Vinyl Styl? VS-P-006 12 Inch Outer Record Sleeves - Open Top - 100 Count - (Clear)

Let me just start off by saying that the Vinyl Style sleeves are great. They seem very durable and are big enough to accommodate double/triple vinyl sets. My review is simply meant to provide an answer to a question I posted before ordering my Vinyl Styl 100 pack, which was "what's the difference between these and the Big Fudge outer sleeves?" I didn't get the answer I was looking for, so I hope my comparison is helpful. Here are my observations about the two: 1) Size: the Vinyl Styl (VS) sleeves are about 1/4" bigger (so 1/8" on all sides) than the Big Fudge (BF) ones. This is great for thicker albums (2-4 records), but I found them to be tad too loose for my personal tastes when it came to placing my regular 1 record albums in them. I think I prefer to have the slightly more "snug" fit of the Big Fudge sleeves, but then again, that could also be because I'm just used to that sizing. You may prefer the looser fit of Vinyl Styl. 2) Look: the VS sleeves have more opacity than the BF ones, which lean more towards being fully transparent. VS sleeves have a slightly white/milky look to them, whereas the BF ones lean more towards being crystal clear. I tried to take pic of the two side by side so you can see. They're not the best pics, but please feel free to refer to them so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. I've gotten used to my BF ones, so I have a preference for that particular look. You may prefer the VS ones. 3) Feel: the VS sleeves have what I can only describe as a slightly more "rubbery", floppy feel to them. The BF ones on the other hand feel a tad more "plasticy" and crisp; the problem I've found with this is that I've had a few tear on the seams, and maybe it was just a bad batch, but BF was quick to replace them for me. In this department, honestly I like that the VS ones seem more durable, but I also like how crisp the BF ones feel. I'm a bit particular when it comes to keeping things uniform throughout my collection, so it's probable that I'll pstick with BF for the rest of my collection. They are both wonderful sleeves however, and the key thing is that I believe both brands will do a great job at protecting your collection. I'm giving 5 stars these, despite the fact that I don't love house loose they are. They're still great sleeves, and the value is unbeatable.

These are the sleeves I keep going back to. They are very sturdy/strong. A little loose on some single albums, but great for single and double albums, and albums with thicker covers. I get them for protection, not to look pretty so it's all good! Great sleeves, great price! I will keep buying them!!

I've tried other brands/other sizes of sleeves and to me these seem to be my favorite that I have tried so far. I believe the dimensions of these (12.75 x 12.75) allow for a better fit for gatefold double LPs, gatefold LPs that only have one LP, etc. as opposed to some others that have 12.5 as one of the dimensions; those with 12.5 seem to be a bit too snug and harder to take off and put back on after listening to a record. These Vinyl Styls are a looser fit but that happens to be my preference for LP storage.

Protect your vinyl collection easily with these clear sleeves. They might be a tad baggy on your average LP, but these are more then adequate for those double/triple gate fold LPs. I've tried one other off brand of sleeves and they fit weird and ripped easy. I'll only use Vinyl Styl from now on (no I wasn't paid to say that - but if you need a spokesman... just saying). Sleeves slide on/off without a problem. I have over 700 records and I'm working my way around to eventually having them all in a sleeve to keep the older record jackets from getting any more wear-and-tear than they already have. Every new record goes into one the day it comes home from the record store. I know some people gripe they can't read the spine of the jacket, yadda yadda yadda... I don't need to read. I have my collection organized and I know where everything is so readily I can pick out a record without barely looking. Regardless - you can still make out what the printing says if you really needed to. The photos show the thickest record jacket I've seen so far at 1/2" thick (that's massive for an LP). These Vinyl Style sleeves can handle this beast (and the sleeve isn't extremely tight either - still slides on/off without a fuss), they'll easily go over those prized double LP/gate fold records you have. Highly recommended.

First, the pros. (1) A strong seam that will not rip under normal use. (2) 12 3/4 wide so gatefold and tip-on LP jackets fit with no problems. (3) These are 3 mils thick and protect your albums from ring wear and such. Now, the cons. (1) They are hazy and not crystal clear. (2) The sleeves are open at the top with no flaps so the albums are not completely protected from spills and the like. (3) Since the sleeves are wider than some, most albums covers will fit loosely. A recommendation would depend on personal preference and how you store your vinyl albums. If you store your LPs in shelves or in storage boxes or cases with lids then the Vinyl Styl outer sleeves will be fine. If you like to display your records on the wall or you store them in wooden album crates with open tops, then you may want to choose another kind.

I’ve been using these for a couple of years now and they are the best sleeve out there for the money. They are also perfectly sized. I just wish the 100 pack would stay in stock.

This is the only brand of record sleeves I purchase. They fit all the records very nicely and even fit a double pack. They last and keep your vinyl safe from external factors. Our basement flooded once and thanks to having these sleeves, the records weren’t destroyed. (The water didn’t go over the records completely, but they were about halfway submerged)

The sleeves are a little large but allow for doubles. They feel great and are high quality.

Great product 👌

Muy útiles para conservar las portadas de mi colección de Lp's.

These are the “soft feel” plastic sleeves best suited for lp records. On a usage note, they are pliable to fit most double thickness record jackets released these days. This 100 pack is extremely good value for money too.

I will certainly buy again thanks

Tamaño perfecto para LP's. Incluso caben álbumes dobles. Protegen muy bien portada y contraportada y evitan que polvo se pueda meter. Para puristas puede tener el detalle que con el tiempo no quedan tan transparentes como nuevos.
