KTRIO 100 Pcs Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves - Clear Vinyl Outer Sleeves for Records - 12.75" X 12.75" LP Outer Sleeves for 12" Single, Double and Most Gatefold 12 Inch Lps - 3mil. Thick

I've been through hundreds of plastic sleeves protecting my collection, (approx 2500) and these are thinner and stiffer than any other sleeves I've bought or have been given through the years. They make a crinkling sound when you bend them, and I've never heard a sleeve do that before. All the previous ones have been a lot softer and more pliable than these.They do fit double LP's well though. A lot of others I've bought fit too tight on many double LP's. I really like that these slip on easily. and have plenty of room around the sides.I'm just not sure about the material these are made from. Don't have a single sleeve like them. Only time will tell how well they hold up. I would have rated these 3 stars if they were priced as much as the better quality sleeves are, but considering you get 100 for less than 20 cents each, it really is a decent deal, so long as they don't yellow or get brittle or start splitting. As I said, only time will tell with this plastic, other wise, I like the fit.

I've recently started to downsize my 20,000 album record collection. I've rented some space at a local antique mall and have started selling my records there. I needed a clear sleeve that was not too expensive that would display my records nicely. These sleeves are crystal clear and are a bit on the big side so that double albums can fit easily into them. Perfect for putting an identification price sticker on and I also put a seal at the open end. (buyers can bring them to the front desk to be opened and inspected).I prefer a thicker, less clear sleeve for my personal collection, but these are perfect for the ones I'm selling!

The @KTRIO Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves are a good option for protecting your vinyl collection from dust and scratches. The sleeves are made of a PVC material that is transparent and somewhat durable. They are not the soft plastic that most audiophile LP's come packaged in, these are a stiffer plastic. They fit most standard 12-inch single records. Some double and almost all triple LP sets are a tight fit. The sleeves are easy to use and store and offer good protection for the outer sleeves. They are also affordable and come in a pack of 100 pieces, which is enough for a good-sized collection. If you are looking for a simple and effective way to preserve your vinyl records, you might want to consider KTRIO 100 Pcs Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves - Clear Vinyl Outer Sleeves for Records.

As others have said, these covers seem thinner and noisier than I expected. Other than that, they’re clear, shiny and fit my most treasured albums (see photo).Now, I can relax while listening to my music, knowing that my album covers are kept dust-free. The price is good for what you get. If they weren’t so noisy, I’d have given them 5 stars.

On price I’d give these 5-stars, but the plastic is quite thin. The product description says these are 3 mil thick but I’d say these are closer to 2 mil or maybe even less. At $19 for 100 (plus a $3 coupon at the time of this review) they’re worth having for those cheap albums I pull out of the dollar bins.These would be good for record dealers because long term storage isn’t an issue - they’ll give decent protection while they’re in display racks and at a budget price. I’m not a dealer so I’ll definitely use these on my cheaper albums or those old damaged jackets that aren’t worth much. For long term storage on my more valuable vinyl I’ll use a truly 3 mil sleeve.

So I've been buying vinyl/plastic outer sleeves for my LPs since I started collecting in the late '70s. Having just come into a treasure trove of double LP gatefold bootlegs, it was time to buy yet another hundred of them. These fit the rather thick double gatefold LPs snugly but with still a little breathing room. Single LPs fit nicely with plenty of room to spare. My main concern with these is the plastic is, for lack of a better term, more "harder" than what I"m used to. Regular vinyl outer sleeves are very soft and pliant; these are more rigid and bordering on brittle feeling. I'm not sure if they'll last as long with repeated use or with decades of aging. But so far, so good...

It's been a while since I needed to buy protective outer sleeves for my vinyl. In the past I have always purchased from a New York retailer that's been around since 1976 and specializes in collection protection supplies, but I decided to see what else was available because LP sleeves are quite pricy these days.These KTRIO vinyl protection sleeves do the job they are required to do, but they do not feel nearly as thick or nice as my other vinyl protection sleeves. This might be because they are made of a different material. My older sleeves are made from polypropylene, and these from KTRIO are made from O-phenylphenol. Those words mean nothing to me, but I can certainly feel the difference in them. The KTRIO sleeves do not feel as thick or as well made. They feel flimsy and make a crinkling noise. They remind me a lot of the treat/gift bags you see around the holidays.The thing I dislike most about these sleeves is they have sharp seams along the sides and bottom. I suspect that if you repeatedly pull an album on and off your shelf to play it, the sleeve is either going to scratch your shelving or the seams are going to split.For these reasons, I can't fully recommend these sleeves. If you are planning to store your vinyl (rather than play it), or if you only play an album occasionally, these sleeves might be fine to protect the album jackets, but they are not archival material and shouldn't be used as such. You really do get what you pay for.
