Two Squire boxes, one big decision
If you're shopping for a premium deck box that fits a double-sleeved Commander deck, the Squire 100+ XL Convertible and the Squire PLUS 100+ XL Convertible look similar at first glance. Both are extra-large Squire boxes from Gamegenic's Convertible line, both hold 100 double-sleeved cards, and both use the same convertible cover system that clips to the bottom during play. The real differences come down to card display, exterior finish, and price. This comparison sticks to what the catalog confirms so you can choose without guessing.
Capacity and card fit: nearly identical
- Squire 100+ XL Convertible: Holds 100 regular double-sleeved cards with extra space for tokens, or a Commander deck in thicker inner sleeves. Inner compartment measures 69 x 78 x 95 mm.
- Squire PLUS 100+ XL Convertible: Holds up to 100+ double-sleeved cards in extra-thick inner sleeves, or 100 regular double-sleeved cards plus token space. Product size is 85 x 100 x 102 mm.
The display difference: Slide Card Case vs open-box access
The Squire PLUS 100+ XL includes a detachable Slide Card Case that lets you show your Commander or top card without opening the box. The case provides UV protection and can be removed to use the card during gameplay. If you like keeping your commander visible for deck recognition or want a protected display card, this is the feature that sets the PLUS apart. The standard Squire 100+ XL Convertible does not include a Slide Card Case according to the supplied information; it focuses on the convertible cover and wide tilt options for card access.
Display and surface details from the catalog
- Magic: The Gathering SQUIRE PLUS 100+ XL CONVERTIBLE: Includes 1x Slide Card Case with additional UV protection; detachable and usable during gameplay. This is the clearest functional upgrade on the PLUS model if you want to display a Commander or top card without opening the box.

The PLUS is aimed at players who want artwork and a printed finish, not just a solid color.
- SQUIRE 100+ XL CONVERTIBLE: Nexofyber+ surface with microfiber inner lining. The standard Squire 100+ XL uses a solid-color exterior and microfiber lining, with no printed artwork mentioned.

Convertible system: same idea on both
Both boxes share Gamegenic's Convertible system: the lid is completely removable and clips to the bottom to save table space. The Squire 100+ XL Convertible instructions say to remove the lid, attach it to the bottom, or start tilting the box in various ways for access. The Squire PLUS 100+ XL also has a completely removable cover that clips to the bottom, plus strong magnets for secure closure. Neither box is confirmed to have a different magnet strength or closure mechanism beyond what's listed.
Size and compatibility notes
- SQUIRE 100+ XL CONVERTIBLE: Product size 78 x 96 x 104 mm; inner compartment 69 x 78 x 95 mm. These dimensions help you check whether the box fits your bag or storage space.
- Magic: The Gathering SQUIRE PLUS 100+ XL CONVERTIBLE: Product size 85 x 100 x 102 mm. The PLUS is slightly wider and deeper but a touch shorter than the standard XL, which may matter for tight storage.
- SQUIRE 100+ XL CONVERTIBLE: Sleeves from other brands may affect capacity/compatibility. Both boxes are optimized for Gamegenic sleeves; third-party sleeves can change how many cards fit.
- Magic: The Gathering SQUIRE PLUS 100+ XL CONVERTIBLE: Sleeves from other brands may affect capacity/compatibility. The same caveat applies to the PLUS, so sleeve brand is a factor for either box.
Color options and price
The Squire 100+ XL Convertible comes in 11 colors: teal-pink, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, green, blue, white, black, and sand. The Squire PLUS 100+ XL is listed with a single Spider-Man Green Goblin variant. Catalog prices are USD 17.49 for the standard XL (compared to USD 24.99) and USD 25.52 for the PLUS (compared to USD 36.99). If color choice matters, the standard XL offers far more variety; if you want the licensed artwork and Slide Card Case, the PLUS is the only option between these two.
Which Squire deck box should you buy?
Choose the Squire 100+ XL Convertible if you want a solid-color box with a wide range of color choices, need space for tokens alongside 100 double-sleeved cards, and don't need a built-in display case. Choose the Squire PLUS 100+ XL if displaying your Commander or top card without opening the box is important to you, you like the officially licensed artwork, or you want the detachable UV-protective Slide Card Case for gameplay. Both are designed for double-sleeved Commander decks, so your decision hinges on display features, exterior style, and budget rather than capacity.
