You can buy GENERIC slip cases for magazines and softcover books at a lot of Office supply stores.
I have about a dozen of them and use some for work and others for RPG soft cover books and Magazines.

They seldom cost more than $10-15 each at those places, and IMO they are a better choice over most Binders, since they wont place any undue stress on the spines of the magazines.
And if combined with slip covers (Plastic sleeves with card backs) they provide ample protection and very easy access.

Of course they dont have fancy lettering, but mine have small windows  for lables, with a small handle for pulling the drawer out.


The one I am showing below is over 30 years old and shows some age, but it is still exceedingly sturdy.
It is 12" deep and 10-1/2" tall, and the storage area is 5" wide, which means full sized books and other similarly sized items must be stored on a side, not standing up.
But that also means the slip case fits onto almost any shelf too.
Sometimes shelving is too short to fit a binder.

I have not tried it yet, but I suspect it would hold about 30-35 Dragon mags, or 50 Polys.

As an aside, this slipcase/pull out is the same format as the Silver Anniversary boxes.  I believe some guy had an auction recently for 6 or 7 of them.  Although they are probably sold now - I was tempted but the shipping was a bit much.
