the Nagaoka ones are 'record shaped' at the bottom, rather than square, then I used to find them harder to insert into the outer sleeve.

I hate the Nagaoka ones for this reason and now, happily, use Goldring sleeves.

Hate is a strong word.

Don't go there, it's not worth it...

Nagaoka's for me, the shape's never bothered me.

Me neither, I quite like a well-rounded bottom (it's a personal thing!) Smile

I find they are less likely to fold over and crease like square ones can on re-insertion.

I tend to keep them in the cardboard inner sleeve, if there is one, and the shape means they partially rotate within it.

They can do, if the original inner sleeve is creased especially but I've always found completely square ones fold at the corners anyway if you try to put them back into an original sleeve, so I think it's as broad as it's long.

The Goldring ones aren't completely square; the corners are cut away, so there's no folding of the corners.  Also at the opening, one side is proud of the other which makes it very easy to pull them apart and insert the disk

RE: Recommendations for inner sleeves

Collected my Goldrings from the Post Office today.

Easy to insert LP, easy to slide back into cover with no bunching, no overhang out of the cover as reported on another forum, so pretty much good all round.
