Customer Review: Iraq and BACK
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok i needed something super durable to hold all my movies. I bought this cd case before deploying for the main reason that it didnt have the stupid three ring binder type crap on the inside. This thing has been squished and dropped and almost everything in between. The dvd's stayed in place never had one fall out. And the pages are still in awsome shape even after the hords when looking through my movies to borrow. I would recommend this case to anyone thats as tough on stuff as i am.
Pro's: NOT three ring binder, holds alot of movies or cd's, comes with a travel cd wallet, holds dvds and cds tight.
Con's: Are you still reading this its the best buy you'll ever make.
If you are tired of the three ring binder type tearing pages or cds falling out when you travel. Or when the stupid little metal binder parts get a little tweaked and the pages start coming out or the pages snag on the three ring binder part when you are turning pages then look no more BUY THIS. Mine still looks awsome performs great, never an issue and lasted through a 15 month deployment to IRAQ what more do you need.
Customer Review: Just bought it, about to return it.
Summary: 1 Stars
I like the idea. The design is lacking. Even with no CDs in it whatsoever, it is easy to see the problems ahead. With the case open wide, the outer-center support caves in, not allowing for the case to be full with CDs and open at the same time. In other words, if you hope to store to capacity, forget about navigating it. I put between twenty and thirty CDs in groups at different spots in the case, figuring I would fill in the spots with similar styles, etc. later. It just isn't going to work. I don't know if this is just too large a capacity for any case to hold. However, I have a case by another company that holds a couple hundred, which I am very happy with. I will return this tomorrow and order a second of my other case. It looks like a couple hundred at a time is plenty for any case to hold. I don't know whether Case Logic's other larger capacity holders are good or not. I have a couple smaller Case Logic CD wallets that are quite nice. I think they need to take this one off the market. It chased me away to another brand for my couple-hundred holder.Customer Review: This case easily scratches DVDs
Summary: 2 Stars
I was surprised to find that after carefully inserting, then removing, a new DVD (DVD+R) from this case that it had many tiny scratches on the bottom of it. I still like the case due to its good construction and high capacity, but I store all the DVDs upside down within the sleeve (since the anti-scratch sleeve, along with the plastic lip from the sleeves on the top-half of the page, are what does the scratching), and I have to remove the DVDs very carefully (angling it so that the top of the DVD rubs against the sleeve, instead of the bottom). I think this product must not have been tested very well, and it's ironic that while it's meant to protect your DVDs, it scratches like steel wool!
Another thing I disliked about the product is that if you unzip it all the way, then it's hard to get the zipper started again (for the first inch or so) because it just collapses inward instead of wanting to move down the "zipper track". The beginning of the zipper probably needs to be more rigid to prevent this type of thing from occurring.
Customer Review: Not Your Best Choice
Summary: 1 Stars
This puppy is not well designed. There are better, and cheaper, alternatives, even through Amazon.
First, when opened, the zipper retreats to the spine, and becomes very difficult to close. And the recalcitrant zipper is now on the bottom of the open binder; if you turn it bottom up to work on the zipper, discs start falling out -- because:
Second, the plastic pockets do not have a flap on top to secure the disc.
And third, you'll wish you had a ring-binder style the first time you have to rearrange your collection. I've done it twice, and I won't do it again.
A much better product is the TekNmotion 400. It elegantly solves the zipper problem with a zipper extension, it has security top flaps on the pockets, it uses a dual-3-ring system (not perfect, but easier to rearrange). AND: it holds more disks, has nifty elastic page hold-downs inside, and costs only $20 (not counting postage). I found them on sale in a local store for $15, so I paid the sales tax and saved the postage.
Customer Review: Big problem not yet mentioned
Summary: 1 Stars
One large problem that I have yet to see mentioned is the following.
You will probably be adding your discs in the wallet by Genre, and then alphabetically sorting either by artist or title
As you fill the book, every time you want to add a new disc, (ie Carly Simon), but all the spaces between "R" and "T" are taken, you have to remove all the pages to fit one in where the "S" are to accomodate your new disc.
In a normal binder where the rings split in the middle, you can flip past the last "S" page and add a new page there. However since these rings force you to add a page in the front, you have to remove them all every time you add a page. The second problem is that because these pages have "slits" for holes and not "circular" holes, replacing the pages in the binder is a real pain.
Be forwarned. this is not a problem if your collection is not growing. But if it is, it will likely quickly grow disorganized due to the difficulty in adding new pages where they need to be!
