They serve their purpose. Protection. My only problem with the top loader is that they tend to stick to each other when you're trying to browse real quick. Then you fight them until you have to put the stacks down and separate them. Other than that, they are a bit flexible due to being thin or not dense enough. But I think they sell a thicker toploader that is more dense and not as flexible if you want to upgrade. But for the price you pay for a case, it's a good deal. I have no complaints.
