If the pic is accurate. This is dewalts old case and its no good. Hard to get bits in and out. Their new cases are significantly better w their new and vastly improved holders. Imo best of all brands.
Dewalts magnetic bit holder is awful. Worst of all brands. Its impossible to pull your bit out without a pliers which completely defeats the purpose.
Good deal if you just need these specific bits. But there are other $10-$12 deals in big box stores right now and a lot them are the new case which imo is the better buy.
Edit: they updated the picture since I posted... it now shows the newer model case. Way better if thats the one Ace is selling at your local store.
This particular magnetic bit holder is terrible, but the sleeved ones like this other one are quite good.

The sleeve slides up over the screw so that it doesn't fall off the end of the bit. This is very helpful with stainless steel screws that won't stick to a magnet.
Honestly the kit I linked is a better value IMO because the black oxide bits seem to break more easily.
This is also a killer deal for anyone interested:

Right angle adapter is usually around $20 and it's in this $15 kit.

The online listing still shows both pictures which is really odd. I totally agree with what you said. The old case is super annoying. There was another case design in between that was also annoying, but this new clear case design is excellent and so much easier to get the small bits in and out.

Just to confirm, the old bad cases are the non-clear ones that have yellow bit holders, and the good new ones are the half-clear ones with black bit holders?
Correct. Although the old yellow ones that are rectangular aren't as bad in my opinion. The old ones that are curved along the opening edge are the worst.

Thank you for doing the leg work on that. I didn't realize they had regional model numbers.
