Example One
Flexbox Thumbnail Cards
Responsive Equal Height Boxes for Twitter Bootstrap 3
Also here's a demo with list/grid toggle of the thumbnail cards.


Equal Height Columns HTML & CSS

<div class="flex-row row">
<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-4 col-lg-3">
</div>
</div>

@media only screen and (min-width : 481px) {
   .flex-row.row {
	 display: flex;
	 flex-wrap: wrap;
   }
   .flex-row.row > [class*='col-'] {
	 display: flex;
	 flex-direction: column;
   }
  .flex-row.row:after, 
  .flex-row.row:before {
	 display: flex;
  }
}

Equal Height Flexbox Thumbnails

<div class="thumbnail">
  <div class="caption">
    <h3>Title</h3>
    <p class="flex-text"> Content ...<p>
    <p><a class="btn btn-primary" href="#">Link</a></p>
  </div>
</div>

.flex-row .thumbnail,
.flex-row .caption {
  flex:1 0 auto;
  flex-direction:column;
}
.flex-text {
  flex-grow:1
}
.flex-row img {
  height:auto;
  width:100%
}

Flexbox Browser Compatability

This is by far the best method available using css. While it lacks support for IE 9 and below like other examples on this page, there are always workarounds if it's necessary (see update about Microsoft ending support for outdated browsers) We can proivide a fallback using display:inline-block if we're using it on an area that isn't already applying the correct classes.

If we must have support for IE 9 and below we can add a polyfill by adding something like this Jquery plugin and and wrap it all up in a conditional tag...

<!--[if lte IE 9]>
<![endif]-->




Example Two
Table Equal Height Cards

In this example we'll be using the table method except making a few changes. First, we're actually applying the table to the .thumbnails in this case, which are actually what we want to be equal. We aso omit the [.class*="col-] classes all together since they aren't doing anything useful for us using the table method. Tables form columns on their own so adding additioanl classes is counter productive.


Equal Height Table CSS


HTML 
<div class="table-row-equal">
<div class="thumbnail">
    Content...
</div>
<div class="thumbnail">
    Content...
</div>
</div>

CSS 
@media only screen and (min-width : 480px){
	.table-row-equal {
		display: table;
		width: 100%;
		table-layout: fixed;
		border-spacing: 30px 0px;
		word-wrap: break-word;
		border-spacing: 30px 0px;
	}
	.table-row-equal .thumbnail {
		float: none;
		display: table-cell;
		vertical-align: top;
		width: 1%;
	}
}
