Awful Blu-Ray cases and what can be done about them - Blu-ray Forum

Metallix87 · 12-10-2013, 01:15 AM

So this year, I've purchased hundreds of BDs, and there are two that stick out in my collection for their absolutely awful boxes: The Back of the Future Trilogy box, and the Futurama BD Volumes. They're flimsy, damage easily, and don't offer even decent protection for the discs held within. I'm really not sure how else to say this, but my skills with graphics programs and even printing (since I have no printer right now) are limited. That being said, I was wondering if it would be possible for us, as a community, to band together to "fix" this issue by having some more skilled and, perhaps, generous members design new cover arts for these Blu-Rays (and potentially other troublesome ones) and, potentially, provide myself and any others interested with them.

Again, I hope I'm not being too forward about it, and any and all help would be appreciated, so if you think you can solve this problem for myself and others, please feel free to discuss options.

Someone should sticky that so it's easy to find!

I have the region free UK edition of The Back to the Future Trilogy, which comes in a sturdy Amaray case and is less expensive than the domestic edition even after shipping.

Highly recommended for any fan of this trilogy.

I got the individual Amarays of each film in the trilogy (from Finland). Since the covers for each are nothing special, if I was buying the trilogy now, I'd go for the UK trilogy Amaray set mentioned here.

I got this version when I was in London last summer. MUCH better, pricing and casing, wise. Completely agree with Owl on this.
