Hi i am from the uk and i noticed that the US has slimmier case's then us. How do get the cases to stand upright if they are so slim?

There's only 3mm difference, I find the 'UK' ones don't stand up very well either.

The US sleeves really dont stand that well on their own either. I have ordered some US replacements based on the below link if you are interested as well.

Discmakers is also a great site to use if you are looking for replacement or additional cases.

I can't stand those thick UK cases. I always switch them out when ordering from the UK. what a waste of space. It may not seem like much space per case, but if you have a lot of Bluray's the saved space adds up quickly.

Not sure why you would stand any BD's in the first place. Either they're on a shelf side-by-side, or displayed on stands.

The UK ones barely stand on their own. A slight shake will drop them.

Are you trying to line them up like dominos?

Yeah, us guys over here in the US don't like them either.

I'm from New Zealand and much prefer the slim cases (and no god damn ratings on the front covers.) Plus they allow for more room on my shelves, if only all my blus and dvds were slim/

The slimmer cases are much more sexy. That's why I never buy UK BDs
