Solution 1:

First, instead of .bind() and .unbind() I would use .off() and .on(). Check out What's the difference between jQuery.bind() and jQuery.on()? for more information.

Also any time you unbind or use off('click') on an event, you cant just use bind('click') or on('click') and expect to get the event back to normal. You would have to re-declare the event, in your case, the function in the line $(".box").click(function(){...}.

$(function(){
var $currentBox = false;;
var open = false;
var origHeight = $('.box').innerHeight() + 'px';
var origWidth = $('.box').innerWidth() + 'px';

$(".clsbtn").click(function(){
    $(".box").animate({
        "height": origHeight,
        "width": origWidth
    },800);

    $(".box").show();
        $(".box-container").show();
        $(".box-content").hide();
        $(".box").on("click");
    });

    function activate() {//change here
        if (open) {
            $currentBox = false;
            $(this).animate({
                "height": origHeight,
                "width": origWidth
            },800);

            $(".box").show();
            $(".box-container").show();
            $(".box-content").hide();
            open = false;

            $(".box").on("click",activate());//change here
        } else {
            $currentBox = $(this);
            var width = $('.boxes').innerWidth() + 'px',
            height = $('.boxes').innerHeight() + 'px';
            $(this).animate({
                "height": height,
                 "width": width
            },800);

            $(this).find(".box-container").hide();
            $(this).find(".box-content").show();

            $(".box").not(this).hide();
            open = true;
            $(".box").off("click");//change here
        }
    });

 $(".box").on("click",activate());//change here
});
