Storage Cases for slabs

I saw the below storage case for slabs. It is a nice idea, holding 100 slabs. The problem - or possible problem - is that it is made in China and there is a possiblity of materials used may be toxic in some form or fashion. Anyone have a good alternative?

My concern is would they be toxic to the coins.
Lots of storage stuff available here: https://www.lighthouse.us/collect-coins/
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
bet you the import is less than half the cost....
I would stick with holders from the TGP or use a holder certified for preservation like light house intercept shield coin boxes

I would be concerned about outgassing from the plastic(?) used for the case inserts...that could affect the coins.
I'd pass on it !!!
I do have a 30 coin case much like that. (Probably a different manufacturer).
I think it's useful for TRANSPORTATION of coins. No rattling...no concern about dropping....no concern about outsiders identifying by sight what's inside.
But like others, I would be concerned about long term storage. The rubber-ish internal structure initially smelled "chemically". That has since gone away. But that doesn't mean it's not still out-gassing some unknown "stuff" to this day.
I have a case similar for slab storage/transport.... not made in China... I am trying to recall where I got it.....It was from some site recommended here on the forum a few years ago....If I can find any record, I will post it. Cheers, RickO
Possibly Guardhouse?
I have these from Amazon and they work great for NGC, all PCGS, and ANACS slabs
