DVD Space Saver

(4 out of 5) by kidneuro on Aug 13, 2006 (Tinley Park, IL USA)
I really love the space savings of this storage system, although the 140 disc capacity can be misleading. The 140 capacity includes 16 slots on the inside surface of the cover (billed for 'easy access' to favorite discs, but also handy for storing a multi-disc set or two). Each of the 31 pages of Pro-sleeve storage has two storage pockets on one side (easily holding a DVD case insert or 2, or with folding, a DVD box liner). On the other side of each page, there are 4 slots to store discs. The design works well for keeping a DVD and bonus disc together with its package insert on each half page, with capacity for 62 DVD 2-disc sets using this arrangement.
The soft rubbery material of the pages hold the discs snugly. The two slots on each half-page are of different depths, with one covering most of the disc's surface and the other covering about half. The shallower pockets allow some of the disc label to show, making it easier to see which disc is in which pocket.
The binder system allows individual pages to be removed and re-inserted, but the design makes the process cumbersome. Plastic straps pass through two slots in each page and lock into the binder. Removal or insertion of a page involves unlocking the system (unsnapping a heavy snap - a potential breakdown area with repeated use) and withdrawing the straps from all of the pages between the lock and the desired page, then reinserting the straps through all of the other pages before locking the system again. Extra pages are available for purchase in sets of 10, making it a little easier to re-organize contents. Even though I have packed some of the pockets with layers of inserts, there seems to be room for several more pages in each case.
An older version of this case had a space in the handle for a label (allowing multiple storage cases to be marked for range of contents, for example), but the current ones do not.
All in all, the system allows for compression of DVDs and packaging in about one fifth of the space.

Suitable for DVDs not easily expandable/organizable

(5 out of 5) by pfred4peace on Aug 28, 2005 (NYC/CT USA)
This case is great for dvd's. It is easy to slip the covers (fold in half) into the slot. Also, holds 2 disks, which makes it convenient for the dvd extras disk. Unfortunately, it is the prosleeve style, which makes it difficult to move around the sheets. I have decided to order more and just type a titles and volume page to more easily locate the dvd's in each case.

Great Storage Poor Operation

(2 out of 5) by Lovet to read on Oct 15, 2006
We collect a lot of DVD's! I was quite excited to file them in this system. We have a smaller version that DOES have the three rings. Huge mistake in changing that. It is extremely difficult to file in DVD's in this storage system (the smaller one is great). Also, to ensure the movie is protected we like to place the whole sleeve on top of the player and then refile after viewing. Can't do that with this system. Buy the pages individually and put them in your own three ring binder.

Would be a 5 if the holding system was better

(4 out of 5) by DeeCue on Nov 1, 2006 (Cayman Islands)
I like this binder. It's great for organizing all our DVDs and it cuts down on the amount of space taken up by my kids' DVDs. I generaly get two DVD titles per sheet and have fitted many more refill sheets into the binder. My main problem with it is once organized (mine are in alphabetical order)it is difficult to reorganize because of the annoying straps as described by others below. I much prefer the 3 ring binder format, which I have in the smaller, single title per sheet binder.
The Amazon descriptions are very misleading because in some of the large double sheet binders, they show both the straps and 3 rings so you don't know what you'll be getting.

This product poorly/inaccurately described!!

(2 out of 5) by DeeCue on Apr 10, 2006 (Cayman Islands)
Having bought this I am disappointed to say that IT IS NOT 3 RING. It has the 2 straps as shown in the photo. It is not "a snap" to add pages and alphabetize your collection. I would buy another for the rest of our collection if it wasn't for that. Adding and removing pages is a HUGE hassle. Given it's size I like the carrying handle and the slots in the inside front cover for putting away discs quickly if you or more likely a lazy child does not want to search through the pages to put it back into its correct slot. Because of the zip closure you can also keep booklets that will not fit in the sleeves, in the binder without them falling out.
