STREETWISE Large Hardbound Book Safe – Hidden Storage Book – Conceal Valuables in Plain Sight – Decoy Design

I’ve tried to make hollowed out books on my own, But the amount of time that goes into it far exceeds the cost of just buying one professionally done from here. This is a very good price. I don’t think I would purchase it if it was More than $25. So the fact that it’s current price is below that is excellentFor scale/reference I am able to fit an iPhone XR in a thick OtterBox case in the compartment. Or I can fit 4 x10 ounce silver bars in there. Or I can fit up to 60/70 US bills/paper currency. It is a great product. Not too thick and not too thin. I personally would prefer it if there were a couple more pages between the front cover and the actual compartment. But this is a minor gripe. I am curious to see how long this will hold up with daily carry and use. I think this is meant to sit on a shelf somewhere but let’s see how it holds up day-to-day. I honestly could not make one better myself and for less cost. Very cool product.

I LOVE this book!!!!! It is extremely well made and just what I was looking for.I am giving my grandson a gift certificate to a book store. I started thinking that the other grandkids were opening actual books and it was not as great of a presentation to just give him a gift certificate in an envelope. I thought maybe I would put the gift certificate in a box and wrap it. Then I thought about my girlfriend who made scenes in books that were very clever. And I thought maybe I would get a book and cut out the pages to make a space for the certificate. That led me to looking at book safes on Amazon and I found this one. It is absolutely beautiful and very well done. I am sure my grandson is going to absolutely love this. Of course he will be surprised thinking it is a real book. As he opens it and reads what it is about he will be thinking "What the heck?". I think it will take him a minute to realize there is a cut out inside. The cut out is beautifully lined and has a cover. I am more excited about giving this gift than any others this year. Thank you so much for creating such a fun, well made book safe.

Very nice product. Note that the written description for this item says it does not have a lock, but the tabular, keyword description says it has a "password lock." It does not have a lock of any kind. Please correct the keyword description.

The media could not be loaded. A very nice book that nobody expect to look in definitely would have to remove the cover to see the other original cover me. I like it definitely a good hiding spot.

One would think that such a concept in all its simplicity would be refined to near perfection in 2022. If it has, I haven’t found it, at least not on the /\maz0n. But is it really so simple? Maybe not.This is a real book with actual print on pages that are real as any to touch and a few to turn until the diversion is lost and it’s true purpose revealed. All too easily if you ask me because this kind of “safe” is a gamble, and if you lose it quickly becomes a matter of how clever the engineering and how carefully the construction is executed to whether or not your stash is exposed. The gamble being, of course, is anyone going to have enough need or interest to pick it up? So that’s where I’ll begin.Random. That’s what you get. I’m a man, a man’s man if you willl. I’ve got lots of tools, guns, electronics, things that work, things that need work, things with wheels and of course books. Wood carving, finishing, The Chemical Analysis of Electroplating Solutions, Guitar Chords, U-Line catalog, Garfield Swallows His Pride, Residential and Commercial Wiring just to name a few. Imagine my surprise when I saw that I’d be adding “500 Miles From You”, a story about falling in love in the strangest of ways over miles of……wait….WTF? Can I honestly expect that Bob or Keith or Dan or Jake isn’t going to see this baby blue sore thumb throbbing on my bookshelf and insist on picking it up to investigate what passages I’ve highlighted? I most certainly cannot! The paper cover comes off, but the title is still there on the spline completely alienated from the rest of the crowd. No bueno.So then it’s only fair to ask what if one of these knuckleheads can’t resist a good novel and picks it up? Depends. Looks and feels like a real book. It is after all, and as long as it’s opened from the very beginning it still holds its disguise. 6 pages in the jig is up and your stash is no longer. Due to the fact that, although also real, the pages housing the cutout don’t turn and this the book practically opens itself to page 7.There is no lock, only a cover to the inner compartment, which is about the size of a VHS tape if you’re familiar. It wouldn’t matter and I don’t see it as a negative for a diversion type safe. It is well made, but I strongly feel I could achieve similar results in the shop using a much more fitting title to effectively blend in.In all this book safe is good, but not great. Certainly worth having as a component to anyone adopting squirrel-like security habits for light valuables and stashes. If you don’t plan on needing what’s in it for extended time, just glue it shut. Gamble won and laughs for all, every time.

Awesome looks real and love it!

I couldn’t be more pleased with this! It was a gift for my preteen niece who’s very responsible with money and loves to save up. I didn’t want to just hand her cash, so I thought this would be a creative way to gift it to her, and of course she can use the book for years to come.Since I knew these were genuine books and the styles would vary a lot, I contacted the seller to ask if they could hopefully choose a book that looked like something a preteen girl would actually read, and they absolutely delivered! I’m so excited to give it her now!I included some pics for reference. The last one shows the depth of the compartment in relation to a quarter.My only critique would be the material of the lid. It’s like that plastic velvety stuff they insert into jewelry gift boxes. It’d be nice if it was a stronger material and maybe connected to the compartment, but for the price, it’s way nicer than I could’ve expected.

This is exactly what I needed. The quality is great, and the book actually has plenty of space to hide what I needed.
