This is just what I was looking for to hold extra CD's that don't come in their own jewel cases. Perfect for installation or recovery CD's for the computer. You can even fit the paper sleeve that comes with it in case it has an unlock code on it. Would highly recommend.

I thought a knew what I was getting when I ordered this product, just another cheap storage binder. I go through these things almost weekly it seems. So I figured I would go out of my comfort zone and buy something more than five bucks. When I received this binder I was amazed at the quality and just the sheer beauty of it. It looks like something you would find sitting in a museum in Sicily. The feel to it is soft leather and the two tone scheme makes it look that much sharper. On the side there is a label holder that you can put any of your own labels in. The metal that surrounds the label is very decorative and rustic. The only complaint i have is there are only 12 pages, each page can hold 4 DVDs or CDs which is 48 all together. That is a quick fix though, the company offers replacement pages for a reason able price. Large CD/DVD Binder Insert Pages

I have used zippered storage binders over the years, but have found them cumbersome to use when they hold a lot of DVDs or CDs. This binder is a solution to that problem.

The binder sits nicely on the shelf, the three rings easily open and close, inserting and removing the plastic sleeves is a snap, and the sleeves nicely display my DVDs.

I have two suggestions:

1. Before you purchase an extra binder, purchase an extra set of sleeves. Although the binder will hold more than one extra set, I think that would make it too bulky when filled with DVDs.

2. When moving the binder from room to room, or transporting it outside your house, make sure to keep it upright. This is not a concern with a zippered binder, but if you turn this binder sideways or upside down (as I inadvertently did in a shopping bag that I was using to transport it), the DVDs can easily start coming out of the sleeves (and in fact I had a DVD that fell into the shopping bag).

If you are interested in just bulk storage without easy access, then a zippered case works fine. But if you want to be able to rearrange your DVDs and flip through them easily, then this binder is superior to a zippered case.

I am organizing my house and trying to downsize in an effort to simplify my life. One project is to transfer my entire CD and DVD collection from the cabinet which I gave away into binders I can store on my bookshelf in a 10th of the space.

I first tried some very nice looking Case Logic CD/DVD storage which turned out to not be actual binders -- the pages couldn't be taken out and moved around and the pockets were too small to hold all of the CD art -- some of the pockets tore. If you filled all the pockets, the book would be too full to close.

So, I ordered these HandStand Binders. These are gorgeous; they look very smart on the bookshelf. The pockets are roomy and there was no problem with thick CD booklets. There are just the right number of pages provided -- fill every pocket with a CD and its art and the binder is not too full to close.

These binders are everything I hoped for. If I still bought CDs or DVDs, I'd buy more. (However, as an environmentally-conscious person, I only download music or rent DVDs.)

I ordered two of these a week ago, got them yesterday, and just ordered two more. I am using the binder for music CDs. It indeed holds using both sides of the page inserts, without having to force or squash them in. Each slot will fit a CD and the jewel case booklet. I plan to put all my CDs in these binders. You can insert lists of songs or other info next to each CD, but I will just flip through the pages to find the one I want. The binder is easy to handle. They look nice, and free up lots of shelf room. The faux-leather seems durable, and doesn't look tacky. The binder is large, so I probably wouldn't use it to carry CDs around, but could, in a pinch. I just wanted something sharp looking, easy to use, and less shelf clutter.

Yay! I am a movie buff and have a huge collection of DVD's. However, I do not have all the shelves needed to store these bad boys. This case is great to consolidate my DVD's and is makes them more accessable. Plus, it looks great on my bookshelf. It also is great storage for all the CD's I have accumilated over the years. I had them in boxes never to be looked at again mainly due to my iPod. So now they too are consolidated and look better than the bulky Case Logic cases.

I ordered several of these based on the positive reviews. I'm glad I did. My one concern was whether there would be room in the sleeves for the cd and the booklet in each slot (I've had that problem with other cd organizers). These have the right amount of room in the cd sleeves. Plan on ordering more when I fill the ones I have. Really helps clear up the clutter in my room, and they look nice in a group.

Since I have bought and written glowing reviews on 19 of them, I guess I still like them.

You can buy all sorts of CD / DVD storage stuff from Walmart. This is just better than any of that. I bought one to test it and will buy more. It is practical, nice looking and the perfect size.

I love these. They look great, they feel great, they store a decent amount of DVDs. I like having several of them side-by-side on my shelf. They're great and I recommend them to everyone.
