Summary: BE WARNED !!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I JUST DECIDED TO MINIMIZE MY CD BULK BECAUSE I WAS MOVING. SO I GOT THE 208 COUNT CASE LOGIC CD BOOK. I GOT RID OF ALOT OF MY CD BOOKLETS BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T FIT IN THE SLEEVES WITH A CD. LITTLE DID I KNOW IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR BOOKLETS THEN THIS IS A 104 CD HOLDER. I ALSO DICOVERED THAT CDS STORED IN THE LOWER SLEEVES GET REALLY SCRATCHED BY A LITTLE PLASTIC EDGE WHEN SLIDING OUT OR ON THEIR WAY IN. I GUESS THIS CASE WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE HAD I PUT A CD IN THE TOP SLEEVE AND THE BOOKLET IN THE BOTTOM. BUT I WARN YOU NOT TO STORE CDS IN THE LOWER SLEEVES.

Summary: I've tried them all, and...
Review: ...this is the best yet. I've been shopping for the perfect way to store my massive CD and DVD collections for months, nay, years. I invested in an electronic storage device that broke down, shelves that took up half my living room, and displays that made my apartment look like a cheap dorm room. Finally, I hesitantly ordered four of these and threw out my complex case-n-label system. What a relief! These are so compact, sleek looking, very well made, and easy to use and maintain. My only complaint is that the sleeves cannot be removed or added, so keeping them alphebetized and categorized, as I do, is somewhat of a pain. I leave blank slots here and there for future additions. Also, if you want to keep the paper jackets, you'll need additional slots, as these quickly make the pages very bulky.

Summary: The spine matters
Review: Good case. The steel spine with carrying handle make it worth the cost. Cases larger than this one are too difficult to handle. If you need a large case, this is a very good choice.

Summary: After trying the rest, I decided on the best
Review: I looked at a lot of different CD storage options when my wife and I found out we were expecting our first child. I knew it would be impractical to keep my CD collection on CD racks, where the little one could grab them. (I was concerned about the safety of my child as well as the safety of my CDs - honest.) I wanted to protect my CDs and my child without taking up too much space or spending an obscene amount of money. After looking at all of the available options and trying out a number of CD wallets, I decided to go with this model - which in my opinion, offered the most advantages with the fewest disadvantages.

Pros:

First, they're an incredible space saver. I chose a wallet storage system because any other storage system to house my collection would take up too much space. Personally, I like to keep the liner notes together with the CD, which means this model holds 104 CDs and booklets. Still, 20 of these wallets take up only a small fraction of the space compared to CD racks, shelves, or drawers.

Second, they look classy. The Koskin model (mock leather) in my opinion looks nicer than nylon. If you're going to have a few of these taking up space on a shelf, it's important to have them look nice - not like some cheap thing you kept in your dorm room.

Third, the index tab on the spine of the CD is very convenient if you have more than one of these wallets. You can label the contents of the wallet to enable you to easily find the discs you want to hear.

Fourth, they provide great protection. I have never had any CD scratched because of these sleeves.

Fifth, they are incredibly durable, and have a lifetime guarantee. None of my sleeves have ever torn. I have yet to have a reason to return one of these wallets, so I don't know whether the company will give the customer a run-around to enforce the guarantee.

Finally, they're portable. It's great to grab 400+ CDs in my hands to move them from room to room, or bring them with me on a trip. If the CDs were in their jewel cases, there's no way I could grab that many CDs in one trip.

Cons:

First, if you are anal like me, and like to keep your CDs in alphabetical order, it is time consuming to move all the CDs and booklets around when you buy a new CD. Removable pages would be more convenient. However, I usually try to leave a few sleeves open, so that I don't have to move all the CDs every time I buy a new one, but still, after awhile, the wallet fills up and you have to reorganize. I did try out a CD wallet that had a three ring binder with removable pages - but the pages did not turn as well as the Case Logic pages, it did not appear as durable, and the sleeves had a top to them that made getting discs in and out more of a pain (which led to torn sleeves).

Second, while most typical liner notes fit into the sleeves pretty well, some fit tight, and extensive CD booklets (such as the Who's Quadrophenia) do not fit at all. Out of a collection of 2000+ CDs, there are only about 10 where I've had to put the booklet in the sleeve sideways, with half of the booklet hanging out of the sleeve. While I'd prefer it to fit perfectly, I understand that if the sleeves were made bigger, the CDs could fall out and become damaged.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the look and durability provided by this model. It's not perfect, but I doubt any storage system is.

Summary: How many of these reviewers work for Caselogic?
Review: I mean, c'mon, who really cares about these CD holders enough to write a long manifesto on them? This genuflecting to the god of CD holders business is a bit ridiculous. It's a binder. It holds CDs. Let's not get too excited, eh?

Summary: Expanding Music Collection
Review: This is a great CD case. I've actually upgraded from the half size that holds 104 cd-rs. Before reading the reviews I had already made my choice and decided that the KSR-208 was the best bet. After reading reviews I was disappointed that the sleeves were not removable and would be difficult to oragnize once put into the sleeves. I found that to be wrong. The sleeves are removeable and hell if they are removable I'm sure you can find the sleeves to expand. I know this case should be able to hold more.

Otherwise a great upgrade for those, who like me, are looking to expand their music collection and find that there old cases have cds falling out of them.

Summary: Put Me Back in the Record Sleeve.....
Review: This is the best CD wallet I've seen. I had no idea, but it holds my ENTIRE CD collection! I was thinking I would have to buy another one, just for my Jazz CDs....but nope, it holds them too!! (The only exception being my Charlie Parker box set, the liner notes were too big for the sleeves. SO I left it out.) It has a nice looking exterior, with a leather feel. Inside are stout sleeves (which, if done correctly, can usually hold the CD liner notes AND the CD. I tried not to overdo it though, it bends the pages. Too many, one in every sleeve would not be a good thing). SO anyway, the main reason I get rid of most of the CDs I get (unless I absolutely cherish them) is because I have no room to put them! WELL, I am going to buy another one, and it is likely going to be the only other one I need! If you're considering getting one, look no further. This one beats them all. Period.
