The verdict

An upright XL box for a deck with thicker inner sleeves

Choose the Squire when the upright footprint suits your bag and you want space intended for thick inner sleeves. The documented capacity is useful, but it is conditional on the sleeve combination.

Choose it if

You want an upright, removable-cover deck box.

Look elsewhere if

You need a separate dice drawer or a verified fit for an unspecified sleeve mix.

Will it fit?

Manufacturer-stated

Gamegenic states 100 double-sleeved cards including thick inner sleeves, recommends its own sleeves, and cautions that other brands can affect capacity.

Upright versus sideways

The Squire and Sidekick solve a similar capacity problem with a different orientation. Compare the exterior dimensions with the compartment in your bag. A taller box can work better in a narrow slot; the sideways format can be easier to use where overhead clearance is limited. Neither orientation establishes a better fit for your particular sleeves.

Plan the whole deck

For a 100-card deck, treat tokens and spare cards as an additional requirement. The advertised deck capacity is not a promise of a second token stack. If you regularly carry counters, compare the Watchtower before adding loose objects beside your deck.

Opening at the table

The cover can be removed during play. That makes access a design advantage for a crowded table, but it does not establish the strength of the magnets during a drop. Keep the box inside a bag for travel and avoid treating a closure style as a transport test.
