Is the stapler transparent, so that you are able to see when you are low on staples? That was my main reason for buying.

Hi Wendy, it is not transparent all of the way through so that you can actually see the staples. The staples are encased in a silver casing inside the plastic part. Hope this helps!

No. You can not see when you are low on staples. The reason to buy is more about fashion than function. Along those lines - this was a terrible product. It did not work when I open the box because one of the metal parts was improperly made.

No, the stapler is not transparent. There is a silver piece through the top that covers the staples.

Not very transparent at all. I mean you can tell there's something in the bag but you definitely do not have a clear view of the stuff! :) Plus, we love the size of the bag. We have three large dogs and these bags are plenty big.

If you mean that when you press down on the stapler, the staple cuts through the paper, rather than holding the top sheet to those below, then no, I haven't seen that problem with these staplers. And I use them heavily in teaching labs and my desk, so I wouldn't worry about that happening normally. You are right, if the top sheet isn't fastened to the bottom ones, no point in stapling them! I gave an extra one to a professor, who said it changed his life:)...

It is not very transparent. I cannot see through the divider even if there is light on the other side. However, with a stronger light source, some light will filter through to silhouette the designs on it.

No. Not that I can see! It's so awesome though. This is the best case ever. Super easy to use and discrete because you can't see the cards when looking at it.

the cover (the whole folder) is translucent not transparent. you can see through the color but it's not as if it's a clear plastic sheet

I don't believe you can specify the color. I was really disappointed being an owner of the original tot stapler all through my school years. You really don't need the built in staple remover because the staples rarely attach....sorry for the sarcasm.

Mine is glued I believe, I couldn't see any staples. It is sturdy and the cats love it.

Yes, I can see clearly out of the top of the curtain, granted I'm looking through white mesh/net material, from the neck up. From the neck down is completely covered. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.

No, this stapler does not come with staples. At least I didn't receive any when I purchased it in mid 2012. It works great for sealing cardboard edges for album mailers. It takes a gentle motion. Too hard and your staple will break through the top of he cardboard. Use it right and it's perfect. Never jams either.

I don't really know if it is transparent. I have only used it on white Tee-shirts and works well. I love it and is about to order another 100 of them. It works very good with my heat press that I ordered from Amazon. The pictures on the shirt came out so clear.

Not loud at all. It's quieter than every regular stapler I've ever used. If you are comparing it to the big staplers that can handle 50+ pages, this is nowhere near that level of sound.

The stapler doesn't have any staples. It very ingeniously makes a tab that folds back onto itself. The only part that opens is the clear window. To open it simply place your thumb on the top of the window and slide it away from the main body. Just be very sure not to use more than 5 0r 6 (less if the paper is thick) pages or you run the risk of the unit jamming. That would be the only time it's necessary to slide the clear window open. This item is not meant for heavy duty stapling. I use it for things I know I will eventually shred or documents that won't repeated referral - only filing for safe keeping. Hope this helps.

I don't think it is transparent in the least. The fabric is a waffle weave that is heavy enough to be solid. Safe here, in my opinion

No. This is not transparent. Also, I didn't like this product. I found it very difficult to work with.

I can see through quilting cotton fabric. You should be able to see through any paper. I can try later today with a 28 lb paper and see if I can view through.

I am sorry this stapler did not work well and we no longer have it so I am not sure if it opened or not
