CheckOutStore has 16-Disc DVD cases, but the minimum quantity may not be what you're looking for.

Also any occurrences with cracked or chipped pieces or broken hubs, etc?

You occasionally see the suction cup marks on the cases and if you order a large amount (50+, box) on occasion some cases can come cracked.

Very pleasing to look at and doesn't have that cheap and flimsy look of common 4k case. Looks and feels very durable and sturdy

I believe these are cases from Finest Products.

Is there a source for the slightly thinner clear one disc Viva Elites that Arrow uses in some sets? Not sure if I need to return for exchange an otherwise perfectly fine set because the tabs are broken on 2 of 4 cases and the cases don't stay shut.

Is there a consensus for a good inexpensive replacement case on-par or better than Viva Elite? I know everyone has their preference, but I always found those cases to be pretty flawless. I've tried a bunch of the 'generic' cases from AcePlus on Amazon to PakPal and CheckOutStore on eBay... Haven't tried LDBMart or USDisc yet. They've all had their issues so far like some having a bend/curve to them or plastic nubs on the spines not getting shaved down entirely.. loose/wavy outer plastic.. stuff like that. I'm about to pony up for some genuine Elite cases but I'm so damn cheap.

Thanks, I already check them out, they don't ship to Canada. 😐

[DanFan]

I have about 50 Viva Elite 10 disc cases. Anyone interested? PM

Looking for a PURPLE single or double disc case if anyone has one or knows a place to buy one thanks.

[Lava_Lander]

Prince's GRAFFITI BRIDGE can be found on eBay with a purple case. Not sure if Amazon still ships in purple though.

Example here:

Does anyone know where I can get a Viva Elite 11mm Clear Single Disc case? Need to replace one in a box set and Arrow Video don't seem to stock them anymore.

[Horrorsmith]

I've been trying to find one with no luck. Got the Coffin Joe set from Arrow with broken clips in one of the cases. Arrow said they couldn't replace it as they don't stock them anymore and the Coffin Joe set has sold out. Got a £5 credit off them but still got a broken box.

I've added links for now. As far as I can tell these companies only ship within Europe?

RE: Cases for 7+ UHD discs...

You can find a few on eBay, but they don't come cheap (read: expensive,) last time I checked there were 3 up for sale (1x 8-Disc, 2x 9-Disc.)

While the seller does accept offers, it's most likely cheaper to buy the Predator 4-Movie Collection 4K and replace the 4K case with a regular 8-Disc Blu-ray case and then sell the box set.

I recently came across an eBay shop that has UHD cases in multiple sizes. I bought some 5- and 10-disc cases:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/204566776682?var=505152103890
https://www.ebay.com/itm/204589171307?var=505174801967

The product pages have the "Bulk Savings" options to buy "1 / 2 / 3 / 4 or more," but also have the Choose Quantity dropdown that produce a much lower price per case on multiples.

The cases arrived today and look as pictured on the site. They won't pass for Viva Elites, but for the price I'm content with them. Some differences from Elites:
- Corners are squarer
- Print on the 4K/UHD logo is bigger
- Clear plastic sheet on the outside feels thinner
- Flippers inside the 10-disc case have cut-outs similar to the front and back of eco cases (the cases themselves have no cut-outs)
- The flippers in the 10-disc cases don't swing quite as easily, especially for the last flipper (no problems getting to the 9th & 10th disc hubs, though)

One plus is that they have none of the film / residue that seems to be on most of the Elites I've bought lately.

Oh nice! I've been hoping to find more of those someplace - thanks for the review!

Does anyone know if Amaray discontinued manufacture of the 11mm 2-disc cases? They're by far the sturdiest and most reliable but I can't find sellers that still carry them. It seems only the 1-disc cases are available.

Also looking for a store that sells the Finest Products 4K UHD cases. They're very well made but I can't find them anywhere.

Do you have pictures of these cases, inside and outside?

This old Amazon listing has detailed photos of the Amaray case:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Ama.../dp/B0074KTPIC

The Finest Products UHD cases are made from a very sturdy plastic. They're unlike any of the other major cases sold in the US. The UHD logo is screen printed but the banner section of the case where it sits is slightly embedded. There's also a small lip above the UHD logo.

There's no branding on it otherwise. I only found out the manufacturer by looking up the patent printed in the case which Google then directed to a few posts within this thread.

Pictures aren't great but the hubs look like the ones found on the inserts in 3-disc Viva Elite Blu-ray cases.

[stmhlm]

I see, my Schindler's List (US) 4K came in that case (Finest) always wondered who made it, thanks for the info!

Does the 2-disc Amaray 11mm case differ anything from the 1-disc version in terms of sturdiness, in your opinion?

No. It’s just the addition of a hub on the left side.

I imported 100 from the UK in 2014 and hadn’t looked since. Everything I’ve found looks like stock started drying up a few years ago around COVID. It’s possible it was killed off during that time but hope I’m just missing something. There’s no really no other standard 11mm case like it.

[gobad2003]

Is their any place to get replacement 4k cases for my 88 film 2-disc case? These seem hard to find because they are the thicker UK cases.
