They look great and hold the standard amount of paint.
Weaknesses:
The body of them (the plastic) seems weaker than most pods.
Review:
I bought these because they looked great and came with free stickers from the pro shop I purchased them from. However, I noticed that as I was playing, I was shot a few times in the pod pack. I had two proto pods in my pack along with a standard 140 diablo pod. Both proto pods had broken paint in them from when I got clipped and the other pod did not. I realized that the plastic construction of the proto pods are much weaker than this other pod and the fact that it gave when I pressed on the side of the tube probably led to the reason why I had to dump 2 pods of paint in the trash can (it was soup).
Conclusion:
They look great and are reasonably priced, but the weak construction will likely lose me as a return customer.

Review:
Well let's waste some words here. Dye's are over 50$ for 6 pods. While Proto 150 (not 140 like the idiot who started this said) rd pod are less then 30$ for 6. So if you really do like Dye, go ahead waste your money on pods worth as much as a pod pack. But pods will break eventually, only difference is the suckers who buy locklids are gonna be crying "oh no i lost my oh so expensive pod :'(" when they lose it or break it. And I'm gonna be like, oh well, only 4.15$ to replace.
Silly Dye Freaks
(lock lds are no easier to open, they'll just get you un-used to how you should be opening a pod)
Conclusion:
Go for it, best bang for the buck, they're slightly weaker then dye lock lids, but half the price.
