Already bought a few from him to test and they are the sturdiest Elite cases I have had in hand so far. They open and close pretty hard but I don't mind as long as they're not flimsy.

A lot of asian releases seem to come with the clear type so I asked Yesasia if they might be able to sell any... and appearantly their supplier could not do it.

Any hints are much appreciated

I'd love to find just one clear blu ray case, and not the vortex. This guy sells them 10 a piece. All I need is one

I'm sure he'll do it if you ask, but it will most likely be 7-8 bucks including shipping...

You can get the 11mm type Elite with less round corners here:

Not the same case at all, but it's Elite atleast

Also 10pack but cheaper.

I've been trying to track down the ones from ebay for weeks now but luck. I get most hits when searching for "블루 레이 케이스를 교체" which is "replace bluray case" in korean. Found a picture with a barcode but it's not recognized anywhere on english sites.

http://dvdprime.donga.com/bbs/view.a...ist_id=2212924 the translate here is very poor, can't see any links tho, maybe he's the one who got them

Ahh, the 11mm Elites that only seem to be available in Europe. But as I seem to remember they won't ship outside of Europe.

Those black cases look amazing.

I have a question, it may even be silly, but I'll ask anyway. Has anyone ever seen a clear purple (or light purple) viva case? I ask this because I was thinking it would be cool to use with the Purple Rain BD.

The only purple case I've seen, came with my UK Rock of Ages release. It also has a little glitter mixed in the plastic. Not as good as the one pictured, on this site, but definitely fitting of an 80's style film.

Blu-Dre · 05-08-2013, 12:53 PM

That looks very cool, and would fit. I'll track that down, since I was interested in getting Rock of Ages eventually anyways.

Just to clarify, the case doesn't look exactly as pictured:

Thanks again. It looks fine, for what it is. It's not perfect, but it'll do.

Just ordered another box of 25 Viva Elites from Discmakers, which is still $15.25 after shipping. Tough to beat $.39 per case and $5.50 for shipping.

Those are the non-Eco cases correct? The ones with the cut-outs suck.

OrlandoEastwood · 05-08-2013, 09:20 PM

I'll be buying more black cases here in the next week since Friday is payday for me.

Yes, they are standard Viva Elites with no holes whatsoever.

CRD13NYC · 05-08-2013, 09:31 PM

Has anybody had success replacing their standard cases with thin cases? Does the title on the spine still display correctly? Anybody have any pics?

There are a lot of colored cases on French releases. Like almost every color you could think of. I think it might be Wild Side that has a ton of their releases in colored cases but I could very well be off on that - my memory isn't so good nowadays.

Are you talking about going from 12mm Viva Elites to 11mm Vortex cases?

I think they mean the 6mm cases like here.

Right on. I'll be placing an order shortly, have a bunch of the Eco cases that will be getting the boot.

retrofuturist · 05-13-2013, 06:30 PM

I'd like some 12mm clear cases (single and multi disc), but am having trouble locating them in a sea of 14mm.

The Vortex eco-lite single disc seems to be the only one I can find: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-50-VORTE...-/320873304968

I think this is similar to the one used for my Monster House 3D and Chronos Blu-rays. Are there other options that you guys know about?
