No problem, and since I am in Canada, you will get in in cm's. Great thing about that is it makes it sound bigger

The funny thing about bigjee's photos is everyone's looking for differences between the two sleeves, while noone noticed that he has TWO Rambos

By the way, the size of the zip-loc bags is 18cm x 22cm and I believe they are actually small zip-loc freezer bags and not sandwhich bags

Oh CrashKelly you are the worst of the lot ...

Thanks everyone.
I wonder what the steelbook would be worth if S.Stallone actually signed this one.

Back on topic I think the BGU ones are just better for your steelbook even though the shop4tech ones look better in those pictures.

I've taped both the sleeves but in reality the Bags unlimited ones don't need to be taped since you can use the resealable adhesive to seal the steelbook.
The fit is also better in imo for the BGU sleeves.
The finishing in the BGunlimited ones isn't as nice but they are more durable and less prone to ripping.
The one on the right looks nicer and a lot cheaper.
Is the left one really worth it?

If you have lots of steelbooks then buy a pack of both and keep the valuable ones in the BGU sleeves and the not so valuable steelbooks in the shop4tech ones.

If you aren't so picky about your steelbooks then just go with the shop4tech ones.

I use these from Effectuality, there is a US store as well, and they are great. Crystal clear and a little larger so they even fit steelbooks with full slip covers such as Sleeping Beauty.

They provide excellent protection and I am not really worried about breakage as I do not take it out, er...... I mean them, to play with too often

Cheers

Thanks.
Looks like I'll be trying out the effectuality ones once these ones run out.

Its good to keep experimenting till you find one that works the best for you

How thick are they? Are they thin like regular shrinkwrap or are they thicker so they don't crease/tear?

I would say they are thin like regular shrink wrap. I hade a few tear during insertion, but that was only due to the sheer size of it.

It is probably important to point out that once it is in, it is in, I am not one of the ones who takes it in and out, in and out, in and out, ....... if you know what I mean so it is possible that after repeated use it might just get worn out and not be any good anymore
