The verdict

The smaller Card Saver, for a different storage footprint

I would choose Card Saver II only after deciding that its smaller format suits the storage plan. It is a separate model from Card Saver I, even though sellers sometimes use Roman and Arabic numerals interchangeably.

Choose it if

You want the smaller semi-rigid Card Saver for standard cards.

Look elsewhere if

You need the larger insertion format of Card Saver I or are following a separate submission requirement.

Will it fit?

Manufacturer-stated

The manufacturer gives a 3 × 4 inch body plus a half-inch lip. This is the holder size, not its usable internal card clearance. Its standard soft-sleeve page names Card Saver II as a compatible pairing.

The number identifies a model

Card Saver 2 and Card Saver II refer to this model; neither is simply a two-pack of Card Saver I. I would check both the name and holder dimensions before replacing an existing storage setup.

The smaller footprint may matter in a box, but it is not a reason to force a bulky card into a holder. Thick-card compatibility needs a specific supported thickness, which is not established by the general standard-card description here.

A box is not a case

The checked factory listing contains ten 200-holder boxes in a 2,000-holder case. A single box supplies one holder each for 200 cards. This review does not translate the manufacturer’s grading-related marketing into current submission instructions.
