★★★★☆
These are good sleeves, but I like the DiscKeeper Audiophile Sleeves better for just a little more $$.
I primarily use three types of inner record sleeves: 1) The DiscKeeper 2.0 Anti-static sleeves - you can get these for $9.99 + $3 Media Mail shipping direct from Sleeve City, or here on Amazon for $14.99 Prime. I use these for the bulk of my lesser - mid value vinyl and they are good utility sleeve for a fair price. They are a 2.0 mil sleeve, and I don't try to slide them into the record jacket sleeve, as they tend to crumple up. I put the record jacket into the outer protective sleeve, then slide this sleeve with the record in it external to record jacket. Makes for easier access to the vinyl, as you don't have to pull the entire record jacket out of the out protective sleeve to play the record. 2) These MoFi Sleeves - they just a tad thicker than the DiscKeeper 2.0, and have one side opaque and backed with a lining to make the sleeve a little more rigid. I use them the same way as the DiscKeeper 2.0, and don't try to slide these into the record jacket - they are also a little thin for this. They are a little higher quality than the 2.0's, and for the extra money proved a little better manageability. 3) The DiscKeeper Audiophile sleeves. These are a little more than $$ than these Mofi sleeves, you can get the Audiophile sleeve for $19.99 plus $3 shipping direct from Sleeve City. But, for my needs, the Audiophile sleeves are worth the little extra expense if you want maximum protection for your more cherished vinyl. The Audiophile sleeves are backed on one side with a thick "rice" paper stock sandwiched between polyethylene, but the inner portion is still polyethylene so it offers good protection. It is also easier to slide the Audiophile sleeve into the record jacket if you wish, because the added thickness / rigidity means they do not want to crumple up as easily and slide in much better. I like these sleeves a lot for the money, and I prefer to use these for my high valued vinyl. I still like these MoFi sleeves, and own 100 of them - but for the price, and if I had to choose based on price to value, I would choose the DiscKeeper Audiophile sleeve (#3) for my higher valued vinyl, and then choose the DiscKeeper 2.0 (#1) for a more utility sleeve. Your mileage may vary, mine is just an opinion and not right or wrong, so choose based on your own criteria. Thanks for reading.
