When I made the decision to start using 12x12 binders to house my photos, I had no idea where to start. I ordered a few different brands of photo protectors not realizing that there would be such a huge difference between each brand. To my surprise, these have been the best and are thankfully the cheapest as well!
These load from the middle of the sheet. This is great because photos have a tendency to slide out of top-loading pages. It is also good because some side-loading sheets load only from the left, making it difficult to add photos once the sheet is in the album. Considering how often I mess up and need to switch pictures around, it's great to be able to leave the sheet in the album while moving pictures.
These also load separately on the back and front of the page (meaning there are 12 total spaces, 6 on each side). I have some protectors where you can only load pictures on the front side of the page. It's "ok" but it is much nicer when each photo has its own slot, especially if you need to add doubles or hide an embarrassing photo behind a nicer one, haha.
The plastic is very clear and I find it's a good amount of thickness. They're not the thickest photo protectors out there, but I haven't had any problems with durability. They do tend to fold in half if you just flip the pages--they don't turn stiffly like a piece of cardstock would--but this isn't an issue for me.
I use these with d-ring binders and they have fit in every binder of mine I've tried. However, when I tried them in an old post-bound album they stuck out about 1/8" each on the top and bottom so be sure to check the sizes if using with a post-bound album.
To address some of the iffy reviews: I have ordered DOZENS of these protectors. I order anywhere from 3-10 packages at a time, and months pass in between orders. I have never received a package that didn't have slots on both sides of the sheet. I HAVE noticed some inconsistency with row heights on some of the protectors. These shorter rows make for a tighter squeeze and I usually can only fit one photo into those slots whereas I can fit 2-3 pics per slot in the "normal" rows. I have never received a protector that was unusable due to size inconsistencies though.
Overall these are my favorite protectors and I will definitely be ordering them again.
