Dex Protection Card Binder 12 | Stores 480 Gaming Cards | Includes 20 Side Loading Card Pages | 12 Card Page Format | Strap Closure | Smooth Matte Padded Finish | Velvet Lined Interior (Pink)

It arrived super fast and packed in a box, so it got here in perfect condition :) the clear slots are very clear and don't dim the colors or brightness much if at all, most in perfect condition (there were about 3-5 slots out of the 480 that had some blurry sprinkling of tiny spots across a portion of them; with a card in the slot you can't even see them, it was only when empty and the light hitting it just right that they were visible; not sure what they are, a splatter of a liquid at some point in its manufacture since they wouldn't wipe off or be cleaned off). I had a bunch of cards to fill it already, and now it is completely full and I know I want more binders to fill with more cards and sort them better. Since this first binder I filled with my valuable cards, all the cards I put in are double sleeved in perfect fit inner sleeves and dragon shield art outer sleeves (mostly Qoll and Vader)....a few outer sleeved in Cardboard Gold standard card soft sleeves that fit 3x4 top loaders (and BCW 2 5/8 x 3 5/8 card sleeves 2 mil standard sleeves would also work as outer sleeves that would fit inside these slots). With the binder completely filled with 480 double sleeved cards (20 pages of 12 slots on front and 12 slots on back) the binder outer pink covers are in a bit of a "V" shape from the spine due to it being super full, so the stretchy band is really useful for helping to hold it together in bags and making it much easier to grab one handed and move around. If you only put in half or less cards (of 480, so 240 or less) that are double sleeved then the binder probably wouldn't be over full looking. So far the slots are tight and hold the double sleeved cards in place even when flipping the full pages quickly. I love the pink color so much that I may get all the others I plan to get in same color :) since I could always decorate spines to tell them apart fast. I did try to put most expensive and fave cards in slots facing spine so if they ever did fall out it would be to stay in rather than falling outward. Though I plan to only carry it inside a tote bag or bookbag/messenger bag with complete zipper seals whenever carried out of home, so I have no fear of losing any cards if any manage to slip out. So this is a very nice deal compared to all the other 4 slots a row (12 slots on front and 12 slots on back) binders, even better deal compared to the same 480 in a zippered binder. If you don't have any cards worth more than $15, then this most likely wouldn't be worth it to you just for 20 binder pages to display cards nicer than just a box since you can get 100 pages in a box from ultra pro (9 slots per page, 900 slots total) for about 16 bucks and a 3 ring d-ring binder for about 3-6 bucks, so you can separate cards in slot pages cheaper than even this super cheap binder, but it won't look as good as this does, it will be more dangerous than this since in a ring binder you run risk of pages slipping and the rings pushing dents into your cards which is major damage to their value (and it can happen easier if ring binder stored upright). Those in the market for a safe worry free slot page binder and want one you can store individual cards in a slot on front and back pages, plus can put whole playsets of 4 cards each per row on pages, then this is exactly the kind of binder you should get...especially if you have cards worth more than this binder since this is one of the safest ways to store your cards outside of a vault safe/safety deposit box (which I'm not lucky enough to have any worth that trouble). It would be easier to get binders of each color for color sorted organization, or just a few different colors for different use binders like pink for valuables, another color for trades/investments, another for worthless faves, another for commanders or different formats of play etc.

Hello there new/experienced Magic players! I am writing this review because I feel some insight might be helpful before purchasing a product you’ve never owned.First off, when I bought the Dex 12 pocket, I was new to Magic, but had enough common sense to put my good cards in sleeves. The next step was to find a good binder. However, I had no idea what was considered a “good brand.” YouTubers, store owners, and close friends all agreed that this brand of binder was good and durable, which it is, mostly. There are just a couple things you need to be aware of before you finally hit or ignore that buy button.[1] THIS BINDER IS CHONK. Please read the dimensions in the description. It says 15.5 x 14 x 1.3, so this thing won’t fit in your backpack unless you have a laptop pocket big enough to hold a 16 inch laptop. I had to buy a new backpack because my other cards were getting damaged from not having enough room.[2] It is sturdy AF. The pseudo-leathery outside will protect your cards from falls or getting crushed under the weight of heavy items. It’s also lined with some nice soft velvet, so cards are extra protected. Personally, I would purchase the zip-model of this binder because the strap on the front can wear out quickly.[3] IT IS SIDELOADED. The binder has spaces for your cards via interchanging side-loaded pockets attached to the pages. These are really nice, but LOOSE. You need to put at least two cards PER SLOT if you want to minimize shifting.[4] DIRT MAGNET. Style comes at a cost ladies and gentlemen. This thing collects dirt in the pages faster than my student loans collect debt, so PLEASE wash your hands before handling binder contents.I hope this review was helpful. I still enjoy my binder, but if this doesn’t seem right for you, shop around some more. :)

Love the yellow color and feel of this binder! The red velvet with gold inlaid logo on the inside of the front (and back but not logo in the back) makes it feel like a luxury item. I also liked how there was a thin plastic page between the cover/back and the first/last page that holds cards. The binder is very sturdy and the pages hold cards very securely. The only problem is that the binder I got was listed as new but when I counted the number of pages I realized there were 4 pages missing. Someone had opened it previously and cut some of the pages out with a razor! So be sure to always look through the whole binder before committing to keeping it.

This is the best card binder period. If you dont agree you are wrong. Playsets are 4 cards. So the rows should be 4 slots per row. These are for gaming cards not sports ball junk. Stop supporting incorrectly sized binders. Tell ultra pro to kick rocks and buy the best. I dont know, some professor probably said words about this binder. Words, words, words. The end.

Holds way more than you realize. I put all of my rares sorted by color and set and still have space to add more. Would highly recommend. If you want a even safer protection I would look for a zipper folder but this absolutely gets the job done.

I bought this as a. Heist as gift to myself (the only way I could justify spending $30+ on a binder). However, am very happy with my purchase. This binder is sturdy and looks great. The pockets are great for double sleeved cards, and the cards do not slide around. I have been checking for bending, but there isn’t any (for once!) I have already purchased another Dex binder and will continue to use this excellent product.

This binder is great, except the binder I received appears to be a repackaged return. The black front page has glitter on it, both front and back black front piece are slightly off centered and overlap the binder edge, the binding on tip is caved in, and two pages have nicks on one of the sleeves. I bought this binder from MTG Deals, shipped by Amazon. The binder itself is great, and I paid $25, which is $5 below retail, so I am keeping it. But if I had known that I was receiving a return or factory reject I might have paid full price and purchased from another reseller.
