Blu-Ray Cases - Blu-ray Forum

Hey guys,

A year or two ago I bought a large box full of official Viva Elite Blu-Ray cases, and every time I buy a movie and it comes in one of those awful eco-boxes, or the dumb locking case (Vortex), I'll swap the box out for a Viva Elite.

Well, I'm running low, I have less than 5 left for 2 disc, and I'm completely out of 3-disc ones. Hardly anything is a single disc anymore

One thing that's gotten on my nerves is how 4-disc sets are being packaged. They bear the Viva Elite logo, but the little nubs in the center are larger, and as such two discs are stacked on both the left and right, fitting 4 into a standard 12.5mm case. This is a horrible idea, though, since often these sets include standard DVDs too and those don't have scratch protection.

I noticed that a few movies - Life of Pi 3D was like this, and more recently Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters 3D was like this - have a different style case that holds 3 discs - it's still 12.5mm, but like a 2-disc Viva Elite, it has one disc on each the left and right of the box, and then the insert in the middle only holds one disc, rather than two.

So I had the idea of hybridizing these, and I took the 2-disc middle insert from a 3-disc Viva Elite box, and placed it in the case instead of the 1-disc insert. The end result was I can now store 4 discs in a standard 12.5mm size without stacking anything. It worked perfectly.

Well, unfortunately I cannot find these different style cases for sale anywhere. I'd love to buy a bunch of them, then a bunch of 3-disc Viva Elites and just mix them so I have my own home-made 12.5mm 4-disc cases I can use for movies like Monsters University 3D (3D + two 2D Blu-Ray + DVD) and Avengers. Does anyone know what this other style of case is?

This is what I have currently:

And I'm happy to buy more of these. I just need a solution for 4-disc sets, as those seem to be becoming more common these days with 3D Blu-Rays plus additional discs of special features.

Or does anyone else have a recommendation for storing 4 discs in a 12.5mm case without stacking them? The reason the thickness matters so much is that most of these movies have the paper slip-covers, so I can't use a thicker case or it simply will not work.
