jamdbz Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 For albums that have full printed inner sleeve, is it possible to use rounded bottom sleeves and still fit them inside the printed sleeve? something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Diskeeper-Round-Bottom-Record-Sleeves/dp/B00B1WQV6S/ref=pd_sim_e_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0JDAY4KMWT0HVHKEJB8S I'm not sure if it'd work or be good for the packaging though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I received my order for MoFi inner sleeves and 5.0 outer sleeves from Sleeve City yesterday and I could not be more happy. I've started using this combination on all of my records and have not had any problems. I'm surprised how flexible the 5.0 outer sleeves are. They comfortably house 2xLP gatefold jackets and still fit just as snug on single LP jackets. Very solid products that I will continue to use for the forseeable future. batnoises 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I'm thinking about getting the Sleeve City 2.5 Outer Sleeves because it's 20% off right now. For the people that have them, do they have a seam that makes it hard to read the spine on single LPs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arem Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The 2.5 are easier to read than the 5 mil. I use both of them interchangeably depending on what I have around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Logan Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Definitely going to pick up some sleeves after Christmas now. I've been slacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have Amazon Prime you can get a 50 pack of the 2.5mil for about $17 with free 2 day shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I actually saw that literally 5 minutes after I posted that. Decided to try the BCW sleeves on Amazon (people on another message board were recommending them). I figured $13 for a pack of 100, I'll take a chance and if I'm wrong I'm only out $13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroFourNine Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I use the 2.5 mil SleeveCity outers with the Ultimate Audiophile inner sleeves. I purchase them from Amazon in packs of 50 at a time. Good to see so many recommend them here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpitts Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Keep me posted! $13 is a lot of money to me, so I live through the recommendation of others SleeveCity will send you free samples. I checked out their 2.5 and 5.0 sleeves before I bought them and found that the 2.5's were exactly what I was looking for. Go to their website and request a few samples to help make your decision.

YouTwo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Keep me posted! $13 is a lot of money to me, so I live through the recommendation of others The $13 ones turned out ok. They were crystal clear. My only issue was that each one seemed to be cut slightly different so gatefolds wouldn't fit in all of them. It was a bit of trial and error. I would sleeve all of the gatefolds first and all of the remaining ones would work on singles. They need to be top loaded because they are slippery and if you put them back on the shelf they slide out if they're loaded from the side.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'm good on outer sleeves, but was thinking about getting some inner sleeves. I bought some LPs from a VC user who uses those mobile fidelity ones which are pretty nice.. no static either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just a normal guy kevin Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Not to sway you from the wonders of MoFi but SleeveCity makes two versions of inner sleeves that I prefer! The Ultimate Audiophile inner sleeves are heavy duty and feature double-sided paper lined by that smooth rice paper-ish surface with viewing area in the center so you can read the labels. Pricey but awesome. Check em out. Then their Audiophile inner sleeves are almost exactly like the MoFi sleeves- except 1) the paper backing is thicker, so the sleeve doesn't crumple/fold while you're trying to slip in the LP and there isn't that white powder-ish residue that MoFi sleeves have sometimes. I think these are cheaper than the MoFi's too. They are actually $3 more than MoFi's per 50 pack. Check em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks bake! I think I'm going to try out these now because of the thicker backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdz68 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 What do you guys use for your 10" inner sleeves? Starting to have quite a few 10" sets and have yet to listen to them until I clean them. I don't want to put them back into the paper sleeves if I can find something similar to mofi .... Plus I have to order the damn vpi 78 kit so would love to hear what folks are using. My previous 10" records were in mofi 12" sleeves and it looks messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
