We've loved them from ages ago when I had our workshop make some. (They
didn't like making them, though, so thanks to SPEARLAB for doing it
instead!)
In fact, spearlab made a green lid on our request which overhangs the
edge; I think it'll now be standard, or something like that.
He also made us a 4-puck version for us, which may be on the market
already...? It's grey and blue, though, I don't know whether there will
be objections to this radical colour scheme.
But they totally rock.

we have those 800ml dewars at our beamlines and I would not by them
anymore. The green lid is not really insulating and the working area
inside the cylinder is too small. In order to use it for sample
manipulations, one has to fill it completely with LN2, which will
cause uncontrolled LN2 spilling while moving the dewar.
I personally prefer the good old stainless steel dewars together with
a self-made metal lid.
Best regards,

Dear all,
Does anyone in the biocrystallogaphy community use foam dewars for
handly liquid nitrogen and freezing/manipulating frozen protein
crystals ?
We are interested in the following dewar package from Hampton
Research :
http://www.hamptonresearch.com/products/ProductDetails.aspx?cid=24&sid=187&pid=559
But before purchasing, we would like to have any comments on the
advantages and drawbacks from people who already tried those dewars.
Thanks in advance for your help and advices.
