Recommendations on packing cube brands, sizes, and combinations that would fit? Seems everyone recommends these cubes but I never tried them.

Packing cubes are great, I use them all the time. A 17x12 garmet folder will fit nicely in the bag as will 2 of the 14x10 sizes with smaller ones tucked in around the edge. It's had to give an exact number that you can fit as it depends on how full you pack them and how tight you cram them in. Well worth trying. If you haven't tried a garmet folder, they're great.

As a family, we own 6 of each size, made by eBags(slim, small, medium, and large). The Porter will easily fit 2 of each. When buying the 3-pack, remember the slim is not included. We used them traveling abroad as well as for extended domestic travel. This is a fantastic pack efficiently and reduce wrinkling.

Well I have experienced a couple different situations with these. One pack I received seemed to fit properly in the container they come in. The last pack I received seemed too large for the cheap plastic container they come in so the container does not close properly. Either way the container they come in is not air-tight so I would recommend storing them in a plastic baggie or small airtight container.

What packing slip, there is no packing slip, there is no nothing. Good luck lol

It is almost impossible to fit them all back in the bag. I just leave a few out and the rest of the pieces fit. Plus they are soft, so even if you step on a piece that was left out, you wont get hurt.

Wasn't sure what you meant, exactly. :)If you mean like these "Space Saver" bags: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_12?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=space%20saver%20vacuum%20bags&sprefix;=Space+saver+%2Caps%2C137I've never tried them, but I wouldn't see why they would not work. I guess it depends on the size of the fitting in the bag. Most of the space bags I use are the "travel" kind, that don't have a vacuum port. All I can say is "give one a try." If any vacuum should work, this one should.

Edgar, I'm so sorry it took me so long to read this question. Each cube was about half size of normal square ice cube. I used it for wine cubes, which does not work at all by the way... very messy lol! They would be perfect for regular ice.

I agree with Handy Andy, they won't fit as well. You can get "sized" generic bags at Walmart and other stores now.

Better ask mfg but I remember reading that you should not even fold them or fibers may break. I wouldn't count on it. Maybe they make different sizes.

Les, thanks much. Very helpful, although I'm still torn. Yes, it would be great to hear from people with hands on experience or to see a review by a pro. I'm going on a trip in November, so will buy something before then.

Really I have no idea about that. My best suggestion is to tryone on in a store, and order the pack from Amazon if it's cheaper.

Tim...that is true - I found out the hard way as well. I thought I was ordering a set, however, only one item shipped. I guess I didn't read the description well enough. I went to my local outfitters and purchased the XL plate, XL bowl AND the handy SHOT GLASS (although it is not glass!) Everything folds neatly into each other. I love them! Easy to pack and easy to store. Great for sporting events! Well worth the money. Best wishes and enjoy the open road!

I purchased a pillow protector and case with mine (did not come with it--you need to purchase separately). They are made of the same quality/beautiful fabrics/materials as the rest of their line (just smaller!). If you are asking about something small (like to squish it up in), I'd give them a call. We just placed our pillows in the outside pocket of our carryon suitcase. My son squished his in the pocket of his backpack. Like the other commenter mentioned, you can get a different color. Our pillowcases are black--keeps the hotel staff (or anyone else) from thinking they belong in the room. We use them camping too--hides the dirt!

eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing). However if you can afford them I highly recommend a set of the Eagle Creek sil-nylon Pack-It Specter Cubes. These are extremely lightweight, strong and unlike most cubes they're water resistant. Worth the bucks. Get a basic set now and perhaps in the future by one or two more individual bags to best utilize the remaining space in your bag. These work well using the roll method to pack. See YouTube for tutorials on "Ranger Rolling" clothes. Don't forget disposable T-shirt shopping bags for shoe covers.Eagle Creek Travel Gear Pack-It Specter Cube Set, White, One Size eBags are good and a good value, as are Rick Steves's mesh cubes (they have the advantage of stiffeners to hold them open when packing).

I purchased 5 total of these devices. 1 single & 2-twin packs, and they're all the same size and quality. Hope this helps you in making a decision.

Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it. In fact, that's one of the things I like about it so much. You pack it to fit within the carry-on restrictions and then you have a little extra room for things that you purchase along the way. If you check out the 100's of reviews, you'll note that many talk about using it as a carry-on. Anytime you get over 100 reviews with the vast majority being 4 and 5 stars, you know you have a winner. I love mine (green) and my husband loves his (orange). I'm 5'4" and he's 5'10". Have a blast in Europe!

They fit secure in the tray. A perfect fit. The lids are very secure I would be surprised if they opened up. But if your saying would the individual days come out of tray. Well it all depends. Is the suitcase stuffed where they would not have room to wonder? They aren't glued in tray but fit perfect. We never even bring the tray we just bring the individual days we need. I like packing light light. So I can't answer the question fly all over, that hasn't been the case with us at all.

I just got mine today and am using them for that very reason. They fit great between my mattress and headboard. I can fit them different ways depending if I want a flat surface or a slight wedge. They fit in a regular pillow case and I just wrapped the excess material around or you can let it hang behind, no one will see.
