The Blu-ray Replacement Case Thread

[herb81]

For those looking for the clear Amaray cases that Arrow uses, a German seller on eBay has both the 1 Disc and 2 Disc versions for sell. Here are the links.

Thanks for posting these.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this type of amaray case (holds 4-discs)?

[Show spoiler]

Apart from rebuying the UK Dexter Blu-rays I don't know where else you'd be able to get these.

Thanks

Are you sure that's an Amaray? Looks like a Viva Elite to me, based on the non-embossed blu ray logo, as well as the spine. Does it look like this inside:

Oh I see. Yes I believe it looks similar. Sorry I don't know much about the variation of Blu-ray case types. But thanks, I'll have to see if they ship to the UK. I've noticed the US Dexter cases are slightly slimmer so I'll need to do some detective work or should I say forensic work?

Yeah, that looks like the same one to me. And considering the fact that the seller in the eBay link I posted is located in the UK, it would be very weird if he didn't ship to the UK itself.

Looks like it, I didn't realise it was called a Viva Elite case. I found the precise listing on eBay UK, bought two. Thanks a lot for your help, appreciate it.

Criterion cases holds any standard blu ray sleeve?
I hate ALL blue cases, I want replace with clear plastic cases.

ps: the most ugly thing that I ever see is the ECO Cases are a insult to the blu ray buyers.

No, Criterion cases do not hold any standard blu-ray sleeve. Their spines are much thicker plus Criterion sleeves extend all the way to the top of the case, unlike most blu-ray cases that have the plastic banner with the blu-ray logo at the cop. If you want clear plastic cases you'll have to buy clear Viva Elites such as Twilight Time or Vinegar Syndrome use.

The bugger insult is UHD BD eco case. I pay $35 for movies and all I get is eco case!

[zakzak]

Are these 11mm spine type?

Re: Those flimsy eco-cases that Warner & Fox use for their standard releases.
Which type you can order/use to replace these? I would like to use a sturdier, higher quality type like the Scanavos Criterion uses for their releases.
The Scanavos or the PS3/4 cases have higher consistency in their quality.

Is this true?? I have a couple of dozen new Elite cases that don't allow the disc to rotate freely on the hub; I believe this is because the teeth hold the disc pretty tightly. Most of my Elite cases, however, allow some give.

I thought tight hubs were a problem only with DVDs because those discs consist of two polycarbonate layers, which can come apart when pressure is applied to them. It never seemed to be an issue with CDs. So are Blu-ray discs also prone to this type of cracking or just simply cracking over time because the hub has a strong grip?

Anyone know where to find UHD 4K Blu-ray cases for sale? I'm looking for a 3 disc UHD case to replace a cracked one I got.

[sapiendut]

Me too. Especially those foolish eco-cases.

Meritline has 10 12mm generic Xbox cases for $8.50 and free shipping today, in case that's of interest.

I would love to find some good 2-disc black or clear cases in that price range.

[Gojira5]

Does anyone know where to buy either clear or blue blu-ray cases that look like the vortex cases but are 12.5mm that hold a single disc? Like the kind of cases Aniplex of America uses for it's current releases.

[eladkse]

Anyone know where to get hold of 5/6 disc cases with this unusual embossed blu-ray logo? Have a couple from some box set imports from Australia, but can't seem to find them for sale anywhere.
