I bought 3 last time. The first one I opened was fine, but the other 2 still had the plastic inserts in each slot. So I had to manually tear out 576 inserts, most of which were not perforated completely which lead to some ripped slots.
Same thing happened to me. The first time, I tore alot of slots cause I wasn't taking my time. On the second one, I used my X-Acto knife to make clean cuts. It was a pain and took forever, but oh well. Also, each sleave has a little flap on top which you use to cover the top of the cd so that it presumably doesn't fall out if you turn it upside down. It's kinda hard to get the flap over the cd, especially if the sleave is completely full of cd's.

Caselogic cd cases are so much better in terms of quality, but they're also around 4-5 times as expensive. These cheapo geek cases get the job done, but don't expect grade-A quality.
 
Jumped on this.

2x for $24.92 - 1.5% FatCash

Figured they can't be any worse than my desk and more convieent than the 3 100 disk spindles I'm using now for storage.
 
Mine tore in half after I loaded it up =). The plastic slits still have the leftover plastic from the cutting process (most likely why these are cheap).
For me, it wasn't worth the price, but maybe to some.

are you talking about the compgeeks one or the maxcdwallet one?
 
I guess he's talking about the compgeeks one. However all my three cases holding over 250 CDs each have no sign to corrupt.

shipping was $22 to Seattle:disgust:

Are you telling me you have approx. 2880 cd's just lying around?

I wouldn't be surprised, seeing all the cheap or FAR CD-R deals that has been on ATHD.
 
I bought 3. Great prices...wife will finally stop whine about all those cd's laying around. What's a guy to do with 1,275 movies?

I bought a couple last time. Had to pull out/trim out about 80% of the plastic inserts. Also the pockets are pretty loose fitting... do not turn it upside down with CDs in it or they will be all over the floor. Cheap price=Cheap binders

OK for storage but in no way do they compare to CaseLogic binders. As is almost always the case: You get what you pay for.

i would like to know how these are too! they actually look nice!

They're pretty good. The zipper and carry strap are a nice touch.

The sleeves for these are a bit wider (than Case Logic ones), so they stick out when you put them in a normal 3 ring binder. They work perfect with the maxcdwallet binder, though.

LOL. Why on earth would you turn this upside down with CDs in it if it wasn't closed up?
