Review on πŸ“ Organize and Protect Your Media - TekNmotion CD/DVD Carry Case with 120 Capacity (Black) by Sheryl Reilly

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good product for the price but there are better ones for a few bucks more

Most of my CD cases are CaseLogic. This brand's products are good value for money and are built to last - I have several cases of them that are around ten years old. I have a lot of CDs at work that take up too much space in my office, so I looked around for a CaseLogic case. I haven't bought cases for several years but it seems that the prices have gone up. I didn't feel like spending $20 on a case when I saw this one for less than half the price. Pros: The zippers seem to be quite durable. I bought a 120 disc binder and it will hold almost the CDs and paper from the CD cases. The zippers show no signs of breakage. There is a mesh pocket inside, but only on one side. The inner pocket is useful for storing papers or CD labels. On the outside there is also a small zipped pocket on one side. Cons: Not much reinforcement on the spine. I haven't installed 120 discs yet, but I don't know how it will hold up. The handle is riveted, but there's not much structural reinforcement other than a lightweight sheet of plastic that forms the lid. An internal mesh pocket is useful, but I found it odd that there wasn't one on either side. The small outside zippered pocket is far less useful due to the shape. In the picture, judging by the size of the zipper, the bag occupies the entire outer flap. Instead, the pocket is just the middle part - the part where the design of the corners will be sewn. This space isn't even wide enough to put a CD in. Why a full zip at all when nothing quite as long as a zip will ever fit in a bag? Lightning. The materials to which the zipper is attached have gaps at the top and bottom. The bottom zipper ends with a "tail" that can be tucked in the back but doesn't close the gap. I also wonder what the point of having a lightning "tail" is when there's going to be a gap anyway. Conclusion: Does what it should and is even better than expected for the price. I didn't expect the product to be of high quality, but there are definitely some flaws that will make me shell out a few bucks more for a better designed case. I no longer buy it for personal use. I overlook these downsides as the price is right for something I leave in my office and will probably never use outside of my office.
