United Kingdom getting hold of blu ray cases for 3 + discs

Hi there, i have some slightly damanged blu ray cases and wanted to replace them with unbroken ones. Also in some cases, i want to my DVD of a blu ray, in the same case as the blu ray itself. Where is the best place to pick a number of empty cases which can hold 3 or more discs?

i put dvd's into blu ray cases as well myself (dont want to display both so just pop the dvd in the blu ray case)

you can purchase the trays on there own on ebay rather than buying the cases that have the trays in them, i get them from aprmedia he sells at a good price 25 trays for £9 i get keeps me going for a while! link is below:

http://www.ebay.co.uk:80/itm/ws/eBay...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

he does all sorts of cases too ranging from single up to about 6 disk holders

Just do a search for 'blu-ray cases' on Amazon, some have the trays if you haven't got enough and they sell the thicker 25mm cases as well. I thought they had trays for sale but the didn't come up in the search. Viva Elite cases have a smaller distance between hinges so they're not compatible with UK trays and cases.

I've done this a few times when I've had the DVD already. I got about 25 amaray 2 disc trays from an ebay seller, the one welshgezza suggested, then I just add my 1 or 2 DVD discs in with the blu, then store the DVD box. That seller seems to have stopped selling the double disc trays I bought from him though, now only sells a 2 disc tray that looks as if you stack the discs on top of each other.
[Show spoiler]
My ones look like this, one disc on either side;


whereas their new 2 disc looks like you stack the discs;


I think someone on the forum used this site, where you can be more specific in the number of trays you want.
If you end up going with the ebay seller aprmedia you would be as well getting them directly via their site, you can get more for your money and still use paypal.

Hey could I also ask people what is the general thickness of an average uk blu-ray? is it 14mm? That seems to be the most common size but I just need to be sure. I would measure my cases but I honestly cannot find a ruler anywhere .

Yeah the standard UK size is 14mm, US 11mm or 12.5mm

Thank you for the link I just bought a pack of 10 Blu-ray cases. One of my Blu-ray cases won't close, it's not broken as far as I can see but now I can just swap it.

I bought the 11 ml cases as the broken case is a slim one, I had not noticed that the cases are different thicknesses.
