I recently acquired my first set of Davo pages. The short version of the story is an (inexpensive) offer I couldn't refuse.

However, I have PAGES only and no binder. I'm hoping someone can recommend a binder and/or slipcase other than the $70 Davo Luxe two-post binder.

Here are my issues/concerns:
* I don't care about plastic vs. leather; just nothing too horribly ugly
* I'd prefer to spend less than $70
* I prefer lay-flat ring binders over post style but it's not a deal-breaker

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions,
KirkS

P.S. Here are the details for the Davo Luxe: https://paloalbums.com/collections/...er-slip-case

P.P.S. I have read the best pre-existing SCF thread on Davo: https://goscf.com/t/48778

Kirk, I buy my stuff directly from Davo. Their website is http://Davo.nl and they do have other albums. The website is in English as well as other languages. Their shipping costs are always very reasonable.

That helps a little, Peter. Based on current Euro conversion, the price would be $48 plus another $18 for shipping - a few dollars less than $70 in the USA.

-UPDATE- I found lower price of $60 in USA. Still interested in other binders, brands, styles, etc.

The issue is the two-hole punch. All album makers that I know of punch their pages to fit only their own binders. In other words, you'd need a Davo binder to fit your pages. You could certainly buy a new or used blank Davo binder (without any country labeled on it). You could buy any other used Davo binder witg another country's name is on it. This would bother me, though.
Subway Stamp Shop's website lists some sale priced Davo binders.

Or you could look around and find another album maker's binder that will fit the fairly large Davo sized pages and have your pages punched to fit that album. Likely candidates include Lindner, Lighhouse, Schaubek, perhaps others. But getting the pages hole punched to fit such an album may not be that easy to do. Print shop can sometimes do this but you'd need to bring them a page from that album to match to.

You could easily hole punch them with three holes, though, as those hole punches can easily be found. This might be the best choice since finding a 3-ring binder will be easier. But it also has to be large enough for the Davo sized pages. The likely candidates are Lighthouse Grande and Lighthouse "G" binders or the "We-R-Memory Keepers" binder often sold on Amazon. All three will fit larger 3-ring pages, though they vary in the shape of their rings. Try to look at some pictures to choose the one you like best. The LH G binder has tall rectangular rings (which I don't like because I find them difficult to use) but the LH Grande has D-rings which are more normal. The We-R binder has round rings, I think.

Or use a springback album which will not require any holes punched. Finding a suitably sized springback binder won't be easy, either, as there aren't that many publishers that make them -- Lighthouse, Schaubek, perhaps a few others. And, again, Davo pages are large enough not to fit easily into many of these binders, also. It might be worth trying, though.

This is the problem with buying pages without a binder to house them as you are finding out.

Davo pages are too wide to fit into a Lighthouse Grande - I suspect that a large springback is the more practical approach.

Kirks, Spring for the $60-. You'll be happier in the long run.

Thanks for the feedback, Drew. Lots for me to review. Definitely, the 2-post hole are the issue.

Jack, you are probably right. I'm very close to biting that bullet
