www.fisherathletic.com/3rdHand.htmlI know there could be many jokes about the thread title--try to refrain  Anyway, does anyone use these? I know I can make a homemade substitute, but was wondering if anyone had experience with these making them better than page protectors/laminating.

seems like a waste of money. Laminate the gameplan and hole punch one of the corners.

I actually just laminate the play sheet, hole punch it and use one of those retractable things that people put company IDs on or car keys. I just clip it to my belt and it works great.

I just use these:  and print the ready sheet on this:  Makes the ready sheet solid and waterproof so I can spend the first quarter b1tching and moaning about not being able to find anything useful on it before chucking it behind the water coolers at halftime... |

$23.95 for a sheet of plastic, a clip, and a lanyard? What would this guy think?  |

I really like the belt clip Idea, if i had a piece of paper hanging around my neck I would just stay mad that it was hanging there in my way, I can't wear my keys around my neck in practice and usually take the whistle off.

If I saw a coach with a playsheet hanging from his neck like something Ludacris would wear, I would think that is a coach that takes himself too serious. I just fold it in half and stick it in the back of my shorts.  |

Save your money you could buy like 5000 feet of string for like 0.28 and do the same thing.

I don't think so. You would have to find smaller sheet sizes.

I used that stuff for a while to make the wristbands and it was no problem you just had to cut them out, If I remember correctly. I eventually bought a home laminator it was around twenty bucks and came with a ton of sheets. I have been very happy with it.

I use a variation of the page pouch thing I found, about $5. There are 10 of the page protectors sealed together and 3-hole punched. I use that for practice all week and in the game. Lets me get all my play calls, if-then info, fronts, situations, roster, scouting information, pretty much anything I want in there. Folds up nice for the back pocket. I usually print double-side print on card stock so there is a nice heft to it. Probably not what the single-sheet guys would like, but again, I use that all week to make sure I get everything in, keep notes, etc.
I also use these for putting all the conditioning drills, passing drills, play diagrams, scout offense for the week, etc. into a nice little package.

Neat idea, not very cost effective. Our coach lamenates our stuff and I use a retractable belt clip mentioned above. No way am I paying what they want for what cost 3 bucks at office max.
