Vinyl Styl 12 Inch Vinyl Record Protective Outer Sleeves- Open Top - 50 Count (Clear)

Excellent cover's

Considering I just got these in the mail today and I paid $8.99 for them, it's shocking to see them go up to $22... Amazon what?? Anyway, for 8.99 they're great. Some reviews complain of a little extra room in them but I completely disagree-- if a lot of your collection includes gatefolds, these ones are a good fit for them. I have a 3xLP that fits just fine in there. Single records may feel a little loose, but that doesn't bother me at all since I shelf them with the sleeve facing upward.

These are pretty straightforward, except that they don't feel 3 mil. I bought Groove Vinyl sleeves first, and needed more so I got these. Pricing was about the same, and both advertised 3 mil thickness, but the Groove Vinyl definitely feel thicker. I blind tested with my wife and she said right away the Grooves feel thicker. The sleeves seem to scuff fairly easily too. These were all a holdover until the MoFi sleeves showed up, so let's hope archival quality means no scuffing, and that they're actually the thickness advertised.

These are about what you'd expect, comparable to any other sleeve I've ever used, not remarkable but certainly not bad at all. They're a heavier plastic so a bit cloudy, but I kind of prefer the heavier plastic as it "feels safer" somehow, haha. I have a very small vinyl collection so I wouldn't call myself a true vinyl collector, but for the wax I have I really think these are more than doing the job.

When I decided to get my albums into outer sleeves, I looked at the variety of options on here, and my head was spinning. Further, many reviews are overly critical, with the reviewers looking for perfectly clear sleeves, I mean c’mon; for those though, I have added a picture.I opted for these VinylStyl sleeves since they are reasonable price compared to others, and I am familiar with the brand having bought their their record cleaning kit. I am very pleased I did. They work with all my LPs included the gatefolded double-LP sets. Just take note: Though described as the classic 12.75 x 12.75 they are actually closer to 13 x 13, so again for the overly critical looking for the perfect fit, then you may want to reconsider. Sturdy, no rips.I will buy these again.
