[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Is it possible that there is someone in the world here in the 21st century who is unfamiliar with this stuff and really needs a review to help them decide if they want to buy it? Scotch Magic Tape is the one with the matte finish that you can write on. Once applied, the frosted finish is virtually invisible.
You get three disposable dispensers of 3/4 inch tape, each 300 inches long. The dispensers appear to be single-use. They are completely open on one side but I don't think they can be refilled. This could be viewed as packaging-intensive and eco-unfriendly. If such matters concern you, you may want to invest in a permanent desk dispenser and refill rolls as that option would involve less plastic waste.
When applying, as long as you keep one end of the tape off of of the surface you're sticking it to, you can remove it without difficulty. But once you've pressed the entire piece of tape down firmly, it's permanent and essentially un-removable. It will shred and tear if you try. Likewise, if the tape gets free of the cutting edge of the dispenser and sticks itself flat to the roll, you're doomed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems we always have Scotch tape on hand... and every once in a while someone grabs (alright it's me....) the wrong kind at the store... and I end up having to buy Scotch tape next time I go back! Side by side... Scotch tape gets used first/last/and in between. We keep tape in several areas of the house; upstairs in the desk, downstairs in the sewing/craft room. One of the things I really like about Scotch brand tape... I don't have to worry about it yellowing and coming undone! The "junk brand" some how sat in the drawer right next to the Scotch tape and every time we grab the "wrong one".... it gets thrown back and the Scotch tape is used instead, because it's strong and I can count on it holding up in the long run. If I wasn't against waste... I would probably just throw it away... but there it sits... waiting it's turn! One of these days... it may get used.... if and only if we are out of Scotch brand! It does the job... and I don't have to worry if it will hold up. As a commercial said (about some other product years ago) Try it you'll like it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whenever I need tape all I ever reach for is my Scotch tape. It does the job to perfection every time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I prefer Scotch Magic Tape over any other brand. I am considering about trying the one-handed type dispenser. Either way, the tape is still high quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scotch is the only tape I use. I have tried generic and it is awful. Scotch sticks like you expect it to! The dispenser works well and I love how clear it is when you adhere it...especially when wrapping gifts for birthdays and Christmas!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used cheaper brands before but nothing beats using Magic Tape for me. I seek out the green plaid!
