(More customer reviews)Based on the reviews read here, we bought three of these to contain a special subset of our main collection, which is housed in several large zippered binders made by Targus and CaseLogic. Comparing the two system concepts -- looseleaf book style vs. zipped binders -- we came to these conclusions:
* Zipped binders provide considerably more dust protection than the bookshelf binders.
* Looseleaf book-style binders afford greater flexibility in moving discs from one place in a volume to another than do zippered binders lacking removable page capability.
* Zipped binders with handles offer easier portability, even if only from room to room.
* These particular looseleaf book-style binders don't seem to be as well made as we expected; on receipt, the paper glued to inside the front cover of one was already beginning to detach. They do, however, offer convenient spine slots for labeling contents.
* Most seriously, these binders don't come with enough inserts to fill them out sufficiently; we found that the inserts from three binders barely fill two, leaving one empty binder and the need to buy additional inserts.
Tip: if you opt for this style (and are willing to accept the dust vulnerability), buy fewer binders but more inserts (sold separately at Large CD/DVD Binder Insert Pages). A filled binder will stand better on shelves and fill out the space between volumes from back to front.
This is a costly solution to the CD/DVD storage solution that looks better, I think, than it works. We'll keep the ones we have, and buy more inserts, but return to our former practice of using zippered, large-capacity, bookshelf-sized binders.
