No doubt!

Actually, the 19 damaged cases were not damaged from the shipment. The molding on the spine edges was coming apart on all of them.

Is there any Canadian direct companies for replacment Blu ray cases.

So I found someone on eBay who had multiple Elite 3-disc cases, got a whole bunch of them. Some are double Blu-ray swing trays, some are single. I have put them together so I have standard thickness either 2 or 4-disc cases, and I now have plenty of 4-disc cases for condensing trilogies or quadrilogies.

Now I'm looking for WHITE blu-ray cases. I have found clear, but not white. Looking for around 30 of them if anyone knows a source.

This place sells "frosted" cases: http://www.meritline.com/14mm-frosty...--p-45035.aspx

But solid white? That's a good one.

[countryknight]

I've seen solid white ones, and I know some HD-DVDs and blu-rays came in solid white, but they are super rare. About like trying to get black cases. I'd like to find something in a different shade of blue, like powder blue or navy if possible.

I'm putting my entire video & gaming library into smaller cases. My Blu-rays go into Blu-ray cases, and I've condensed them down. I sell off the DVDs, and condense trilogies, quadrilogies, etc. into single width cases. I'm big on custom artwork.

DVDs go into HD-DVD cases, with custom artwork. These are smaller and thinner. My custom-built entertainment center is 5 cases wide, 22.25" deep drawers, (43 cases deep) 5 drawers tall, which will hold 1075 cases total.

I want to do the same with my Wii games. I can get the frosty cases, but I'd prefer white. I might get red cases simply because I can get them in 30s, and I have 20 Wii games, and that's likely all I'm going to see for a long while, so 30 ought to last.

I love having the custom colors - I'd like to get about 20 yellow cases for my son's Wiggles DVDs, I love color coding my library.

I'm also in the process of getting rid of every VHS tape and converting to Blu-ray or DVD if it doesn't come on VHS. There are a few that only come on VHS...but that's another story.

Indeed. I'm happy to report that only one of the 25 cases that I received in the second shipment was damaged. The other 24 were in perfect shape.

Shop4Tech sells single-disc Black PS3 cases here: http://www.shop4tech.com/z/PS3_DVD_Cases/49_609_1941

And Casetopia sells orange and green cases.

I'm not big on the green and orange - and they're pretty expensive. I recall seeing some "smoke" black or clear black at one time but can't find them. Color coding is not the easiest with different media.

I asked the same question earlier, and didn't get any response. Nisei used to sell various colored cases, including white ones, but now only sells black.

As an FYI, there's this Non-Blu Amaray Cases thread for retail releases that come in weird colors.

Check out the UK version of Bridesmaids I imported:

So you imported it just because of the color of the case?

Well, when I ordered it, it on sale and was the same price as the US store, so I figured the pink case was worth the shipping time. Normally, I wouldn't have paid more for the case color.

I may eventually use the case (it's a 3-disc) to repackage my copies of the Austin Powers films; I found a nice psychedelic custom cover.

I did too. I sold the film and used the case for The Loved Ones from Germany.

Casetopia has the White Wii cases (with the logo on the inside). Here's a linky.

[countryknight]

Thanks Quickdraw - but those are standard sized DVD cases, unfortunately. I am looking for the Blu-ray sized cases. I've got standard Wii cases, I'd like to find white Blu-ray sized.

Maybe I'll PM Nisei and see if there are any other colors in small lot sizes.

And so you did
I'm really sorry to say that there aren't. At least not from me.

[Goremageddon]

Hey everyone. Sorry if this has already been asked. I went through about 50 or 60 pages and didn't find the answer, so here goes :

Does anyone know where I can find standard blu-ray cases (12mm) that hold 4 or more discs? Every link I've seen for 4 disc is 14mm wide. Thank you.

I was just going to post this. Thanks for the shout-out, Lava!

(Just an unbiased observer... carry on. )

I sprung for a few orange and green cases from Casetopia when I sent for some seven and eight-disc cases the other week; if you find the right cover to go with them they stand out nicely.




The Princess Bride is in the green Incredible Hulk case from a few years ago; Kick-Ass is in the green cases Casetopia sells. (And don't ask me where I got that KA cover art, I can't remember!)
