Default Replacement Blu-Ray Cases Without Security Latch

I was wondering if anyone knew where I can get some replacement Blu-Ray cases that have the Blu-Ray logo embossed (like the Disney Blu-Ray cases). I want the ones that don't have the security latch on the side. I want to have all of my cases like that so they can be more uniform.

That security latch can be pushed down, inside the back cover and will usually snap into place and stay down. When you do that, you can hardly see any difference when looking at that end.

I've seen some for sale on Amazon.com, but I do not know if they had security latches.

WHAT is WITH those things anyways? First they show up on DVDs and I spend 5 minutes trying to open a disc only to realize it's clamped shut! Then I get them on Blu-ray too! What are they trying to protect in there? Obviously they are trying to protect it from children, cause any thief can open it as easily as they can open a bag of chips. They are totally useless. The cases stay closed fine by themselves without the latches, and they only tend to piss people off more than anything else!
Let me into my DVD!

Because they make it almost impossible to remove the disc without opening up the case and removing shrink/stickers in a noticeable fashion

Trust me, they are a major deterrent

Exactly. The method most crooks use, as I've said here before, is they slice the edge and slide the disc out. Having that security lock and the baffles at the top and bottom prevent a thief from easily removing the disc without fully removing the plastic, stickers, and opening the box.

Yup, just push it back into the case. It will catch and be held down. I've read some people ripped the thing off of there which was not the right thing to do.
