Make sure you look at the number of discs required and then the case thickness. It's easiest if you're trying to match the same brand as used by the manufacturer.

There might be, but I'm not aware of a current post and it can vary from release. Universal, Fox, Paramount, Lionsgate and WB tend to use Viva Elite cases while Sony tends to use Vortex cases. Disney has used both. I haven't kept up with the later Game of Thrones releases or re-releases but if you have an existing case you're trying to replace then we can help you find the correct case if you can post pictures. Most likely, since HBO is distributed by WB they're using Viva Elite cases.

I forget who it is on the boards, but he's made custom covers for the GOT seasons. I want to put the seasons into regular bluray cases to save on shelf space.

same thing w/the Harry Potter Ultimate Editions, I have custom covers for those and want to put them into smaller cases as well.

so that's what i'm looking at doing in the near future.

Custom covers are usually designed for a specific width for the case spine so long as you have the right width the case manufacturer shouldn't matter other than personal preference.

I have the bulky Godfather Trilogy set from the U.K., where can I buy an empty slim case similar to the one found in the American set?

A 4 disc Elite? eBay.

I purchased them through this link and they're DVD size.

Does anyone know of a legit source for arrow video replacement cases? I'm at my wits end, here. I cannot find anyone on ebay or amazon that sells them!

I found these on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272585406153...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Bit the bullet and placed an order. Have yet to receive them, though... Will update when they arrive.

I only have two single-disc Viva Elite replacement cases left in the box. Uh-oh!

50 Viva Elite single-disc cases just ordered from Discmakers for $26.50 total. Woo hoo!

Here's to another year of having replacement cases easily at hand.

It's funny... For those of us who are serious Blu-ray fans, this is the equivalent of a vehicle oil change. We have to pay for this occasional maintenance to keep our collections running smoothy.

I received them and that's when I realized they were DVD sized

Where's the best place to get 4 disc Blu-ray cases with a divider in them? I hate the stacked ones I have and they need to be replaced.

Here's what I do:

Get these: https://www.discmakers.com/shop/Item...D=BDR025-00003

Then get these and stick one on the front inside cover: https://smile.amazon.com/100-Clear-A...4864842&sr=8-1

This is the cheapest way and they are reliable.

Still looking for an Epik-Pak source. Somebody must know something!

[thelwig14]

If anyone has ever found a 12 disc case, info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Uuuuugggghhhh... Seriously?! Well that sucks. Did you try returning them? I hate to hassle with returning something to the UK, but if these are indeed DVD sized and not bluray sized (as advertised), they'll definitely be going back. I've got no use for them...

Does anyone know where I can find 2-disc Scanavo clear Blu-ray cases? Casetopia has them but their shipping is too expensive for me - $22,50 for three $0,85 cases...
