I thought the all-in-one aspect was fantastic. Better than carrying a separate lancing device and manually inserting strips.

Are there any other all-in-ones?

Welcome @Nashvillian. I am not sure about that, but I do know that you will hear shortly from people who have more knowledge than I.

When you get around to it, you may want to introduce yourself here.

I think it never sold very much. In fact, I am surprised it lasted that long: it’s been around since the early 2010s.

Not quite the same, but I think the OneDrop meter comes with a rather elegant small hold-everything case. The strip case is especially small.
