Two Casual Deck Boxes, Two Approaches to Storage
If you're looking for a simple, affordable way to protect and organize your trading card deck, both the Deck Holder 80+ and the Soft Crate 80+ are solid options. They share a similar capacity—up to 80 double-sleeved cards—but they serve slightly different needs. The Deck Holder 80+ is a no-frills box that focuses on basic protection and labeling, while the Soft Crate 80+ adds a separate token box and a click-lock mechanism for extra organization. Here's how they compare so you can decide which one fits your play style.
Key Differences at a Glance
- Capacity and card protection: Both boxes hold up to 80 double-sleeved cards, optimized for Gamegenic Sleeves. The Deck Holder 80+ uses a self-locking flap with Cobra Neck technology that opens up to 180° for easy access. The Soft Crate 80+ also uses Cobra Neck technology and includes a Flex Card Divider, but its main difference is the integrated token box with a smart click-lock mechanism.
- Extra storage: The Soft Crate 80+ includes a separate token box that can hold dice, counters, or other small accessories. The Deck Holder 80+ does not have this extra compartment—it's a single deck box with a write-on strip for labeling.
- Labeling and customization: The Deck Holder 80+ comes with a handy write-on strip so you can mark the box with a deck name or identifier. The Soft Crate 80+ does not mention a write-on strip in its features, though it does include a Flex Card Divider.
- Price: The Deck Holder 80+ is the more budget-friendly option at a catalog comparison price of USD 2.49, compared to the Soft Crate 80+ at USD 7.99. This makes the Deck Holder a good choice if you just need basic storage without extra compartments.
What Each Box Offers
- DECK HOLDER 80+: The Deck Holder 80+ is a casual deck box to safely protect up to 80 double-sleeved cards. Its self-locking flap closure can be opened by up to 180° thanks to Cobra Neck technology. Includes a write-on strip and one Flex Card Divider. This box is ideal if you want a simple, low-cost solution for storing a single deck with easy access and the ability to label it.
DECK HOLDER 80+ - Magic: The Gathering SOFT CRATE 80+: The Soft Crate 80+ combines a Commander-size deck box with an integrated token box, both with a smart click-lock mechanism. It holds up to 80 double-sleeved cards (or up to 100 single-sleeved cards) and includes a Flex Card Divider. This box is better if you play Commander or other formats where you need to carry tokens, dice, or a sideboard alongside your main deck.

Which One Should You Choose?
Pick the Deck Holder 80+ if you want a straightforward, affordable deck box for a single deck and don't need extra storage for tokens or accessories. Its write-on strip makes it easy to organize multiple decks. Choose the Soft Crate 80+ if you often play Commander or other formats where you need to bring tokens, dice, or a sideboard. The integrated token box with click-lock keeps everything secure in one compact sideloading case. Both boxes are made from polypropylene and are acid-free, so your cards stay protected over time. Just remember that capacity is optimized for Gamegenic Sleeves—sleeves from other brands may affect how many cards fit.
