Also claimed to work with the Travelwide, while the non-”i" model does not.
My understanding re New55 is that the "i" model is either not preferred or not recommended. Perhaps someone else can give a more definitive statement.

From the New55 Film FAQ:

What holder is New55 FILM designed for?

"New55 FILM is designed to work only with the famous Polaroid 545 Land Film Holder. Otherwise called the "545," this holder is a substantial metal construction with a silver processing lever. Many thousands of these holders were made in the heyday of instant film and remain in circulation in good working order. The 545i is the lighter-weight plastic version that also works for New55 FILM."​

From a blog entry by Bob Crowley:

Bob Crowley said on May 31, 2014 at 8:39 AM...

"Do not use the very old 500 holder from Polaroid. New55 FILM will be designed to fit the metal 545 holder, which I prefer due to its ruggedness, and the plastic 545i."​
