Digital camera reviews of Fellowes CD Sleeves 100 CD Capacity Clear Vinyl Double Sided (50-Pack)
Digital camera Review: Not what it claims
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought these CD sleeves after reading many of the reviews. So I was very excited when they arrived and I could begin condensing my CD collection. However I was disappointed when I discovered that the booklets do NOT fit in the sleeves as claimed by the manufacturer. Well, they fit if you trim about 1/8" off. Tedious and time consuming at best. I do not recommend this product. The paper sleeves work better, you can fit a CD and a booklet in each sleeveDigital camera Review: Note these actual dimensions
Summary: 4 Stars
I like these sleeves and I ordered them along with the Ideastream CD storage boxes. But the actual dimensions of the sleeves are 5.75"H X 5"W (including the title tab at the top). The Ideastream boxes are 5"H with the lid. This means that if the CD box is full, the titles have to be folded back in order for the lid to fit securely. Other than that minor nuisance, the system works well and saves lots of space.Digital camera Review: Optimizes linear shelf space
Summary: 5 Stars
Saves LOTS of space. Easy to use (easy to get disks in and out). Do you have data archives in your office? Liberate all those jewel cases! Do you buy multiseason television DVD box sets? Liberate your shelf space! These are the best sleeves to buy.Digital camera Review: Organize Those CD's!
Summary: 4 Stars
I literally have 100's of CD's lying around the house and recently took it upon myself to organize (most of) them ;) I considered those CD storage books/wallets but didn't like the fact that they make alphabetical sorting a nightmare (i.e. making room for one CD on a certain page requires moving 10 pages worth of CD's!). That's where these CD sleeves come in - put your CD"s in these sleeves, then store 'em in a box and access them like old-fashioned library cards. Fellowes even sells a nice 100-disk-capacity stackable box that comes with 25 of these sleeves.These sleeves are double-sided. Each can hold 2 CD's or 1 CD plus a booklet. The width of each sleeve is slightly wider than a std CD, and at the top is a 3/4" tab/flap - very handy for writing/ataching a label and for pulling the sleeve out of a box. The construction appears to be good - not thin, cheap plastic that might easily tear or rip.
My only complaint is with the design of the finger-hole used to extract the CD from the sleeve - its in the shape of a keyhole rather than an open "U". This makes it a little difficult to pull out CD's when there are two in the sleeve (you can solve this with a pair of scissors if it bothers you).
Overall, these sleeves provide a high-density storage solution at a reasonable cost, especially when you purchase the higher-count package.
Digital camera Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the best double-sided sleeves I have found. They are very sturdy: The transparent sleeve is made of vinyl, as opposed to the thin, flimsy, and cheap sort I have purchased in the past. Another nicety is that the extraneous plastic from the die-cut holes are already removed so you do not have to punch them out. The soft-center is also a bit better quality
The sturdy tab can be used for labeling (box comes with paper inserts, or you could just write on it with a Sharpie). But, because it's fairly strong, it could also be punched with holes if you wanted to use them binder-style, it is rigid enough that it would not tear. It can also be trimmed off without weakening the structure of the remaining sleeve.
All these may seem like minor qualities, but if you have a lot of disks to store and protect, this is good buy (only about 20 cents per sleeve). Sleeves with a similar quality (like DicsSox) cost $1 each or more.
