> 3 dayAll of these inner sleeves seem overpriced, but these slide into the jacket easier and are a little less expensive. This is my second order of them and all is good.

> 3 dayPaper sleeves are so gritty they remind me of sandpaper. The smooth surfaces in these will make them less likely to scratch records. Paper sleeves leave dirt on records. Using this type of sleeve after cleaning keeps records clean.

Greater than one weekRecently, Ive started to up my game when it comes to my vinyl collection. I have some stuff Ive paid top dollar for at my local record store and usually, this type of sleeve is included with those records. I like to go thrift store and yard sale searching for records as well, which can yield some good titles but sometimes the record is loose in the album, or it contains a rumpled paper sleeve, which at this point probably does more to scratch the record than to protect it. For example, sometimes I find some record gold such as, last week I found a copy of Introducing the Beatles ... a rare album ... at a flea market. The cover was a little beat up and there was no paper sleeve to protect the record from sliding across the cardboard. I slid it into one of these and now its safely protected and likely to last a lot longer and play a lot better. These might seem expensive but with how fast the value of records is appreciating, its a good investment. Paper and cardboard sleeves are rough and can scratch the surface as the grooved vinyl slides around on it. Paper can also suck in moisture, even if its only the air around it thats humid. Once that happens, you can get powdery mold paper sleeves that smell like mildew. These plastic sleeves are much less likely to retain moisture from humid air. Your vinyl will stay in pristine shape for longer. Another benefit to these is that many brand new albums come with thin cardboard sleeves inside the outer cardboard sleeve. This can mean more clicks and pops when playing a record because small specs of paper dust will get onto the record and into the grooves. You wont have that issue with rice paper and plastic. I will say that these claim to be anti-static but I do find they may add static, even more so than paper sleeves, to the record when you put it on a turntable. These make the record slide in and out of the outer cardboard easy and they slide in easily as well. I like it much better than trying to put an inner cardboard or paper sleeve into an outer cardboard sleeve, especially if the outer sleeve is old or on not great shape. The only concerns you might have would be that if you are a collector, you never want to completely replace the original inner paper sleeve with this because collectors want that original inner sleeve to stay with the record. Also, some records with thicker inner-sleeves that you do replace with these might slide out easier because these thin sheets are really thin and the outer album sleeve could have extra space where a thicker sleeve should go. I also dont love the logo strip across the top of the record on the clear front of the sleeve. It takes away from being able to see your record through the clear sleeve. Overall though, I couldnt be happier with the product. I have a lot of records but 50 of these should last me a while. Your records will have less scratches and wear, which means they will play clearer and with less pops and crackles. I highly recommend any record hunter to replace the old paper or cardboard sleeves (unless original paper sleeves on valuable records) with these. They will make a difference ... its what pro engineers and archivists use. They are worth every penny.

> 3 dayThese are truly fabulous. Far better than any Ive purchased. I collect antique records. I look in thrift stores and used record stores for vinyl in excellent condition. I actually play them, care for them, clean them. I dont collect them just for display. Records are meant to be played. But in order to do so, you HAVE to care for them. Most of the time, when I find a record in mint condition, the sleeve has not been tended to, and doesnt give the protection that it should. Having a collection of excellent vinyl sleeves is mandatory. and you wont find better than these.

> 3 dayIve used all kinds of vinyl inner sleeves over the past few years. Ive used paper (it disintegrates), plastic (tends to get floppy), and the best is rice paper and plastic that reduces static, provides some structure, and prevents paper disintegration and slides in easily. I would have sworn before that the 50 inner and 50 outer for like $20~$25 was the way to go, but...dang. These are the highest quality inner sleeves Ive ever seen. They are THICK. Not too thick, but...substantial. Theres paper but it dont touch your record. Its just there to absorb moisture and its on the opposite side of the plastic. The double sided plastic rice paper feel is perfect. Smooth, anti-static, slides in and out easily, reeks of quality. Amazing. If money is no object I would buy only these to sleeve your vinyl records if you want to keep them pristine.

> 3 dayThese inter sleeves are thicker than MOFI & INVEST IN VINYL inner sleeves . Much easier to use and seem to have less dust in them when new. Nothing worse than putting a new fresh cleaned record in a new sleeve, pull it back out and its got dust on it again. I highly recommend ZOLEF sleeves.
