The Blu-ray Replacement Case Thread

Why does Valentine's Day have so many damn big name stars in it???

There are at least 14 household names just on the cover.

Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, and Anne Hathaway in the same movie. Wow. Add Megan Fox and I would own it.

I thought it was a decent movie and yeah a ton of stars in it.

That orange case would work well with the original Halloween release too. Too bad we're stuck with blue cases.

[mayorofsmpleton]

SCREAM would look cool with White/Clear boxes -- being that the print on the cover will likely be BLACK -- would make for a cool contrast. Ghostface-esque.

I am not sure if I want cases with different colors since most of the Blu-Ray cases are blue, it would look weird with 1 or 2 different color cases while the rest are blue but I do have to admit that Valentine's Day in pink looks cool even if it is too girly and the Halloween looks cool in orange

It's surprisingly not as jarring. I have "Whip It" which is in a GREEN case and it looks fine. It does stand out a bit but I kind of like it.

i like the clear criterion cases the best. anyone know where i can buy those in bulk?

She would be the reason why I would not buy it

My imported copy of Insomnia came today. It has one of those crappy 'eco' cases with the holes. Anyways, I'm looking to replace it. Does anyone know what size case I'd need?

I've measured it as 11mm, its a Viva Elite case but I'm not 100% on the size as I can only seem to find 12.5mm ones...

Can anyone confirm what cases they're using for this release?


EDIT: Also looking to possibly replace my Blade Runner 5-disc (fat case). Any ideas where I can find an exact match?

Not sure which size you need, but Amazon UK sells 11mm cases.

Blu-ray Disc Storage Cases - 11mm Spine

Yeah, I've seen that Amaray do 11mm cases for the UK. I was just wondering what size cases Warner are using from Viva Elite. In the case thread it only shows 12.5mm cases, although this one I've measured is closer to 11 than 12.5.

why is it so hard for us in the UK to get cases? 14mm Amaray are no problem, 11mm Amaray are no problem, doubles and triples are fine also. Anything above that and forget about it, Im looking for some 6 ways at the moment and cant find any at all. Does anyone have any help for us brits? Looking at all the USA sites, the prices are fine - but the postage is ridiculous to get them here so totally not worth it. argh!

[Simon_LDT]

Yep. I was looking at getting a couple from the US but it would set me back approx £7-8 just for 2 cases (I can buy a whole new release for that). Majority of that being shipping! Srange 'cos surely the weight wouldn't be that much, plus they're slim.

[squijee]

whats different between the single bluray cases on discmakers.com?

[primitiveskin]

Not that the OP is still being maintained, but for those of you who might be interested, U.S. Plastic has expanded its offerings to include the entire lineup of AGI Polymatrix/MeadWestvaco Vortex Cases, so you don't have to depend just on Vernon Library Supplies for these particular versions:

[sapiendut]

is the Vortex 4-disc BD case have the same thickness as regular BD cases?

[squijee]

i just ordered from discmaker and they charged tax on the shipping.
but atleast i got Viva Elite cases

[Kory]

Does anyone know if Viva Elite makes 4-disc cases the same width as their slim 3-disc cases? I don't know why they wouldn't, but I haven't been able to find any.

No. Vortex cases are thicker than those made by other manufacturers.

The reason that 3 disc case is smaller is because the two disc tray attachment is off center (on the left side of the spine as you open the case). The tray holds two discs and the right side also has a hub for the third disc. There just isn't room to put a hub on the left side of the case without causing damage to the Blu-ray discs.

[Malik True]

I have been wondering the name of the blu ray cases that's has a snap lock on the side. My Dragon Hunters & Righteous Kill Blu's came with these cases, the front of the case has a raised blu ray disc insignia. Is that a single Vortex case or the Viva Elite or neither?

Breotan's reply provides a valid reason as to why there simply isn't room for a fourth disc in a 12.5mm Viva Elite in response to Kory's original question. However, JeffW616's response is in reference to a characteristic of 12.5mm Viva Elite triples vs. 15mm triples, that was briefly discussed in another thread:

The standard U.S. market Viva Elite case is 12.5mm thick for capacities of 1 to 3 discs, whereas, the standard for cases with the same capacity in the U.K. and Australian markets is 15mm thick....

[Genocide316]

Anybody know where to get the 25mm elite cases (Lost cases)? My season 1 lost case is busted. Can't seem to find it at any of the vendors.
