Some of them are so over the top you think, where would I keep this shape card. It's too odd to fit in my Rolodex. So then it might end up in a junk pile or placed in an out of eye sight spot on my desk. Which means this person might lose business because his business card is not located with the other business cards on the person desk.

But for the others they are really good.

These are fantastic. I love it, although a few are a little over the top.

I looked at the site and these cards are very nice. Just another tool to put in my belt. I love to have more than one option concerning my work.

The neatest card i have ever seen was so memorable that I still know exactly what the card looked like and who it was for. It was a simple, all black card in an unusual parallelogram shape. It was a for a photographer in Los Angeles, her name is Starla Fortunado. It was simple, her name and phone number were embossed on it, along with her title. That's it. It's been over 5 years since I saw her card and I still remember it!

When creativity was handed out, some of these designers must have stood in line twice. These are very fun. It's incredible how much can be done with a very small area!

But...I'm with Jessica. If the shape or size keeps it from fitting easily into a wallet, it might not be the best thing. Also, I think the card should reflect not just the company's info but its attitude. While I think those pop-up cards are out of this world for a company that does anything at all artistic, they would be completely wrong for a business like mine. I am very practical and don't do much that would be considered creative or out-of-the-box--so my cards do exactly what you'd expect them to and nothing else.

Also, when I get someone's card, I like when it's blank on back so I can write down where I met this person, what project I had him in mind for, any extra info he shares, etc.

Those are some seriously cool cards.
Some are almost "collector" items, or at least I would keep them!
