2 days in and these sleeves feel great. I purchased the Ultimate Guard Cortex Blue Glossy sleeves and their clarity is quite nice. The shuffle feel is better than my current sets of Ultra Pro and Dragon Shield sleeves. Likely a little better than my Legions as well. They were MUCH easier to sleeve in than the Legions, a little easier than the Ultra Pro's, and about on par with my Dragon Shields. Will update if/when one splits.

Look and feel nice. Not as good as katana’s obviously. But they’re good for the price

If you’re buying these to single sleeves then they’re decent enough. But if you’re planning on double sleeving then I would look at something else. I’ve purchased dozens of boxes of Katana sleeves and have never had a single issue double sleeving (other than a tight fit which I consider a minor inconvenience). My box of Cortex sleeves were cut unevenly across the top (see picture attached to review) which resulted in the KMC perfect inner sleeves poking through the top of the Cortex sleeve. This might not have been a major issue if there was more room at the top to allow for inconsistency in manufacturing. Couple that with the fact that the edges are cut pretty rough and the face of the sleeves having white plastic smeared on the front that leads me to not recommending these sleeves to anyone. Just pay a few dollars extra for Katanas or look at a different brand.

Feel like most dragon shields but shuffle like butter as the Katanas do.

Sleeves had a good shuffle feel, nice design, and the gloss on the front side displays a nice clear picture. However, the sleeves were marked which makes them unfit for competitive play.
