The Blu-ray Replacement Case Thread

[Dick Deckard]

I may order some of those clear cases from casetopia.

I ordered some viva elite replacement cases from discmakers. My last order was probably 4 years ago. These cases are thinner and not as sturdy as the last viva elite cases I bought years ago. Is there anywhere I can order rhe thicker viva elites like they used to send from discmakers?

No, unfortunately Viva has made the cases thinner over the years to save themselves additional cost.

Does someone know how many millimeters is the Blu Ray case like the one of the Incredibles or the Disney 3D ones?

I'm looking for some empty cases with the same measure that can fit two discs.

The 4-disc Viva Elite used for the Incredibles is 15mm but the 1-3 disc cases are 12.5mm.

I usually get my replacement cases through this seller on eBay. The Viva Elite are the same ones Universal, Shout/Scream, and MPI use. I've placed multiple orders and have been satisfied every single time!

I have, but its been more than a year. I do recall them shipping fairly quickly, though; my order arrived maybe ten days after placement online.

Is there a way to know if too much heat sealant has been applied before purchase? Do people have better luck with this at certain stores?

I think it's too much heat that causes the plastic wrap to stick to the spines of DVDs and Blu-rays.

[hockeyshark91]

Quick question- which 4 and 6 disc cases are the thinnest available? Are there any 11mm or do they start at 14mm? Thanks!

[grrrarg]

I haven't had much luck with replacement cases, in the days of DVD I ordered Amaray cases from usplastic.com and I received different cases than what I ordered. I ordered some Blu-ray cases from someplace a few years ago and I received dusty/dirty cases that were scratched up and looked used... (wasn't a private seller).

After those not-the-greatest experiences I've opted to get most of my replacement cases from Dollar Tree whenever they get a shipment of $1 Blu-ray movies in, which has worked great, but now I would like to get a larger quantity.

So it sounds like Casetopia is relatively well regarded?

Is there a certain quantity that come in a case/carton so that I can just order an amount that doesn't need to be repacked?

I'm interested in either blue or clear 1 disc Viva Elite cases. It looks like the 2 disc clear Viva cases do not have the Blu-ray logo on on them?

Thanks for any feedback

The Vortex cases also have the optional locking side latch.

I bought mine in bulk in 100 quantity for $0.26 each from discmakers.com.

As always, avoid like the plague any of the Viva Ecos with the cut outs if you care about your discs. Absolute penny pinching junk that often ruins brand new discs and their cover art.

Hey,
I went to discmakers and eventually found this page:
http://www.discmakers.com/shop/Paren...LURAYCASES.asp
The closest I could find to $0.26 for 100 were these @ $0.29 before $10 shipping
https://www.discmakers.com/shop/Item...D=BDR022-00002
Your price wasn't with shipping included was it? If yes, could you give any tips on how to get that.

I have to go re-evaluate what Amazon has. I'm too poor to spend so much on replacement cases. I though they had some for ~$25+/- for 100. Perhaps they are not great quality though... Even buying blu-ray cases has to be an big en-devour for me.

EDIT: thanks rdodolak - Some how even though I had that tab open I kept skipping over it... Thank you
https://www.discmakers.com/shop/Item...D=BDR022-00001 - Still has a hefty shipping charge of $10 though that stings, but it seems actually a little lower than any of the 100 Qty I could find at Amazon. The dismaker's site also lets you set your own quantities. I'm trying to figure out what are the best quantities to order in. It looks like buying 200 saves around $4.00 more. Wonder if I can find someone on C.L. to buy 100 or so of them around $0.35 a pop?

I believe he was referring to the single disc cases which are $0.26/ea per 100.

Hi, I was wondering if you could add this link to your 1st post? If it's already there, (I spent a little time looking but didn't find it possibly because of the cloaked URLs) but we've already seen that I seem to have problems observing & finding things today :lol:
If you do add it or if it is there could you also then identify it something to do with various colors for sale or some such, I think that would be helpful. I went looking for some colored replacements once and wish I had known about this thread / that person (Even if they are pricey).
