The only downside to these is they aren't impact rated. So Drill / Screwdrivers only. (Someone correct this statement if wrong but the labels I had for these didn't state they were impact rated.)
No straight shank bits like in this kit get stuck in any of the bit holders.
The ones that do get stuck in some bit holders that have the wire friction ring, are those like these [amazon.com] that are designed for direct to impact or screw guns. That groove on the shaft locks them in, but also makes for difficult removal with some bit holders that have the friction wire to better hold straight bits..
The holders are fine for an impact, clutched screw gun, or clutched drill. Obviously, only the shorter of the bit holders will fit in the case. As far as bits, even the so called 'impact ready' DeWalt bits have been too soft. I would rather have a bit break, than round off the tip while damaging the screw. If you cannot find made in the USA Apex at a reasonable cost, the torsion type Milwaukee or Makita have been better bits for hardness.
As a package deal with case, $7 is fine.

This is a good price I have seen these from $9-$12 on Amazon and Home Depot.

Lube the sleeve up occasionally, and it will last quite a while

I don't believe there is a 'sleeve' on this set. As shown by the bits sticking out, these are just two different lengths of solid bit holders and only the shorter one fits in the case.

Great, as one can drive the sliding sleeve off and have a narrow bit driver.
Do they both fit in the case?

Indeed not impact rated. Like, not even once. The body is aluminum. Mine fell apart after attempting to remove one nut. Grabbed it without paying attention. (You will too) I was surprised it failed immediately.

I just drove in 2 boxes of 3 inch GRK #10 Cabinet screws, into the studs of a 100 year old house on a kitchen remodel
Used DCF887 impact driver, the longer extension from this kit, and the T25 bit that came with the screws
It held up, no problem.
These last about a year of daily use, in my experience. Then the sleeve wears through, or binds up and no longer spins. I try to keep it lubed
