The Carlon B114R-UPC Lamson Home Products Number-1G Old Work Box is a must-have for any electrical project. This pack of three blue boxes offers convenience and ease of installation, thanks to its compact size and three 2-3/8" rectangular holes. Measuring 2.875" tall and 2.275" wide, this box is perfect for any home or commercial application. It is highly rated for its packaging, build quality, and compatibility, making it one of the best Electrical Outlet Boxes on the market.
GearJunky: The 12 I ordered came in a padded shipping bag, and they all made it without any damage. These are a must when replacing old manufactured home quick outlets that no longer follow code, and can be dangerous. The reason you need the drywall boxes, is because the quick outlets are NEVER attached to a stud, but are installed on the thin wood paneling.

Justin Smith: These are really nice quality, they work great and are easy to use with the screw lever system. I have used these on a lot of projects and never had a single issue.

James Jameson: These are more expensive than at the Home Depot. Also they are shollow. Not super shallow, but can make installing smart switches a pain. Especially with thicker wiring, like 10 gauge. Probably easy for the pros, but harder for DIYers like myself.
The ones at home depot are deeper and cheaper, lol, but good luck finding them in stock. These are perfect depth for electrical outlets, coax, ethernet, phone, regular switches. But a little shallow for smart switches. Not impossible, just more difficult to get all the wires pressed back enough to get the switch in properly.
If I could always find the deeper, cheaper ones at Home Depot, I would probably never buy these, but alas...that is not the case.
Good product though. As the other reviews state, prescrew the screws in and out a few times to loosen them up. The threads have to be cut in the plastic ears before they get easy to screw. This is the nature of this type of old work box. They are all like this, and shouldn't be considered a flaw, just the nature of the beast.
I have never stripped a screw out doing it this way. Plus you should probably be using an electric impact, not a hand held screwdriver...
