Any quality issues? Comments on this brand or this merchant?

Wish I could find a good deal on 10 triple BD cases that are not the wide 22mm. Seen 12-14mm but shipping makes it expensive. Discmakers requires 25 minimum & doubt I'll ever need that many triples. Need 5 now so plan to buy 10 just in case I need to combine a BD with a Double DVD set in the future.

I like the Sleevetown ones the best but for 10, $8.69 + $8.50 S&H!

Damn it... theyre generic?

I actually bought from them too because an experienced forumer talked about it. I wouldnt have bought from them if i knew it was generics

unless they list them as Viva Elites, or Vortex they are pretty much ALL 3rd party. They have the blu ray logo on them just like the Viva's and Vortex's usually the only diff is the slightly squared edges. when you go to shop4tech's site or supermediastore.com enlarge the fotos of them, they'll show you all you need to know

Think i bought 25 of the generics for 12 dollars shipped. No wonder it was so cheap

Might flip them on ebay

lol, depends on your OCD when you see em. they're virtually indistinguishable from other blu ray cases except for the squared edges (some of the smaller studios like Mill creek use the ones from supermediastore.com and shopt4tech's style). If you've seen any of their titles like the Ernest double feature etc you'll know what to expect

Bought my 1st BD cases:

$10.99 for 25, I bought 3 x 25 to get over the $25 minimum for free S&H.

Now have "lifetime" supply of double BD cases.

SuperMediaStore 12mm Standard Double Blu-Ray DVD Case with Licensed Blu-Ray Logo 25 Pack
Product Code: AC 001 3011
$32.97
Quantity: 3

Coupon code A8201B0C gets you $3 off of $30+ orders.

So my Total = $29.97 shipped which is $0.40 per case.

Now to find a way to get 10 triple cases that are not 22mm thick for a reasonable total cost.

$10?
Hate to pay $16-20 for a mere 10 cases.

Is it possible to purchase new artwork for Bluray discs?

I've purchased some used discs from Blockbuster and some of them didn't have any artwork or it was in pretty bad shape.

I've heard of people contacting the company that put the blu-ray out and getting replacements mailed out. There is also the custom art thread too.

Some people such as myself only want the discs and sell/trade the art work, empty cases, etc. to buy more movies!

Then how do you store them when not in use?

[shoptomcom]

All of my discs are in my changer so that I never have to touch them. As long as I keep my collection under 400 I am good!

Hi guys, I recently bought some blu-ray cases on Ebay , it seems like they are a touch bigger than a standard blu ray cases, the corners are more squared then rounded like normal blu-ray cases and the blu-ray logo is just blue, its not silver like on some other cases I have bought from Ebay. Help me out here guys, where is the cheapest authentic blu-ray cases? These are not that bad but still I am considering throwing them out anyways because I am kind of a perfectionist.

thanks

probably about $30 ish for a 50 pack would be my findings

50 Vortex cases: $15.50 + $7 = $22.50
