoming moldy and stinky. That is a major advantage of this product; trust me, I know from past experience! (A quick aside: the manufacturer claims that the case is made of antibacterial material. I don't know about that. They offer no specifics other than "antibacterial." Who knows, maybe it's true. In any case, I've never had any odor problems since I began using it.)3) The case has a built-in carabiner doohickey that allows you to secure it onto any kind of hook or strap in your bag. (See attached photos.) I take full advantage of the feature. And more than a year later I haven't lost it.4) The relatively large size of the case means it can easily be used for orthodontic retainers of nearly any shape and size. (See attached photos.) Those things are expensive, and the advantages I listed above would give you or your child a very good chance of not losing or damaging an expensive piece of orthodontic equipment.5) The product is Made in the USA.All in all an excellent product at this price point.

★★★★★ I purchased this to hold my Shock Doctor 3300 Max Air Flow Lipguard. I wasn't sure if it would fit so I asked the question here and was told by one of the sellers "we do not know of any reason why it would not," so I ordered it. The lipguard does fit though the case squashes it down when it's closed. Since the guard is made of soft silicone I'm sure that's not a problem.For anyone wondering what mouthguards this case fits there's a list of Shock Doctor brand mouthguards that it works with on the back of the packaging.- Custom- Nano 3D- Nano 3D Lower- Nano Double- Gel Nano- Gel Max- Ultra Braces- Braces- Soccer STC- Baseball/Softball STC- Basketball STC- Gravity 2 STCAs far as the design of the case goes, I like it. There's a slot in the front for the tether to slit stick out through. The case is ventilated so the guard dries. I find the latch to be secure even with the guard pushing against it (despite what some other reviewer's have said about it opening easily). The carabiner is very handy. My only complaints are the hinge and the place for your name, phone, and team. Given the price of the case the hinge seems inadequate, it's just a thinner piece of plastic and not a real hinge – I'm not sure how long it will last. The ID area on the back is just the words "name;," "phone:," and "team:" followed by a line embossed into the plastic. It's not a material you can write on (even with a Sharpie). I would've been better off if it had just been flat so I could use a label maker and stuck my name on it that way.Other than those two complaints I'm happy with it and would buy it again.

★★★☆☆ Bought this for my daughter's retainer, the hole in the bottom is pretty large and when she was walking with it clipped to her bag one of the retainers fell out! Good thing we heard it drop or we would have had to get a new pair. This case is really meant for the larger mouth guards used in sporting activities, not for retainers.
