OK, but only just.......2007-12-10
I was disappointed with the quality of these wallets. The last ones I got from Maplins were much thicker and heavier duty but not much more expensive. These will be ok for temporarily protecting CD's (if you want to send a data disk in the post one for example) but I wouldn't use them for long term storage.
A fantastic solution!.......2007-11-10
Strand CD Plastic Wallets are an unrivalled revolution in CD storage. Imagine my surprise when I was given a box of them by a loved one on Valentine's Day to open it and find not 1, not 65, not 82.5 but ONE HUNDRED of these invaluable storage units, essential for safeguarding my most treasured optical media from everyday wear and tear, as well as curious but slow-witted children.
Although it's not 100% certain Strand were the first people to come up with the idea, the transparency of these things just adds a whole new dimension to the CD experience, so they certainly deserve praise for at least recognising the transparency of CD wallets as being a tremendously good idea. I feel I'm able to appreciate the CD visually as much inside the wallet as outside, which is just a splendid added bonus really.
Another innovative part of these wallets' design is that they will hold ANY kind of CD. That's right; I have tried countless albums, from The Axel Boys Quartet to Zpandau Ballet and not one could cause the wallets to malfunction.
Finally, something which still amazes me to this day (and I have been a loyal user of Strand's wallets for 10 years now) is the sheer durability of the wallets. These wallets WILL NOT break under the brute force of any blunt object, such as a hammer, baseball bat or prosthetic limb. My eldest aunt-in-law and my best friend witnessed this test as carried out on a kitchen worktop and they can vouch for my findings should you not believe me!
And in fact, why should you believe me? For all you know I've never used these things in my life (though I have, and I'm all too glad I discovered them), and at their astonishingly low price it would be criminal not to put your current CD storage system aside to give these a trial. Give yourselves a pat on the back once again, Strand!
Beware of wrongly advertised items!.......2007-06-18
I used to buy these CD wallets when I lived in the UK. They are quite small and fit into my storage system. Since I can't get them in Ireland I thought I'd order some from the UK and placed an order with Big Depot. Then the problems started. This seller is one of far, far too many on Amazon UK whose service is so helpless and pathetic they can't make out how to send goods outside the UK (apparently their brain power does not allow them to write the name of a foreign country on an envelope and put an extra stamp on!) Consequently, I had to get this via a friend in the UK. The item seemed incredibly cheap but the postage was outrageous (about ten times the actual cost, so that's obviously how they make their money) and now some more postage had to be added to get the package sent on to Ireland. But worst of all, when it arrived the CD sleeves weren't at all the ones advertised. They are the wrong material and the wrong size (too big), and they are not by the advertised manufacturer. If I want to return them I have to pay a third lump of postage, not to mention the loss I will suffer because of the exchange rates when my money is returned to my card. Apparently, you should always contact sellers before buying anything on Amazon. Unfortunately, they often reply back that the goods are in a far-off depot and the requested information can't be accessed. Luckily most shopping via Amazon UK works fine, but there are these recurring problems with inaccurate advertising, lack of international delivery and apparently inaccessible information regarding the goods. Perhaps it is time that the company start to listen to critique and straighten these issues out.
the best you can get.......2006-06-12
great product for maximising space taken up by cds and ditching those foul jewel cases into the bargain
serious cd collectors will be sad to know there doesn't seem to be anywhere you can buy them cheaply by the 1000
'So so'.......2005-12-19
The Plastic wallets are quite good value. However, they are not very strong and the closing flap is of quite poor quality and comes undone easily.
Would only recomend if you wanted them to keep your cd's clean because they dont do much else.
