| The old thread is locked, but I wanted to let you know that the people from Comic Skin contacted me about the new clips. They are now made from a rubberized plastic and aren't brittle anymore. I received a sample, and they are so much better. | ||

| Nice. Hey, did anyone ever get around to PH testing their plastic? | ||

| This product has so much promise, but I feel they are still way over priced at $15 a piece. Especially when I can get a book CBCS graded starting at $16. | ||

| Not quite the same product, but I used to love the old Mill Cases. Unfortunately, the Container Store near me stopped selling the 5 packs ($20), so the only option became to buy them from the official site 50 at a time. The other minor issue was that the book cover would often static cling to thefront so you had to be careful when opening it. | ||

| @DarthLego I've never tried it with a mylar but if you're like me and you use Standard-sized sleeves instead of Current-sized sleeves for modern books then they probably won't fit. A current sleeve MIGHT fit into the modern-sized Mill case. I haven't tried any of ther other Mill Case sizes. I stopped buying them once the store stopped carrying them since $300 is a bit too much for me to drop on cases at one time I'm at work so i don't have access to my books but I do have this one on my phone  |

| @dielinfinite how well do they stay closed? Any danger of them coming open when you don't want them to? | ||

| @DarthLego That was never really an issue but I've never tossed them around to test them. If anything, the hinges, like cd cases they're based on, are the major weak point and can crack or break off if they take a sufficient blow. This has never impacted the book inside since the book is held in a well-shapes recess and should the hinges break, they'll do so outside of the well. |
