How to remove vinyl records

I was completely oblivious to the phono world and this place helped out immensely. I have one quick question. For some reason, I am under the impression that it is the proper way to store records by taking out the entire paper sleeve from the cardboard sleeve before removing the record. Thus, when I store most of my records the cardboard sleeve could form a 'C' shape with the opening on the right, and the paper sleeve could form a 'U' shape. This forces me to take out the paper sleeve before I remove the record. I hope this makes sense. Is this correct? Incorrect? Overkill? Thank you.

I have the opening of the sleeve facing up (as Jan said), and the outer plastic sleeve's opening on the opposite side of the cardboard opening. I also replace the inner sleeves with Mobile Fidelity plastic inner sleeves. Far less static and dust.

Supposedly the shrinkwrap style plastic continues to shrink over time and can warp the disc even when it is properly stored upright at a less than a 5 degree angle. .

The beer and other extracurriculars did far more damage than the shrink wrap.
