Atlantic 96635496 Parade Stores 96 Disc-Black

Atlantic 96635496 Parade Stores 96 Disc-BlackI've never liked CD wallets or binders being a collector of DVD's, but liked the style of Atlantic's 96 disc holder and decided to give it a try due to space issues in my apartment. Its a good organizer, but I don't suggest using all 96 pockets or filling it to capacity, because the result will be scrtached discs. The problem is that the pages in the binders have pockets that hold 1 disc one each side (2 per page/ 1 per side). Because of this, storing 2 discs per page will create alot of friction and a very tight fit, which means that the discs will get very easily scratched from taking them in and out of the pockets. I could not believe the amount of scratches it left on alot of my discs simply from just trying to carefully remove them from the pages even after first time use. If you love your collection and hate hair like scratches on your discs, the only option with this product is to only store one disc per page leaving the other side empty because it will leave alot of room for the disc to slide in and out without causing friction on the data side. So basically you get four small binders that hold 24 discs each, but can only SAFELY store 12 per book which is a real shame cause it means you only really have room for 48 in total. I love my DVD's and had to store them this way to keep my other discs in mint condition. But if you don't really care about how your DVD's look and dont mind a zillion scratches on your discs from constant use, use all 96 pcokets since its a great storage product. So far my method and solution for this product has worked. I havent gotten any scratches on my discs since.

I originally found this type of storage method at Staples. It was the black binding version. The first one we bought was great. We liked it so much we went back to Staples for two more. Unfortunately all their remaining units were severally cracked and broken from what looks like a heavy impact on the boxes. When we asked the store manager about it they said they were not ordering any more and offered us the remaining units for half off. We declined as this was a poor reflection on Staples and not the product itself.

When we found these on Amazon for even less money than Staples charged it was better than hoped. We now have 3 of the black binding units and 2 of the white binding. We are very pleased as these helped us clear up a lot of clutter produced by music and PC gaming CD's (we use another method for our DVD's).

Kudos's to Atlantic for coming up with this storage system. Each folder (4 per unit) has a spot to write a Genre or Label for the contents of the CD's inside. Making them color codes helps even more. Currently I do not use them interlinked but it is great that they have that ability. I highly recommend these to all my friends and family.

Purchased four of these to replace several CD-binders that were getting old and falling apart. While these storage devices are not as convenient to use as binders because they're not as portable and can't hold as many discs, they are also a lot more cool to look at than a dumpy leather binder. A box holds 96 discs and is divided into 4 mini binders that are made from plastic. The covers of these mini binders are rather thin but even after filling them all with discs and loading them into the box, I didn't feel like my discs were in danger of being damaged.

The boxes are stackable and I have a column of 4 stacked up under my desk for easy access. My only real complaint is that if you get a lot of these, it's hard to keep track which discs are in which mini binder. Some sort of labeling mechanism would've been helpful because sometimes I find myself searching through several binders before finding what I'm looking for.

Love this! I hate when the kids leave their games discs all over the place. They never make it back in their cases. So I got rid of the cases and each child has their own color disc case. I left the tabs the colors they came with but they do come out and you can write on them. They are stackable too.

Pros: This DVD storage solution has given me my shelf space back. I had 2 whole cabinets filled with 150+ DVDs. I was able to sort them into categories, ie. Action, Drama, Romance, Comedy. Overall, GREAT solution for the price!

Cons: 1 in particular. ATLANTIC changed the style of the product but kept the same product number. I ended up with one case as pictured, and another with different color, oval shaped labels and grey seals instead of white. Docked 1 star for stupidity. Another thought, if you use this case, plan on chucking your DVD's/CD's cover art. There is ONLY room for DVDs/CDs unless you sacrifice storage space.

Other thoughts: *AMAZON needs to change the picture to reflect the current look of this product. For those of you who order this now 11/06/2011, the difference will not be such a huge deal. And if you order multiple cases, they should look the same. *Construction is adequate. *I feel like (aside from style difference) I got a good deal and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an inexpensive DVD space saving solution.

***1/20/2012 I see that Amazon has updated the picture now.
