I love them. No complaints. They do get light scratching on the back of the sleeves but nothing too noticeable. Will be resleeving my cube before the year is over. I enjoy them better then Hyper Mattes and Dragon Shields.
Has anyone tried the Dragon Shield Mattes? Their PR person claims the size disparity has been fixed but I'd rather hear from customers before buying a couple.
I've had horrid luck with sleeves, even KMC Hypers have given me a sleeve-height rollercoaster.
I'm starting to lose faith in a cube sleeved with perfectly same-sized sleeves.

I've only bought one pack of DS Mattes for an EDH Deck, but they're all uniform. That's weird you're having so many problems, though. I've bought KMC Mattes and after those, hyper mattes for years now and have never had any length issues.

Use Hareruya! They are made by KMC and are all the same size with great quality!

Oh, packs from a single pack are perfectly fine, but both with KMC and DS, sleeves from one pack were noticeably different in size to sleeves from another to the point where if you drafted a couple cards with shorter sleeves you would cut to those cards every time.

I'm a fan of the Dragon Shield Mattes. I saw one guy to have the length problem, but he just returned them to the store and got new ones, without these issues. We have many players here, who only use Dragon Shields and this was the only incident that happened. So I guess, they fixed it.
I bought 10 x 100 Dragonshield mattes (to have a reserve ;-) ) and they're all equal size.
I had KMC Full Sized Sleeves - Matte Dark Blue before. Every time I used my cube, multiple sleeves broke. It is total crap. Before
Before those I had the sleeves with Magic card back. I shouldn't have replaced them with the KMC's Sometimes a few of those sleeves would break, but I expect the Dragonshields to be the most durable.

I find that I like the KMC Hypermattes for single sleeved decks. They shuffle and hold up well and I'm partial to their dark blue. They don't seem to do as well when used to double sleeve.
I find all sleeves regardless of brand with artwork backs perform worse than any matte sleeve.

KMC Super Mattes (black, FWIW) have been fantastic for me. Cut evenly, they don't split, work perfectly for double-sleeving, and they don't attract dirt and scratches like a magnet (which Dragon Shields did for us).

Same here (coincidentally, also black). Mine is single-sleeved, so maybe that holds to Otto's theory above (that KMCs are great when single-sleeved).
I've just bought a stack of purple KMC Hyper Mattes for my new pauper cube - they turn up in about a week. I'll let you all know how I go with them. This will be my first feel of a Hyper Matte, let alone use of them, but everyone on here raves about them, so I've given them a go. This cube is going to get punished by a 6yo, so I'll know if they split or not pretty quick.

That's why I'm asking in here. Does anyone know where I can find these? There much be a seriously high demand for this product.
You'd probably have to find someone willing to part with one they bought already, as I'm assuming they had a first run of the product, then got sold out quickly after TCC gave them some good ratings. Either that or wait for the next batch.
Yes, waiting sucks.
My purple Hyper Mattes were due last Tuesday... but there's been a train derailment in the outback that's held up packages between the left and right coasts of Australia for about a week. So I'm guessing they're baking in 100+ degree heat somewhere in the middle of nowhere as I type. Be safe, little sleeves!
My purple Hyper Mattes arrived yesterday (yay for early Christmas presents!)... already in love...
... now trying to figure out how to justify forking out for them on my primary cube...
My wife got me a large Pirate Lab case for my birthday and I love it. It fits several EDH decks in boxes plus my entire 450 double sleeved cube and 200 double sleeved basics.

Would you mind posting a pic of it filled up some time? How large is it? I heard they're a little big, although it's nice it holds a playmat and binder.
Hey guys, I really need a cube container, my cube is worth 10k and still in a shoebox lol.
Ultra pro's looks nice aesthetically but seems shoddily made/overpriced.
Basic clear holders don't quite seem cool enough.
I found the Cube Vault, but I don't like the logo and they aren't immediately purchasable. What options are out there?
The new Cube Vaults should be out next month. Called the owner last week and he said they are almost done with their prototypes. I would just wait to be honest.
There are several different options reviewed on these Tolarian Community College videos. The Quiver and the custom wooden boxes both look like great options:
Thanks! That's great to hear!
