I wasn't sure if this would be better in a new thread, but I through it in here for now.
A few weeks ago I desided it's time to double sleeve some of my decks, because... cards are expensive...
Now, I found some really cool sleeves for one of the decks. But sleeves with images seem to be bad with shuffling and tend to get damaged easily.
So, I'm thinking about tripple sleeving, to protect the sleeves (with for example KMC Character Guard).
Question 1: which Outer sleeves would be best and do they all fit (around Ultra Pro Sleeves)?
Question 2: would the deck still fit in an Ultra Pro Satin Tower? If not, where would it fit?
So first of all my suggestion is to stop getting sleeves with printed things on the back. Those types of sleeves are just more prone to falling apart. My suggestion tends to be KMC Hyper Matte or Dragon Shield. I actually like the durability of Dragon Shields quite a bit but I found that they are prone to just anything and everything sticking to them so they always look dirty as hell. KMC Hyper Matte are very similar but dont have the gunk build up which is why I moved to them.
2) Ultra Pro Towers are just right at 100 card double sleeving. You might be able to increase that count to like 105 double sleeved or possibly even 110 if you squeeze it in but I doubt there is more than that for room. If you were to get a third outer sleeve I suspect it would cause a problem because it would need to be somehow oversized to contain the inner two sleeves. I suspect this will cause any container to not fit right unless you do something custom.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I use Ultra Pro Satin Towers for each of my decks. I also double sleeve mine and it perfectly fits a 100 card double sleeved deck. I just pack them into a backpack and they nicely stack in together side by side. The best part of this plan is I can bring more or less decks as I want fairly easily. The towers have room for dice as well and then I keep a spare tower for tokens and dual sided cards.
I honestly cannot stand by most of Ultra Pro's products but honestly their Satin Towers are really good products. I have not seen a deck container that I have felt is better than what they have done.
