This Case-Logic CD carrier is a good, solid storage device. It is pretty standard wallet, with space for 208 CDs or DVDs divided into 26 pages of sleeves (4 CDs each side, front and back), plus space for an additional 16 CDs inside the front cover. Although it is a tight squeeze, it is possible to fit both the CD and the booklet or liner notes into the same sleeve. The pages are held in place in a ring-binder type arrangement, so it is possible to unlock them and take individual pages out of the case, if you want to remove them for travel (or possibly to add more pages for more storage.)

The sleeves are well padded, so your discs shouldn't get scratched. The top, bottom, and binding of the case are solid, and leave the contents well protected. I've had my case a few months and haven't had any significant wear or tear- the zipper seems to hold up well, too.

Obviously, when full of 200+ discs, the case can get pretty heavy, and isnt going to be something that you want to take on a 3 hour trip. But if you move around a lot, or are looking for some long-term storage that will cut down on the bulkiness of your DVD cases, this is a good buy. I bought mine because I was moving from the US to Europe and wanted a way to transport and store my music and movie collection without all the extra packaging- and I've been satisfied.

I have 4 or 5 CD wallets. This is the best of them. They're all built reasonably well, but the fact that this case hase moveable pages makes it the best system for me. My cd's and dvd's absolutely have to be in alphabetical order. (Look up obsessive compulsive disorder and you'll know why.) So as my collection grows, I can add a page where needed and rearrange only a few dvd's instead of a lot. It's very sturdy for "storage" and I'd feel safe traveling with it too. I like this case and have recommended it to others. I don't store the inserts or paper so this is not an issue for me and I can't comment on it's usability in that regard.

BAD: I bought two of these so that I could dispense with my jewel cases.

I thought they served the purpose, BUT... after only a few weeks and very little use the tab that holds the CDs in (akin to the rings of a 3-ring-binder) no longer hold. My sister went to put it away tonight and half of the pages fell out. What a pain! I am also in agreement with the reviewer that said the 3-ring-replacement here is not very user-friendly, even when it does work as intended. If you need to switch pages around, you have to take everything in front of it out. UGh! I do not recommend.

GOOD: Nice looking, holds lots of CDs.

Case Logic cases were once the epitome. I have bought over 2 dozen of their cases over many years, and still have all of them. Their overall design, craftmanship, materials and selection have all gone down, while prices have gone up.

They used to provide a hard leather cover with precision metal fasteners, which have lasted me over 20 years. Now I get a very thin nylon membrane over cardboard, with cheap plastic fittings that are poorly assembled and do not last.

I have no complaints about the seller; just the manufacturer.

The ad claims "Durable padded outer-material resistant to heat, moisture, and tearing". Resistant by what yardstick? It certainly doesn't "resist" very vigorously, by my standard.

You know, a lot of people have left poor reviews for this item. I'm not sure what they were expecting. Yes, I do feel like the cardboard inside the front and back cover is a little light, and possibly not all that strong. However, I have no intentions of throwing this case off a building, nor do I anticipate running it over with my car, or lighting it on fire. As far as DVD/CD cases go, this one is more than adequate. I get that people are upset that it's not in a 3-ring binder format. I personally could care less. I don't alphabetize my DVDs, and should I choose to someday, I will sit down and take the time to do it. Yes, I will have to remove pages to reorganize them, but you have to do that with the 3-ring binders anyway. All the people that were disappointed with this item clearly had too lofty of expectations, and didn't fully read the item description. If you want a place to store your disks, this one, and pretty much all of those like it, fit the bill. There are 8 sleeves to a page, they are top loading, they are lined with some sort of fabricky softness. The zipper works, the carrying handle is a nice feature, and the 16-slots in the front cover, while not entirely necessary, are just fine with me. I bought two of these things, and as a result no longer have any DVD cases taking up space in my life. This thing came at me at a perfect time in my life, and I'm thankful for it.

This is an excellent item, made sturdy, and will last a long time. The one thing i noticed about it is that the listing says it holds 208 discs, but when i recieved it, the cardboard slip that was on it says 224 disc capasity. I highly recommend this item

FINAL WORDS

A must have if you have a lot of DVDs or CDs.

I just bought my second of these. I have had my other one for 3 years now and it is still in great shape. These are very dependable. Unlike other CD wallets where if you fill it up more than half full or so, they won't close, I have mine filled all the way with DVDs and I can still zip it up and close it! I love these and have now started on my second. Great product for a great price.

I purchased this CD wallet to eliminate my 2 towers of jewel cases. It fits all my CDs, and seems pretty sturdy. My only complaint is that you can't fit a CD with its liner notes in the same sleeve. You could put a CD in one sleeve and the liner notes next to it in another sleeve, but not both. I ended up cutting off the first page of each set of liner notes, and putting just that one page in with each CD so it's easy for me to find a CD by cover art. Also, the description is confusing about how many CDs it holds. It has 26 pages that hold 8 CDs each, which makes 208 CDs, PLUS slots for 16 more CDs inside the front cover. Therefore it holds a total of 224 CDs in the entire wallet.

Decided to downsize and put all my dvds into a case. This does the job but should have opted for Leather as this tends to be flimsy when I try to zip up.
