broken bluray cases - Blu-ray Forum

blu-bren · 07-02-2010, 07:15 AM

I bought a blu-ray today & opened it and find the middle clip that holds the disc in place, f#@!ing broken

Yesterday I realized this other one (a skinny USA case)
opened strangely was because it too was broken (where it open at the spine)

Anyone else come home from getting a Bluray or so or gotton online and find out the case is broken..

Yeh, I've had the push-down button which holds the disc in place broken. Received it from EzyDVD. But I work at Video Ezy and we have a whole stash of BD cases stored so I took a couple home.

I've had the odd broken case, one time when I bought one at The Warehouse, the checkout woman kept slamming it into the security device to take out the lock, and I said to her "Im not going to buy it if you break it" and sure enough, she handed back to me and it was cracked. I told her there isnt anywhere to buy blank BD cases around here, so I didnt buy it.

The next time I went into the store, I saw it in the 'scratched' bin for 10 bucks less, so I bought it lol (reminds me, I also did the same thing when I said a disc was scratched about 3 min after I bought it, came back next day and bought it 15 bucks cheaper, and it works).

But yeah, broken cases are extremely annoying because you cant just walk into a store and buy new cases yet.

You can buy Amarays here: http://www.pcx.com.au/(X(1)A(tKPpag1...ookieSupport=1

I've bought from them before and their postage is reasonable and the prices are good (no more than 92 cents a case and less if you buy more). Just don't buy the double disc cases. The picture shows an Amaray case but you'll note that the description only says premium and not Amaray. The double cases they sell are the square ones like Fox has issued with a lot of their titles lately. The single discs are Amaray cases though.
