Diskeeper Anti-Static Inner Sleeves – Premium HDPE Record Sleeves for 12" Vinyl LPs (50 Pack)

Although I've only been into the record thing for about 5 years now, given that I source most of my records from thrift stores, I often come across records that at some point in the past have lost their sleeves or have sleeves so damaged as to not be usable. Early on after doing some research, I came across the Diskeeper 2.0 Anti-static sleeves. I chose them based on good reviews and because I was looking for an anti-static solution that wouldn't break the bank. I threw them on my Amazon wishlist and got them as a Christmas present. I was not disappointed in the quality of them and when I needed more, these were the ones I spent my own money. These sleeves are really nice. Made of a good durable anti-static plastic, they resist a static charge building up on the record put in them and hold up really well to repeated use. I don't believe scratching is an issue with these, at least not that I've ever noticed. The plastic is really smooth and silky, not a surface that will be likely to scratch a record. They are on the thin side, but not so much that I've ever really had trouble getting them back into a record jacket. It can be a little bit of work to get them open to put the records into due to the cut of the opening. Sure you can get more substantial sleeves than these, but these are well made and they're not that expensive. I really think these are a great value buy and I'm likely to keep buying them myself for the foreseeable future.

Good quality album sleeves protect your vinly LP’s and are anti static.

Review Added To, July 7, 2017 (see last paragraph) These lower-priced sleeves provide what appears to be superior protection on par with other inner sleeves that have long been renowned for the protection they provide (MoFi). I have had some of those on some albums for decades now and their reputation is well deserved. These I have only been using for a relatively short time but am impressed so far. Seems to prevent static build-up admirably and none of them have yet to become brittle or clingy. These seem to be made of the same or similar plastic as the high quality pricier sleeves but without the stiffening paper insert. All though the material is thin it is sturdy enough for normal handling and some reviewers comment that they will fit inside some printed inner sleeves (I always slide the new sleeve and the original sleeve into the outer jacket separately). Not always easy to insert in all album jackets (sometimes they'll wad up, especially in those thin Euro outer covers, only minutely sticks out of one jacket out of the nearly 250 I have used and that one's original paper sleeve stuck out even more), but are always easy to remove as is the actual disc from the inner sleeve. I am pretty confident that they help prevent scratches from sneaky grit (or maybe that is my own level of fastidious record handling). For my budget the price is low enough that even .25 cent thrift store albums get one of these upon cleaning even if the original sleeve is present and in good condition; the other pricier sleeves do not go near albums of dubious pedigree. Can't say much more really, save that I will always replenish these when my supply gets low and won't bother testing out other low priced alternatives unless long term storage reveals problems associated with ageing. Now it is time to abandon the electronic device that allows access to Amazon and bust out some vinyl and fire up the turntable in order to feed the soul. -- enjoy your music whenever you can There has been quite a few Amazon reviews questioning the efficacy of this product's anti-static qualities. No anti-static sleeves I am aware of remove static, what they do is retard the new build-up of static after you discharge the stored static electricity on the vinyl disc by providing a path to ground (the various methods of which is a lengthy subject for another time). I have had no incidents of static affecting these sleeves. If that is truly happening there may be issues of quality control with the formulation of the material the sleeves are made from. I would postulate that the perception that the sleeves come charged with static is in error. My guess is that the sleeves being flexible and closed on 3 sides when flattened together under pressure as in shipping/storage have had a vacuum created between the layers, this is why they cling together. This can occur in any stack of flat impermeable sheets especially if they are flexible. Couple this with the material being plastic and likely subjected to high temperatures during shipping and/or storage (plastic flows more when warm) and you have perfect conditions for the formation of a vacuum between and within the sleeves. The only thing that makes me doubt my theory is the reviewer that states he/she used a Milty Zerostat to remove the static and then they did not stick anymore. I would like more evidence and if the person involved separated the sleeves by hand first which would have removed my theorized vacuum. Just saying, again, I have had no static problems using these.

These are thick plastic and feel high-quality. I have no doubt that they will do a good job protecting my collection of classic records. My one complaint is that they are sometimes absurdly difficult to use for the first time. Think the pain of opening those plastic bags they have in the produce section of the grocery store. They do their best to stay closed. Once you get it open a little, you can slide the record in easily enough, but it's sometimes a struggle, especially if you're trying to juggle another record in your other hand.

Prodotto buono piu economico rispetto ad alltri marchi, fanno comunque il loro con un rapporto qualita prezzo non male.

great item - stronger than standard sleeves - offer great protection and no static so far!

Rayan los discos, dejan micro rayas que son visibles bajo buena luz, por lo visto en varios foros americanos comentan lo mismo. Hice la prueba con uno disco nuevo y apenas introduje medio disco muy delicadamente y aún así al comprobar debajo de una luz se podría ver que ya habían rayas. Fatal.

Great product - very useful in protecting vinyl records. Glad I found them

Sturdy and protect albums well. What i like most over other sleeves is that with a album inside, IT SLIDES INTO THE ALBUM COVER EASILY, without crumple or struggle, unlike many that i have used. Obviously cut to thr perfect size. I can't finf fault here and will use always from now on.
