I've acquired these sorts of \"easy to store\" tunnels before. Mostly for dog agility training and early puppy socialization exercises. I know the story. Once they unfold, they almost never fit back into a carrying bag. But, as long as they come with some sort of straps (like this one does), then who really needs the case? Still, if you are going to offer a case, your product should fit into it, even once it's been opened and used. This one doesn't. So, for that little issue, I'm deducting a star. Otherwise, this serves its purpose, what ever that might be for you. For me, our litter of 5 week old puppies are in need of some little challenges and new experiences, and for me, this is perfect. It's a great size - not too small, not too large. It's colorful. It does store easily via the straps that are attached to it, and it's light weight. I'm sure toddlers would enjoy this as a toy, too.
