Case Logic CDW-32 32 Capacity Classic CD Wallet (Black)

These are simple and basic, with no fancy plastic rings to break, The liner seems soft enough that it will not scratch the discs and it holds enough to keep the rotation fresh, without being so big it is cumbersome. They just drop into the console or glove box and keep my CDs in some semblance of order and protected, while still being easy to go through.

These cases have decent quality and design and none of the quality and design flaws I found with other cases. The CDs or DVDs fit properly (not too snug), the CDs/DVDs don't overlap the plastic of the holder above (which might damage the CD over time), the slot for removing CD is open at the end so that you can remove the CD easily in a single motion, and the pockets are robust enough that I didn't crease them while inserting CDs or DVDs. The other cases I tried failed on some of these points.The case is well-padded and the stitching is even with a few minor exceptions in the 12 cases I have. Some reviews have commented that the material on the sides of the case is flimsy compared to the material used in the past. While the material does feel a bit thin, it seems completely adequate - I tried pulling on it fairly hard and it didn't tear.The one thing to be careful about is that the bottom (playing) side of a CD or DVD in one of the top pockets could brush against the case zipper and get scratched. If you aren't the type who will remove and insert the CD or DVD very carefully, or remember to fold the zipper under the pockets, you might want to consider a safer design.I preferred these to the Bellagio binders that I also have. The Case Logic holders store twice as many CDs or DVDs for close to the same price per unit and in 25-35% bookshelf space. I didn't feel the Bellagio binders protected the CDs and DVDs as well because the backs of the CDs/DVDs overlap the plastic above them and the CDs/DVDs aren't protected from dust. If you put the Bellagio binders on a bookshelf with other books, their black "antique book" appearance doesn't fit in well (unless you happen to have a bookshelf filled with antique books), whereas I though the Case Logic cases fit in better. If your bookshelf only has the Bellagio binders and no books, they would probably look better.If you have a very large CD or DVD collection, larger cases might be more suitable and cost-effective. Unfortunately, the larger cases I tried, including ones from Case Logic, had design features I wasn't happy with so I ended up with around 15 of these.

About 8 months ago, needing to clear shelves, I went through all my dvds and placed them into the CDW-64 cases. I was reluctant to toss all the cases and do this, but had to...or start lining the hallway with bookcases. I folded or cut the front picture and slipped it into the sleeve with the disc, which allowed me to spot the movie I wanted quickly. If there were other notes I wanted to keep, they went in the sleeve. I organized the movies: kids, holiday, my favorites, and so forth, but you could sort them alphabetically, or by type (western, sci fi), etc.So, do I regret it? No! In terms of space, it is so much better to use these wallets, and I gained two whole bookcases worth of space. Sitting the wallets upright or placing them flat, they fit easily under the TV stand, right where I use them. I can find what I want easily, since they are organized. As for not having the liner notes, I've found it doesn't matter. If we watch a movie at home (or in the theater) and want to know who played a particular character or did the music, the info is only a few clicks away on the Internet.I like the CDW-64 size. It is not very heavy, holds plenty of one type (holiday, for example) without wasting space, and the pages flip easily. The case is well made, the zip is sturdy, the price is good, and the darker black/grays color fits in anywhere. The only drawback I can see, is if someone hoped to sell/donate their dvd or cd collection at some point in the future, and they would not have the cases.

I've been using Case Logic "wallets" to store my films for several years now and am very pleased. While it is true that the system that holds the pages can be a pain when you need to re-arrange your CDs or DVDs, it is in every other way a huge improvement over the typical 3-ring binder. These pages WILL stay in place and never tear, come hell or high water.I have five 336-disc cases and three of the 216-disc cases (and three 3-ring binders which I am replacing- I really dislike them). It's a tough call deciding which size wallet to choose, assuming you need the storage; it's difficult to turn down the extra space as they sell for about the same price. This is a significant cost difference, as two of the larger cases hold more discs total than three of the smaller ones. But the larger one is a bit cumbersome and awkward and it can be difficult to get started opening the zipper. The 216-disc case is clearly easier to open, close, carry, and work with.But both are excellent products. They show no wear and tear after years, and there is no other system that can safely pack more films into so little space. If my cases were full, I would have over 2300 DVDs on 40 inches of shelf space- that's more than 50 DVDs per inch!! [NOTE: These numbers assume that you are not using up space in the case for cover art or any of the material that accompanies store-bought music or films.]UPDATE: September 3, 2012- I can't believe almost five years have passed since writing this review! But I wanted people to know that five years on, the cases are in exactly the condition they were when I bought them. Definitely a great product!
