Any help in regards to the question I posted a couple of days ago about 3-disc Vortex cases?

The only other store that I know of that carries the 3-disc Vortex cases is Sleeve City.

I haven't seen a site other then Case sell them. I really Disc Markers would offer more but they don't. As far as other outlets you can try ebay but again those might come in the same condition.

I got a bad batch from Disc Makers one time and they were dirty as well. Didn't bother to much but it was annoying to say the least. Oh well something it better then nothing.

Are they actual Vortex cases? They make them sound like they are their own.

I wish they would too since I use them for all the cases they do sell.

I will probably end up with Casetopia and hope for the best.

Sorry about that, it looks like they may have changed to a generic 3-disc case.

Blu-rays For Everyone has them, but they are fairly pricey here:

I'm wondering if AGI discontinued the 3-disc Vortex case as they no longer have it listed as an available option in the non-red tag case section.

I noticed the 4-disc Vortex case carried by Casetopia is now a 2-hub design (2 discs per hub w/ no trays).

Probably several reasons ...

1. Lower demand for colors other than blue.
2. Color additives for plastics vary widely (and wildly) in price.
3. Some color additives for plastics are tricky to deal with as they affect the physical properties of the plastic (causing brittleness, less resistance to impact, etc.). That said, black is the worst to deal with and black cases are available.

Anyone have any experience with that store? Hopefully I can get an idea before I even consider spending the money.

I've ordered Blu-rays from them before and they're a reliable company.

I've purchased 11 copies of The Wolverine 3D and 9 of them suffered greatly from this problem. But then again, I've purchased 30 copies of The Jason Statham Collection and only one of them suffered from brittleness, and it was not as bad as with The Wolverine.

I wish someone in the US would stock up on some of those pink cases from Alibaba. I wouldn't buy a ton, but I'd definitely grab a 10 pack or so.

Brian81 · 03-20-2015, 01:17 PM

If someone sold the clear Elites, oh man...that'd be the best. I have a few that came with releases, but if they were all like that? The black cases are nice as well, and would look good with certain titles (ex. Halloween series, horror titles, etc), but the lack of transparency doesn't work in cases where there's interior artwork on the sleeve insert.

It's definitely possible for someone to order colored cases but the minimum quantity on Alibaba is usually 10-20K. That's a lot of cases so there would have to be a lot of demand for the cases to make it viable.

Not sure how the Alibaba site works, but there are now offers for black cases:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detai...472000237.html

If it requires a high quantity, maybe someone could organize a group buy?

neoz · 03-25-2015, 05:00 AM

Man, I would almost be interested but I don't want cheap Chinese knock offs.
Granted Elite is a Chinese company in of itself but better to have decent stuff then cheap stuff that probably doesn't even look good. And they look like Vortex design as well.

It'd have to be one heck of a group.

That is the same amount that Casetopia told me that they would have to get in order to get official black and clear ones from Elite.

It states the minimum order is 50,000 cases.
