Unfortunately not, the only blufans I own is WIR.

I am looking to buy a few since I have over 61 Steelbooks, but I am not sure wich ones are the best + cheapest? Is anyone able to help me out. I've looked on Steelbook Central and on http://www.blu-steels.com/SteelShell but maybe someone has any other ideas?

Thanks!

I believe the ones from France are the cheapest when dealing with a low quantity after shipping has been applied. I can get 80 shipped to USA for around $0.75 cents a piece. Everyone else is close to $1.00 for that small an order. I'm sure that cost would be cheaper to you since the shipping (I assume) would be lower.

However, they just sent out an email saying the new designed sleeve (that fits sealed steels better) is running low of stock and will be OOS soon. They will be selling the older model that fits opened, naked steels better until they get some more of the new ones made.

Thank you, I'll have a look!

I got 20 for $1.60 each shipped from Tony at kimchiDVD. The same ones they include with steelbook orders. Very nice, but the K packet shipping took forever.

casperuk · 01-10-2014, 06:23 PM

I've used the sc3 from steelbook central recently. They fit sealed steelbooks and opened blu ray armary cases with sleeves really well. But opened steels with no j card/slip is very loose and it makes stacking them hard as the.plastic becomes slippery.

One good thing is the fact each side has a cut out so you can pull out the steelbook really easy.

All the ones that have been included in my Kimchi orders have arrived terribly scratched up. They look like they've been used for years or something. Perhaps ordering the pack keeps them better than if they're just thrown in the box naked?

Also, I don't like that they say "KimchiDVD" on them. They should leave it blank.

80 for $61.82 after conversion, so around $0.75

sycro · 01-21-2014, 10:53 PM

Got 80, and got all of mine moved from bags to the sleeves (except the Monsters Inc Jumbo is still in a bag), and now I only have 1 left

Should have ordered more.....
