I haven't seen the Rubbermaid version yet but have been seeing the
Sterilite version ("Show Offs"?) for a while now, is it so hard to
think that Sterilite could beat Rubbermaid to the punch?

I have both Rubbermaid and Sterilite "shoe box" style's and have not
had any problems with the lids staying attached on either brand. I
think the earlier post was talking about the ability to stack
decently, the Fashion Clears have a domed IIRC that makes them much
more prone to falling over. Most of the ones I have either have a
level lid or a recessed lid that makes stacking more secure, you just
get a bit less capacity. What I dislike is that they keep changing
the lid styles or time so it gets hard to mix stacks of the
containers...
