The Blu-ray Replacement Case Thread

[Illest Villain]

There's a site that sells 7-disc cases but they're located in Australia

[norm3]

Where can I find a replacement case for my 7 disc Star Trek case? The darn thing fell apart.

Retail replacement Blu-ray cases for beyond six discs are still rare. If cost is not an issue there is discussion in this thread for a source in Australia for a seven disc case. Fees and insurance will add at least $27 AUD to the price.

Yeah, and it stinks!

I just received my import of the UK version of the complete series of Friends, and I LOVE the 10-disc cases that they used for the seasons. I wish those were readily available.

Have 2 disc PS3 cases started popping up anywhere yet? I know they're out there because several of the new PS3 "collections" releases are coming in them (I know inFAMOUS and God of War for sure). Is there anywhere you can buy them yet? I haven't been able to find them anywhere.

Casetopia has a great selection of cases. They have 1-6 disc cases of Elite and Vortex styles. They also have the clear Criterion cases.

I have a few three disc movies in Viva Elite cases which I have come across a fourth disc for. I want to add that disc to the set while still using the original artwork and slip covers.

Any thoughts?

I'm thinking this may be their eco 3 disc case solution as the plastic is very flimsy and thin.

I've been making my own combo packs for awhile now and had the same problem with the slipcover no longer fitting when It went to 4 discs. I was using a 4 disc case and not the slipcover. I too bought some of the triple packs from Walmart. I changed the 1 disc inside tray with a 2 disc inside tray from a viva 3 disc case and it worked. I was afraid the case wouldn't close with 4 discs inside, but it does very easily. I think it's a perfect solution.

Here are some photos.

The trays line up almost perfect. I snapped each one in the other ones case.






The pic makes it look like it's bowed at the top but it's not.

That looks great! What kind of triple packs at Walmart have these cases? Are they the triple feature blu-rays?

Yes, they are the triple features with the white border that says "own the moments".
Walmart had them on Black Friday with a "promo" sticker on the front.

Looks like this.



Walmart also has the triple packs with a gold-ish border that says "own the moments".
I don't know if the inside is the same on these.

Thanks! I know what to look for on my next trip to Walmart.

You good Sir are a god among men.

So the 3 disc cases from discmakers are the same size as a standard Elite correct? If so then I need to go to WM and pick up some of those ones you mentioned and order some of the 3 disc from discmakers. I dislike how Disney has gone the stacking route.

So, where exactly do you get the 3 disc cases that hold a disc on each side of the case, with the 'flap' holding one disc? I'm interested in getting some of these and swapping the tray out from an elite 3-disc case to make the 4-disc case.

It seems that Fox/MGM is starting to use them. I recently bought Firefly:The Complete Series and Modern Family: Season One from FoxConnect and they both came with these cases. I made the Firefly one into a 4-discer and stuck Serenity in there. I'm not sure if any website is selling these yet, though.

[Dynamo of Eternia]

Is there anything inside of those cases indicating the brand/manufacturer?

They're Viva Elites.

Ordered a case of 100 1-disk Viva Elite cases from diskmakers.com for $43.00 shipped. Really happy with them. You can tell they are made with a bit less plastic then the original generation cases, but there are no cut-outs or even indented recycle symbols in the case. Probably will be getting another case. Now if only they sold them in black...

Hmmmm interesting. I hope this doesn't mean the older versions are being completely phased out.

Yeah, like Donat96 said, both cases are Viva Elite. The clips on the inside spine that hold the trays are exactly the same.

Good point. If these are the new Viva eco 3 disc cases, they might stop making the older style. Think I will order some more from Discmakers.

I'll do the same in a few weeks. Between Christmas shopping and going overboard buying things for myself with the recent black friday/cyber monday deals, I'm waiting until my next billing cycle.
