Rated 4 out of 5Â by kaybee Compact storage
I've been wanting to cut down on my storage space for CD and DVD storage for quite some time, but didn't want to go to binders or expensive disc systems. I have 3 beautiful CD cabinets with wicker front drawers for CD storage, and they are full. I have another cabinet for DVD's, which is not only full, but ugly. With these sleeves, I can store all my CDs and DVDs in my lovely CD cabinets, which stand next to each other, making a nice table top for other items. And I have room left over.
The CD booklets do not fit in the sleeves, unless you cut them down, which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I took the insert from the back of the jewel case, cut off the title spine, and inserted that into the title space on the sleeve. It's the same size as the title tabs included with the sleeves, but looks much nicer than my hand written tabs. I cut off the opposite perforated tab from the insert, then folded the remaining piece to put in the sleeve. If the booklet is thin, I fold it and put it in the sleeve. Otherwise, I just keep it behind the disc. For my DVDs, I removed the insert from the case and again cut off the title spine and inserted that into the title space in the sleeve, trimming the ends to fit. I didn't keep most of the paper inserts, just a few booklets from inside the cases. I'm making some cardstock alphabetical dividers to further organize my cabinets.
All in all, I like this product. It meets my storage needs, and it seems like a durable product.
My local recyling facility won't take the CD and DVD cases, but you can find sites online that offer recycling for these and other techno-trash items.
