I don't free cards I buy, but I also don't submit my ungraded. I used to like the screw-downs, but they just look clunky and ugly next to the Ultrapro magnetic one-touches I have moved to. I would buy a few 35pts on eBay and check them out. They have a good heft and look great on display. They also give a ton more protection than a graded case as they have UV protection from color fade.

I understand your point but one of the problems with going to the one touch is that when you collect Bowman (both sizes) Leaf, and Topps both pre and post 57 there isn't any constant product to display them in except top loaders or card savers and they are both ugly to display.
I use non recessed 4 screw downs. I cut black archival paper to fit the inside of the case then cut an opening that holds the card. Like SGC graded cards. That way the cards are protected, not crushed and all of the cases are uniform on the outside dimensions to line up in the wall cases I've built to house them.
May not be for everyone but I'm very happy with the results.
