Outer Record Sleeves for 12 Inch Vinyl Records (10, 12 Inch Oversized)

I got the combo pack because I only needed a few standard an 2 oversized one, anyway they both fit great they are nice an thick as well. The only reason it dont get 5 stars for me is that there isn't a flap to fold into the protector that would of made these 5 stars but I just taped the lip down so no dust will get in. They really are amazing vinyl protectors and at a reasonable price. I would defenintly recommend these. They standard one will fit a single vinyl with no gatefold but it will fit a single vinyl with a gatefold very tightly. The oversized fits my double album vinyl with gatefold perfectly. Hope my review helps anyone trying to buy these. (UPDATED) To my surprise the company read my review and and saw how taped down my lip and sent me out the same pack I purchased only with a flap so I didn't have to take it down. Truly a customer friendly company they defenintly surprised me when I came home to another package of vinyl sleeves. So I take my 4 stars an give them 5 because other than me taping the lip that was my only issue an now I don't have to use tape with the new ones they sent!!!

Made of crystal clear shiny "archival" vinyl so the album art shows wonderfully. Really lets the album art shine! Seriously. I've had my albums in these cheap record protection outer sleeves for years and they always depressed me by how "baggy" they looked and felt. These are like shiny clear raincoats or a thin clear shower curtains or something... I believe if and when they get dusty they will be easily cleanable and they definitely seem durable. I was able to fit a 180 gram gate-fold LP into one pretty easily if anyone is wondering. I just wish this company will eventually come out with a wider version for box sets.I am of course all excited now to finally be able to see my record covers after years of looking at them through the equivalent of thick sandwich bags. I just got these so I haven't really tested how they will work out in the long run but I expect that they will perform admirably. I will update this review if anything goes amiss. Right now I'd just like everyone to buy some so the company will stay in business because I'm not sure I could ever go back to the horrible days of those other outer sleeves...So buy them! Use them to store CD's! worried about wet socks? Wear them on your feet! They look waterproof! Protect your eyes from spiders with them! They might hold juice! Great for storing vinyl but why stop there?

Very thick outer sleeves, water proof and static free. I've covered all my albums with these because they look so good and I'm pretty ridiculous about treating all my records the same.It's easy to get my albums in these sleeves. The thicker albums take a little more effort but all have been fitting so far. See photo for comparison.I love how they make my old, rescued from my mother's basement, albums feel new again. The heavy, structured plastic protects the cover art which of course I cleaned the best I could before covering with sleeves.I want to preserve my albums so I can hopefully pass on to my son one day. So I guess 70 cents per sleeve was worth it. Wish they were a little cheaper but I paid more so I can get top quality!So far, I don't have any complaints about them.

These sleeves are super heavy duty and fit snug, they seem to offer a higher level of protection than other sleeves I have tried. Clarity is also top notch, of all the sleeves I have tried record spines are easiest to read through the seam with these. They are open on one end so dust protection is not as complete as the sleeves that have flaps (but the snug fit helps, Groove Vinyl does indeed make a version with a flap, I'll have to try those). There is not much in the way of give so good luck getting gatefold covers in these (Groove Vinyl also makes a larger gatefold/double LP size). I like these for albums that are in pristine shape and with spectacular cover art. They are expensive though so I give them 4 stars, if my budget would allow me to be only concerned with quality I'd easily give 5 stars. I have not heard of the material they are made from (vinyl) being reactive with cover inks or paper (possibly a concern with polyethylene - not sure I spelled that correctly - sleeves especially at higher room temperatures and with the acidic cardboard stock used on some older album covers) These appear to be a good choice for valuable collectibles, provided they fit.(they may not on some larger older album jackets like Mercury Living Presence or RCA Living Stereo, the larger version would likely work). Be advised that as these are made from vinyl they can store surface static electricity just as a record can, should not be any more of a problem than is already posed by the records themselves. Now the best thing to do would be for us to abandon our stupid computers and spin some vinyl to feed our souls -- enjoy -- whatever your musical taste may be.

Definitely my favorite vinyl plastic sleeves so far.I've tried the Vinyl Styl sleeves and most of them felt baggy except for multi-LP, gatefold jackets. These are very clear, really allowing you to see and appreciate album artwork and the spines are easy to read when they're stacked or on the shelf. (As opposed to baggy sleeves where you can't see the spines easily and they're "swimming" in the baggy sleeve.) And since they fit well, it's relatively easy to take the record out without having to worry about the jacket coming out of the plastic sleeve. It remains to be seen how these will hold up in the long term. But overall, the quality of the sleeve is great. The only thing that holds me back from buying more right away is the price. You do get what you pay for.

Without exception, these are the best record sleeves available. Previously made with a flap, these open ended sleeves are perfect for regular use. Flapped version is ideal for long-term storage. Five mil plastic is thickest, clearest on the market. Quality plastic should not yellow or crack over time - they are just soft and pliable enough to feel good in your hands. Did I say crystal clear? Groove Vinyl has a winner here, if they’d only make some more.

These are a gorgeous, though premium priced outer sleeve. They're a lovely quality, fit my regular and most gatefold albums, and really provide an eye popping view of the album art itself. I've just ordered more and plan to use them for my entire collection. Much more expensive than some of the other styles of outer sleeves, but well worth it in my opinion.

Great product, high quality and very durable. No issues thus far.

Ive used a ton of different record sleeves and can say that these are easily some of the best I've come across. Very tough yet crystal clear, allowing you to view and showcase your albums. A++I had an issue with the order and the people at Groove Vinyl quickly resolved it with amazing customer service. Truly a remarkable company that values its customers.
