Buyer Reviews : I now have about 15-20 of these albums. They are the best I have used so far. Amazon has them priced cheaper than I have ever seen them as well.
The albums have individual pockets to hold photos and can accept as large as (3) 4X6 's per page side. However, this page side can alternatively hold (1) panoramic per page side. Excellent flexibility.
What I also like about the pockets for pages instead of the magnetic pages, is that you can stack more than one picture in pocket. I do this when I have doubles that I have not given away or pictures of a similar topic matter, just not as good as the ones on top. Due to my way of storing pictures; all pictures go in an album, negatives elsewhere (in a box for 35mm and in an Advantix photo keeper for the APS negatives), this makes it handy to store all the photos you took, not just the ones you want to display.
Since these pockets only open toward the binding, this keeps any pictures from falling out. Only on few occassions with handling with my kids, have any pictures been jostled loose. The plastic is not very slippery to pictures, while the individual pages have never stuck together.
The only negative, was that with the spiral binding, you can't add or subtract sheets. This forces you often to leave some spots blank, if you want to limit an album to groups of negatives. However, given the cost of the album and the durability of the spiral bind (versus a more flexible system), this is not too much of an issue.
