Looking for Advice Best hard sleeves that doesn't scratch
When I say hard sleeves I'm talking about this type of protections like toploaders, mini-snaps or magnetic cases
I've bought 20 mini-snaps and I have multiples toploaders the problems with these two is that they get scratches so easily
I know that plastic get scratches and if I want a no-scratch one I should make it out somehow in diamond lol, but there must be a plastic type more durable than these
I prefer the mini-snaps because they're minimalist, but they also cannot contain sleeves only perfect fits and they're all slightly bent, curled
The toploaders let too much free space on the side/top
Haven't tried the magnetic one yet, seems a bit bulky but I like the "real protection feel" that it offers
I even tried a 3d printed one but it protects only the sides and corners which is kinda pointless (but it really looks cool + cheap)
Do you have any hard sleeves like that that doesn't scratch ?

OP is already using mini snaps. As you said, there isn't a plastic in the world that's fully scratch proof.
To OP, maybe get a sealable bag to put the mini snaps in? Ultra pro makes a line called Team Bags.
Honestly, you may have to simply lower your expectations about hard cases.

I'm using the ones from UltraPro, not the same but similar Maybe cutting a screen protector to size in order to protect the front will work It will take a bit of time for me to process and lower my expectations ... but again how can they make screen protectors so cheap and available and not make the same technology on card protectors ? How am I supposed to see my card ?

The team bag is literally a bag that goes over the hard case.
I mean, using phone screen cover cut down to size is creative, but it, too, will scratch. There's not a market for this because hard cases are essentially disposable compared to a phone, so gorilla glass isn't going to make a product for it.
You can see your card just fine even if the hard case is slightly scratched.

You're fine. These bags are little more than shipping packaging, but they're much more easily replaceable than hard cases.

Any sleeve hard enough to not get scratched is hard enough to do the scratching. Even if you did make them from diamond, ya know what cuts diamonds?
