Tray of Holding vs Magnetic Folding Tray: Which to Buy?

Tray of Holding vs Magnetic Folding Tray: Which to Buy?

Compare the Red Phoenix Tray of Holding and the Purple Magnetic Rectangle Folding Tray: size limits, portability, and which suits your RPG table.

Two dice trays, two different jobs

The Red Phoenix Tray of Holding and the Purple Magnetic Rectangle Folding Tray both keep your rolls contained, but they solve different problems. One is a padded, organized home for your dice; the other is a slim, portable surface you can fold and carry. Your choice comes down to whether you prioritize storage and quiet rolls or portability and a specific look.

Here is how the supplied catalog describes each, and where the evidence leaves open questions.

What the catalog confirms about each tray

Side-by-side: storage vs. portability

The catalog does not list dimensions or weights for either tray, so we cannot compare them numerically. The descriptions do, however, point to different strengths.

  • Red Phoenix Tray of Holding: Padded lining for organizing and protecting dice; soft rolling surface that dampens sound; not compatible with Boulder® dice; recommended for standard-sized RPG dice.
  • Purple Magnetic Rectangle Folding Tray: Velvet interior for contained, precise rolls; vegan leather exterior; folding design implied by the name, but the catalog does not describe the folding mechanism or closure.

Which tray fits your table?

Choose the Red Phoenix Tray of Holding if you want a dedicated dice station that keeps sets organized between sessions and softens the clatter of heavy dice. It is the better fit for a home game where the tray stays out. Just avoid Boulder® dice, which the catalog says are too large.

Choose the Purple Magnetic Rectangle Folding Tray if you need to pack light for game nights or conventions. Its folding form and velvet interior suggest a portable rolling surface, though the catalog does not confirm how it folds or whether it has a closure. It is also the more affordable option at the catalog prices shown, but check current pricing before you buy.

What the catalog does not settle

Neither product record includes dimensions, weight, or a full list of compatible dice sizes. The Red Phoenix tray explicitly recommends standard-sized RPG dice and warns against Boulder® dice; the Purple tray has no such guidance. If you regularly use oversized dice, confirm fit before purchasing.

Care instructions are also absent from both records. The Purple tray's vegan leather exterior may be wipeable, but the catalog does not say so. Treat any cleaning advice as general caution rather than a manufacturer instruction.
