I love these protectors
by Ignacio from South Bound Brook, NJ
Pros: The price is great for the offered protection
Cons: Too bad they don't sell them at every airport FBO
Review: I use approach plates for many airports constantly,making it necesary to have the charts readily accessible and yet protected. These protectors are so good that I recently ordered six packs of 10.That way I can put all the plates I use constantly without having to keep taking them out of the Jepp book. Great way to keep them neat, clean and ready when needed.

Best solution for Jepp plates
by David Cheung from Oakland, CA
Pros: Keeps plates dry when you sneeze on them.
Cons: Not free?
Review: If you use Jepp Express plates, these are the best solution out there for frequently used plates that may get abused otherwise. Like another reviewer said, these will not let your plate fall out, and you can insert multiple plates, pull them from your airway manual and clip them in your clipboard, ready for use. I particularly like the fact that they provide a place for my enroute charts, as the binders I use (ASA style) do not have built-in pockets. I don't use them for the Terminal charts, as they don't seem to be designed for that purpose. All this and the fact that they're the least expensive of the two options for chart protectors make these the best solution currently available for Jepp Express plates.

Review: Some folks have moaned about the hole perforations not being perforated... this is not such a big deal as it will take you just a few extra minutes to attach it to your kneeboard of choice. I prefer these protectors to the Jepp's as they allow for easy removal of the paper Plate (unlike the Jepp protectors)

Not Big Enough for JeppView Printouts
by Christopher Ball from Jacksonville, FL
Pros: Proabably fine for the Jeppesen subscription service.
Cons: everything else
Review: If you use JeppView and print your own approach plates on regular 8-1/2 x 11" paper, these will not work. They are too narrow and the paper hangs over the binder rings and won't close. Also the vinyl that this product is made of will absorb ink from your printer (even lasers) and will imprint the inside of the vinyl. Then if you have to remove the approach plate or replace it, the lines on the inside of the vinyl will make it impossible to read the new plate . . . making them useless.

Beats the Jeppesen Brand Hands Down
by Scotty from Seattle, WA
Pros: Durable, reliable, and holds your chart steady
Cons: Expandable charts have to be removed to use.
Review: In an busy airline environment, with short hops, and quick chart canges, these chart protectors are by far the best. I have both these and the Jeppesen ones, and the Jepps are open on both vertical sides, and the flap at hte top is constantly opening, and charts falling out. They just don't stay put. These however are only bad for the large folding charts, as you'll have to remove the chart to work with it. Great product overall.
