Was wondering the same thing, someone told me places would sell them but probably 100 cases. I don't need that many, just wanted a couple. I'd like red for Kill Bill that someone posted before

Sleeve Town has this:

NEW! TRIPLE Blu-Ray DVD Cases - Our newest high definition case is the ideal solution for multi Blu-Ray sets using industry-approved dimensions and matched color standards. Push-button hub, literature clips, full sleeve for artwork. Snap Closure. Exclusive Blu-ray logo tells you these are the cases to use. 11mm thick (slightly thinner than a standard single DVD case). As low as $0.63 each in master cartons of 120!

Are these comparable to the Viva Elite 3-Disc cases?

I eagerly await the day I can get elite cases in 10 packs for reasonable prices at B & Ms.

showing what it would look like, yeah with a HD DVD case but with th bd logo. Which is besides the point. I was refering to having different colored cases that go along with the cover. Kill bill was just an example considering I had seen it before

Can anyone tell me which cases the studios use for their regular releases? Some say 5mm and 6mm and others say 12mm? I ordered a few import movies from Europe and their cases are wider, but which are the size used in the US?

Somebody is going to have to buy these and provide a scouting report. Currently, MeadWestvaco/AGI Polymatrix does NOT have a triple-disc 11mm Vortex case. Their sister triple-disc case from AGI Amaray is 14mm thick. From the sleevetown.com photo, the spine extends all of the way to the top and bottom. Vortex and Amaray cases have rounded corners for the branding bar, so the spine is squared-off and does NOT extend all of the way to the top and bottom. I mentioned in a follow-up post to the Plastic Blu-ray Disc Cases: What Sizes Are They & Who Makes Them? Thread (The Next Generation 12.5mm Double-Disc Viva Elite & Generic Cases) that a new generic triple-disc case appeared to be ready to hit the market, but the sleevetown.com case does not appear to be it.

hey guys, i'm looking for a bluray case for my supernatural season 3 set. does anyone know the correct case for it, i have no idea what size/type of bluray case it is.

[evophile]

Hey guys, sorry this is a DVD case question...

But does anyone know where to find clear amaray dvd cases? Like actually clear and not frosted. Some places say its clear but its the frosted type but I'm looking for actual clear.

thanks so much!

I was unable to find any information on the cases from Meritline, and in the absence of any negative reports, I decided to give them a shot. Below is a summary of my purchase.

Products Ordered:
153-368-050 (50 12mm Single Cases) for $12.50
153-369-010 (10 12mm Double Cases) for $2.80
Shipping/Handling was $11.08 (Fedex Home Delivery from CA to VA)

Meritline processed and shipped the order on Monday the 29th and they arrived Friday the 2nd. The box they shipped in was the original packaging for the single cases except the box originally had 100 cases in it and I only ordered 50. So they took out the top 50, put down a base layer of peanuts, added my 10 double cases, then filled the rest of the box with peanuts.

The first thing that jumped out at me when unpacking the cases was the lack of silver embossing on the Blu-Ray logos at the top of both cases. There's also no oval around the logo as can be seen on a lot of cases. It's just a slightly raised print on the logo and that's it. The single case has a small WZ22 inside at the bottom of the spine, while the double case has WZ29. Both bear recycling logos just above those with 5-PP markings, which as best I can tell, indicates that they're made of polypropylene plastic. There are no other markings to denote a manufacturer or origin.

The next thing that struck me as odd was that the singles are the variety that are squared along the spine edge, while the double cases have the rounded edges all around. I honestly don't mind one or the other, but found it odd that Meritline is selling two different types (and don't seem to offer the opposite types if I wanted them to match). The disc-release mechanism is also different between the two types, but after testing each with a number of discs, they both work well, so that won't bother me.

A quick perusal through the cases didn't turn up any obvious defects (wrinkled plastic, cracked covers, etc.) so they all arrived in good shape. I opened and closed half a dozen cases repeatedly and they all felt sturdy. All in all, I'm satisfied with my purchase, I just wish I'd paid attention to the images on Meritline enough to notice that I was getting two different case shapes.

[steve_99101]

ok so i'm getting my first batch of cases and i just want to make sure i'm getting the best deal. i am thinking about converting all my BD's to Vortex cases. after researching it a bit i believe Discmaker's has the best deal for these (25 for $13 shipped), can anyone confirm that or let me know if there is a better deal.

In my opinion, they offer the best deal per case than anyone else. They ship UPS Ground. I got my order in 2 days. If you ship before 4 pm eastern time, they ship same day. The cases are nicely packed.

If they ever start carrying the 2-disc Elites, I'm going to load up on those.

[steve_99101]

just ordered 100 Vortex cases from discmakers. this is my first order and decided to go ahead and do my entire collection in Vortex. for those that prefer the Elite cases i will have about 50-60 i won't need anymore so PM me if you would like to buy. most all were bought new.

[Atreyu]

Has anyone found a site yet that sells blu ray cases in colors other than blu?

[phoenix_81]

Hi, someone help me to find a European store that sells
"11mm MeadWestvaco Vortex" or "11mm Nexpak PremierPak"?


many thanks
