Nylon 320-Disc CD Wallet (Black) Reviews

• A first rate product

  
  By A1NR59KNVO9QQY on 2005-05-13
  Like the other Case Logic CDW wallets, this one has removalbe pages, holds the discs securely, and has room for rather substantial liner notes. Those that won't fit in the sleeves will fit in the pockets up front.
  
  Because of the unique design of the locking system however, inserting papges is not particularly easy -- the rings lock in front of the first page, so to insert a page, you have to pull out all of the pages in front of it. It would have made more sense to have it lock in the back -- that is where you would either want to add pages, or remove the extra ones.
  
  All in all, we are pleased ... it is a great way to store our cd's, it gets rid of that major shelving system we bought only for our discs, and, frankly, the discs are more accessible, than in some of those fancy jewell cases.
  
  My favorite aspect of the wallets is that we actually listen to our music more -- we were storing our discs in our library -- away from our stereo, so you actually had to make an effort to pull the discs if you wanted to listen to them. Because these books are so much more portable, they are where our stereo is.
  
  I foresee the future holding all music electronically, on demand. But in the meantime, several of us own thousands of CD's and this seems to be the best way to store and protect them.
  
  (PS I understand the hesitation of actually tossing the jewell cases -- all I can say is DO IT!!! It feels fine. And if worse comes to worse, pull them open and save the inserts.)
  
  

• Bring back the 3-ring binder system!

  
  By A1S8FJT0AQSF60 on 2006-06-02
  Case Logic cases used to have 3-ring binders. When you wanted to remove a page of discs, you just popped it open and put it into another binder wherever you wanted. Now, with their ridiculous quick-lock system (or whatever the name is that some bozo in marketing made up), if you want to move a page, you have to remove ALL THE PAGES THAT COME BEFORE IT! And these aren't holes in the pages, these are SLITS! It's made organizing my collection a miserable activity.
  
  And why did they make this change? Because it's undoubtedly cheaper to make a binding system out of plastic than it is out of metal. And by boasting about the new system, they further insult our intelligence by pretending that it's more desirable and functional than their previous system. It's not. It's better than a case in which you can't remove the pages at all, but that's about it. Case Logic cases are otherwise well made, but this one flaw/change, especially after they'd gotten us used to the three-ring binders, is infuriating.
  
  

• Great solution to CD Storage -- get rid of your jewel cases!

  
  By A6ILGJICTKQOP on 2006-02-26
  It is wonderful grabbing one of these cases and flipping thru the pages to find my CDs, rather than pawing thru jewel cases, knocking over the stacks of them, and giving up after a half hour of searching. I have 3 CDW-320's, each holding a different genre of music. In a fire, I could grab all three cases and go, where that would've been impossible before. By my calculations, the physical space used by my CD collection has decreased by 40%!
  
  The way to do what I did is to get rid of the jewel cases entirely. To do that, do this for each CD you own:
  1) Each side of each CDW-320 page has four pockets. Put the CD in one of the two top-most Pockets on a page.
  2) Put the CD's booklet in the pocket underneath its CD.
  3) Finally, pop open the CD case (it takes just a little force) and pry out the back-of-the-CD card. Straighten out the folds of that card, and slide it in sideways into the bottom pocket, behind the CD's booklet. It will stick up over the top of the pocket, but since it's in the bottom and the CD's in the top, it doesn't hurt anything. The back card will just cover up a little of the CD.
  
  Continuing in this fashion will allow you to fill up the wallet with 160 CDs, since each CD takes up two pockets. Double and Triple CD cases work similarly, and just use up more pocket-pairs.
  
  When you take out a CD to play it, you can take out the booklet too, and see the back-card with the tracklisting through the clear pockets. You never have to take the back-card out, which is good, since its straightened-out folds may be delicate and may rip with too much handling.
  
  Finally, you can recycle the jewel cases, saving a few in case you want to lend a CD to someone.
  
  One other plus to this one over the other Case Logic cases: not only is it the biggest, but it allows the pages to be removed and shuffled. Like another reviewer said, it's a pain, but at least it's doable. The smaller cases do not have this feature.
  
  
  

• Just bought it, about to return it.

  
  By A2U2D9H21YZZQ6 on 2005-08-31
  I like the idea. The design is lacking. Even with no CDs in it whatsoever, it is easy to see the problems ahead. With the case open wide, the outer-center support caves in, not allowing for the case to be full with CDs and open at the same time. In other words, if you hope to store to capacity, forget about navigating it. I put between twenty and thirty CDs in groups at different spots in the case, figuring I would fill in the spots with similar styles, etc. later. It just isn't going to work. I don't know if this is just too large a capacity for any case to hold. However, I have a case by another company that holds a couple hundred, which I am very happy with. I will return this tomorrow and order a second of my other case. It looks like a couple hundred at a time is plenty for any case to hold. I don't know whether Case Logic's other larger capacity holders are good or not. I have a couple smaller Case Logic CD wallets that are quite nice. I think they need to take this one off the market. It chased me away to another brand for my couple-hundred holder.
  
  

• SOOO Much Better Than the Rest

  
  By A1C7AWRBS7IUM7 on 2006-03-14
  So this is the maximum--320 (or 336 counting the space in the front pocket). This is also one of the cheapest 320 disc capacity CD binders on the market. I've owned this particular model for 10 months now and it has performed EXCELLENTLY!
  
  First: the price. You just can't beat a binder this big for under $30.
  
  Second: the quality. The nylon material shows absolutely NO WEAR after almost a year of tossing it around.
  
  Third: construction. The handstrap does exactly what it should do--make this much easier to carry around. Outside is durable and the inside is sleek and clean. Discs aren't scratched by abrasive sleeves and they are NOT bent if they are in the front or the back of the binder--a problem that many of the other binders have.
  
  The only con for the whole thing, which I feel bad even saying, is that when you go to zip it back up you sometimes have to 'guide' the zipper for the first inch to get it started. And this is nothing that you should consider, as with the size of this binder, this should be expected.
  
  As far as shopping around, I went out this week to buy a second one of these--for space reasons--and found a Leather Case Logic 320 at my local KMart for $33. So take your pick.
  
  All pros, practically no cons. If you're shopping around just stop here. This is as good as it gets.
  
  
• Great for organization and efficiency
  By AUWNONRP9PNJW on 2006-02-01
  Those who possess great passion for and have varied taste in music may have personal CD collections containing hundreds or thousands of CD's.
  
  This large of a collection can be unsightly, if displayed for ease of access, may consume valuable living space, and can become a hastle to keep organized.
  
  I have about 600 CD's presently, and have recently consolodated them into three CaseLogic binders. I was given one as a Christmas gift, but was reluctant to dispose of my inserts (for nostalgic value more than anything else). But, I finally took the plunge and began organizing and filing my CD's into these cases. I chose to cut the front page of the insert from the booklets and include that single slip-sheet in front of my CD's. This method provides a really neat appearance and is helpful in locating discs whose covers I recognize by sight.
  
  By using these cases, the area occcupied by my CD collection has been effectively reduced my approximately 95%! Additionally, organization is easier to maintain with this system. And, if you need to add a disc at any time (which I assume we all will) the pages are removable for easy re-arrangement!
  
  In my opinion, this system of CD storage is far superior to the shelving method that I used for so many years. For those rare CD's which are of extremely high-value, it is not necessary to snip the covers on those. Just because you have the ability to conserve space and organize CD's with this system doesn't mean that you HAVE to with every disc. I have a few such discs that remain in their original packaging.
  
  On another note, my first order arrived severely damaged, and Amazon replced it no questions asked. The new one arrived within two days! Amazon customer service is Awesome!!! You have no worries when ordering through Amazon.com!
  
  
  
  
  
  
• very unhappy
  By A23UORI7P6BIEL on 2006-07-19
  I have bought 2 other 320 cases in the past...they changed them and made them really cheap...the handle is bad...the sewing is bad...and the change of design..is very bad...case logic has lost all my business from now on...waisted 30 dollars on this piece of junk...I will shop for a different brand, and throw this one in back of a shelf
  
  
• Very good case, but overpriced
  By A3H6PPWWDIC8KX on 2005-12-21
  Mine is just about full and I have just placed an order for another--the sincerest form of positive review.
  The zipper of this unit is a little difficult to "get started" when it is completely unzipped, but otherwise this case seems to be very well designed. I have had no durability problems despite toting this case across the state dozens of times.
  
  The only reason this item was rated 4 stars is that I feel it is overpriced. This item could be manufactured and shipped for about $8 each, but the actual cost was quite a lot more than that at the time of my purchase. Still, you get what you pay for, and this is the best high-capacity CD/DVD folder I've ever used.
  
  
• Excellent Case
  By A12PR2WHNILMKZ on 2006-05-12
  The price is exceptional. Yeah, other's may be cheaper but the others on the market are weak compared to this. The nylon is smooth and sturdy. The zipper is of good quality, not flimsy. The slots can hold the disks oh so well. It slides in and out with no forcing or jabbing. I've had mines close to 2 years and it's as new looking as the first day. And I use it everyday. I throw it around, kicked it, dropped it, and it even fell out of a moving car and over 2 stories of stairs. No harm! The edges haven't even been bent! Even the Cds were all intact. I've spilled milk, water on the cover and it wipes up easily with a rag and water. The material is so good that my cats don't even want to use it as a scratching post, lol. And they love to scratch EVERYTHING. I love, love the front slots. I wonder how I ever lived without this. The sheets are removable though it may take a while to take out - that's great, makes it harder so they dont' fall out accidentally. I highly recommend this! They sell out sooo fast everywhere, including Amazon. So I just bought a second one for later on. The quality, ease of function, and durability is exceptional! It's been a while that something made me sooo happy! Buy it while you can!
  
  
• Horribly Flimsy
  By A31U66H9EPF9C8 on 2006-12-08
  I bought this case mostly because I can no longer find my usual 280 Fellowes CD carrying case and usually Caselogic has great products but this one is just too flimsy. The pages arent durable at all and difficult to move around. Anytime you have the case open, searching through anything becomes a hard task because the individual pages are so weak and everything becomes a mess. I wouldn't recommend this case to anyone and you are much better off going with another brand.
  
  
• Minimize the storage space of your collection
  By A2NOPTGUONU5EQ on 2006-08-02
  As the specificiations say, it has pages to hold 320 discs (or 160 with liner notes) with additional capacity on the inside cover. For those who prefer to keep liner notes, I found that each individual pocket is large enough to hold both a disc and liner note only if liner notes are thin. As a test, I put 320 discs with liner notes and found the wallet became too bulky, too heavy. Overall the wallet works well and looks good. This product is also available in faux leather, which may be preferred by some.
  
  
• Very good value for your money
  By A3MVGT4QXBBZR8 on 2006-08-10
  I'm very happy with this CD Wallet. I used to have stacks of DVD's and they collected dust and took lots of space. It was hard to find the DVD I wanted or simply browse them. Now it is all very organized and easy to browse. I don't care about the order; I just stick DVD's into the sleeves in the pages, 8 per page (4 per side). I don't take this case anywhere so I'm not sure how robust it will be in the long run but for home use it is very good. Good return on investment. I'm not totally happy with the zipper location but it's not an issue overall. Good quality. Recommended.
  Amazon shipping was as promissed.
  
  
• Broken Zipper
  By APVBD97L4YXXX on 2007-01-04
  Zipper's break way to easy, I have eleven cases, four zippers broke withend
  3 months.
  
  
• Great product
  By A3SFN7ECK78CEV on 2007-01-15
  I have large cd and dvd collections, and have found that using these types of cases is great. The jewel cases and dvd cases take up so much room, and jewel cases often become scratched and cracked eyesores. I can put my entire music or film collections into a few cases, and they can be stored easily anywhere. I don't put the booklets in the case with the discs, because it reduces the storage capacity and because cd booklets are often beat up or torn up to begin with. Since the discs themselves are the important thing, these binders make a great and safe storage option. No more endless shelves and cabinets, you can easily have thousands of discs worth of music or film in these cases and store them with little space. A great product for storing and protecting expensive media collections. This is well worth the money.
  
  
• Farewell Dust-Bunnies, you will not be missed....
  By A1B103JPS5M0HJ on 2007-05-18
  My CD collection is a prized possession, but in this digital age I reach for my iPod far more frequently than I do a CD. So I took the plunge and stored all of my CD's in this Disc Wallet. The mountain of discarded jewel cases will not be missed (or the dust, that kept me sneezing throughout the transfer process).
  
  I agree with other reviewers who complain about the tedious procedure involved with adding/removing pages. It's completely clumsy, but you can manage to do it with a little time and patience. I also would have liked some sort of "index pocket" on the spine of each wallet, so that you could label them (so you would know at a glance which one has A-thru-D, E-thru-H, etc.). Overall, I'm pleased with the look and construction of them though. They really hold a LOT of CD's in a very small amount of space. I can't give any indication of how the pages will hold up under the wear & tear of people who access their CD's constantly. I plan to use them for storage, and will rarely need to flip thru the pages.
  
  In the end, I'm pleased to have reclaimed my apartment (and shelf space). No more stacks of CD's cluttering up the place. C'mon over and see the difference!
  
  
• Iraq and BACK
  By ADN14ZFL7OPEQ on 2007-08-18
  Ok i needed something super durable to hold all my movies. I bought this cd case before deploying for the main reason that it didnt have the stupid three ring binder type crap on the inside. This thing has been squished and dropped and almost everything in between. The dvd's stayed in place never had one fall out. And the pages are still in awsome shape even after the hords when looking through my movies to borrow. I would recommend this case to anyone thats as tough on stuff as i am.
  
  Pro's: NOT three ring binder, holds alot of movies or cd's, comes with a travel cd wallet, holds dvds and cds tight.
  
  Con's: Are you still reading this its the best buy you'll ever make.
  
  
  
  If you are tired of the three ring binder type tearing pages or cds falling out when you travel. Or when the stupid little metal binder parts get a little tweaked and the pages start coming out or the pages snag on the three ring binder part when you are turning pages then look no more BUY THIS. Mine still looks awsome performs great, never an issue and lasted through a 15 month deployment to IRAQ what more do you need.
  
  
• excellent storage for the serious film or music collector
  By A187H9L1FMT314 on 2007-11-30
  I've been using Case Logic "wallets" to store my films for several years now and am very pleased. While it is true that the system that holds the pages can be a pain when you need to re-arrange your CDs or DVDs, it is in every other way a huge improvement over the typical 3-ring binder. These pages WILL stay in place and never tear, come hell or high water.
  
  I have five 336-disc cases and three of the 216-disc cases (and three 3-ring binders which I am replacing- I really dislike them). It's a tough call deciding which size wallet to choose, assuming you need the storage; it's difficult to turn down the extra space as they sell for about the same price. This is a significant cost difference, as two of the larger cases hold more discs total than three of the smaller ones. But the larger one is a bit cumbersome and awkward and it can be difficult to get started opening the zipper. The 216-disc case is clearly easier to open, close, carry, and work with.
  
  But both are excellent products. They show no wear and tear after years, and there is no other system that can safely pack more films into so little space. If my cases were full, I would have over 2300 DVDs on 40 inches of shelf space- that's more than 50 DVDs per inch!! [NOTE: These numbers assume that you are not using up space in the case for cover art or any of the material that accompanies store-bought music or films.]
  
  
• This is a nice case.
  By AY3DGDXUO5N00 on 2008-07-26
  I'll just jump right into it.
  
  Pros
  
  1) Large amount of CD pockets.
  
  2) Hard case shell with nylon that is actually stong.
  
  3) Removable pages for easy organization and for adding more pages(You can buy more pages at Case Logic's site).
  
  4) According to the Case Logic this case is resistant to heat, moisture and tearing.
  
  5) 25 Years warranty.
  
  6) Nice quality, no corners cut in manufacturing.
  
  Cons
  
  1) The 16 sleeves that are on the inside of the hard shell case that you see in the picture are referred to as the "Now Playing". This is for your most played CDs that you don't put in the pockets of the pages so you can quickly access them. The problem is the sleeves are not tight enough and allow CDs to fall out and the only use I find for them is to hold the CD booklets. So 16 from 336 equal 320, that means you will have 320 places to put your CD's and 16 for you booklets.
  
  2) The zipper is hard to pull but I assume cause it is new and needs to be used more to wear it in.
  
  That is about it on the cons.
  
  I liked the case so well that I bought another one to hold my PC games. So this is a very nice case and well worth the money.
  
  
• Great place to store your CDs
  By A1S42CJ7RLWX1L on 2005-09-23
  I like how the quickfile compartement can be removed so I don't have to haul around all of my 320 cds. The only disadvantage is that if you do not have your pages securely buttoned, the pages fall out and its a pain when you're dealing with 320 cds. However, thats doesn't happen very often.
  
  
• Perfect for all our DVD's
  By A1UXUPVAIYI2C on 2007-01-20
  Ok I do hate that we have to take all the pages out to put in a new page, but this is perfect for all our DVD's. We looked and looked and this was the best one out there. Over the last year my 4 kids have not even torn a page!! In fact it still looks brand new. Stop looking and just get this one!! I am back to buy a second!!!
  
  
• Very good product!
  By A1QBWDT0ZIZJV3 on 2007-04-03
  I'm very happy with this cd case. A few small issues - it is very hard to open and close with one hand. Not the case to keep in your car, unless you want to pull over every now and then to change disks. Also, it's a bit of a pain to add or remove pages, as you have to remove all pages from the top, not the center like a 3 ring binder does. The positives - It's extremely durrable. I was skeptical at first, being the binders are plastic, but it really does lock well. The case exterior is made up of a very strong nylon, and the zipper is no cheap piece of junk that will unravel after a few uses. The cds and inserts all fit snug, so there's no fear of your disks all dumping out if it would happen to slip off the seat or table. It also has a nice elastic pocket-organizer inside the front cover, for some of the booklets that are abnormally large. Overall, another great product from Case Logic that I would definately buy again.
  
  
• A lot of storage in a little space
  By ABBVTPGJZUUDD on 2007-04-12
  I've only had this product a short while, but so far have been very pleased. We took about 800 CDs down off the shelves, because our 1 year old daughter was constantly pulling them down and throwing them around. We got rid of all the jewel cases and put all the CDs in these "wallets". So far, we're very glad we did. They hold a lot of CDs, and seem sturdy and compact. A great buy.
  
  
• Too big... but good
  By A3MGLPKDW8Y31P on 2007-08-13
  I was so happy to get rid of all my stupid plastic "jewel" cases and regain some space, that I don't really mind any downside to this case, which is this: it's too big. I should have gotten two or three of a smaller size. When you're turning pages, or trying to open/close the thing, it's kind of unwieldy. That said, I've been listening to stuff I haven't heard for years, because even with the floppy drawback, the disks are a lot more accessible than they've been for years.
  
  
• Any idea on how to order more inserts?
  By A12RKKQW1W6ZQV on 2007-10-01
  I have 4 of these and have to get some more. Not like I have a bajillion CD's, but I put the jacket in front and the CD in back, only getting half of the advertised space. I would not recommend putting the CD just behind the jacket in the same pocket, filling 8 CD's per sheet as it's very tight and CD's show visible signs of wear much faster.
  
  Case Logic folders have always been good quality and I'm a happy repeat customer (upgraded from non-insert CD folders last year).
  
  -1 star because of the quirky removable system. As another reviewer poignantly mentioned, they should have stuck with a 3-ring binder system vice front-loading only. Everyone would find it more convenient to be able to add an insert wherever they need to because even if you don't organize alphabetically, you probably still want to keep CD's from the same band together.
  
  -1 star because of inability to purchase more inserts without having to buy an entire folder. If I'm wrong on this and you can purchase additional inserts without having to buy an entire folder to do it, please drop me a comment and share with everybody.
  
  Thanks for reading!
  
  
• A good product and price
  By A10XQGAF7AU3XP on 2007-12-11
  The concerns of other reviewers about having to remove all of the pages from one side to add or change order are valid although the design allows pages to be flipped very smoothly. I've filled four of these wallets and will be ordering a couple more. Each page can hold eight CDs and insert booklets although the pockets are a bit tight. (Forty pages are included with each wallet.) The rest of the 336 count fits inside the front cover. The nylon cover is well-made and the zipper works smoothly. Amazon's price beat any I could find locally.
  
  
• Great organizer
  By A1ULM75NQH2C7M on 2006-07-27
  Finally. Pitch the cases. It's actually liberating. Quit reading stupid reviews from people who could be complete idiots. Go with it. Especially these days, with most of your stuff turning to MP3 anyhow. I'm stuck with a 60 CD changer, but love the rapid access that these binders are.
  
  
• DvD case
  By ATSPFMOH4Q0I4 on 2006-11-05
  a great value for the price. the only bad thing is the cheap zipper on the thing. you cant just grap the zipper and pull. you have to graab the zipper and then with your other hand push in the opposite direction for it to zip up. other than that its great
  
  
• Great Case!!
  By A2ZI49BM5SJXX2 on 2006-11-06
  Definitely recommend this case. It's definitely good for me since I have tons of DVD's to fill it up. A little heavy when full, but hey, that's a lot of DVD's in there. Good buy if you need a big case.
  
  
• Great Item
  By AO779AI32VYSZ on 2006-11-10
  This is the perfect case if you need to hold a lot of dvd's or cd's. It is very sturdy and holds a ton.
  
  
• great product
  By AGDTQ7S2QHBAC on 2007-01-09
  This product is great but what's up with the price increase. I went to buy more and they are $8.00 more than when I purchased last time. Easy to flip through, easy to store under the TV
