I believe they use Vortex cases.

I know there's 6-disc and 8 disc version available. My Doctor Who Tom Baker Season 7 (Season 18) has the eight disc version. The most recent of the Sailor Moon blu-ray sets. (3 dvds and 3 Blu-rays) use the 6 disc version. Apparently 2 disc version exists, but i haven't seen those.

Are the vortex elite the way to go nowadays? Also is it just me or is Casetopias shipping insanely high?

[Network23]

is casetopia the only place that carries the cases that are closes-est to Criterion. Im making my own custom cases for the Godzilla boxset splitting the 8 disc to two 4 disc cases. they list only up to three disc for the criterions on their site but they have a 4 disc clear scanavo that looks very Criterion-ish. I emailed them Sunday for info if thats the case that matches criterion, havent heard back from them yet. From the reviews of casetopia is either great, OR domething really bad happedned to an order?!!

For anyone looking for Viva Elite 4K UHD 12.5mm 2-hub 4-disc "stacker" cases, I've so far found only one seller, and both the pricing and shipping are prohibitive for buyers outside of Australia:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLU-RAY-4K-...Y/162570275628

The listing calls it a "raised hub". There doesn't seem to be a consistent nomenclature for these taller hubs, and I can't find them listed anywhere else.

Does anyone know which type of cases Disney is using now for blu-rays? They no longer look or feel like the Vortex, and they lack the side latch.

Hey primitiveskin!!!

Thanx so much for this Thread! I just ran into it accidentally.

Since i live in a One-Bedroom Apt in SF with my Wife, and have VERY limited room for Shelves, we use the "Viva Elite Double Disc Slim Blu-ray Case 6mm" for our Double BR Sets.

I noticed the link you provide is no longer functioning. Do you know if they're still in Business?

Thru Amazon, lately they have almost doubled in Price over the last 2 years. August, 2018 I got them for $12.00; April, 2019 thru December, 2019, $19.99; Now they're $21.95.

I found them here, but haven't ordered any yet:

You know anything about these folks?

Im still trying to get info from Casetopia on the Scanavo 4-6 disc bluray cases that match criterion. It took about 3 or 4 email to get any reply, and then when i did they asked me questions instead of giving answers. So far the things im reading about them is hit or miss. I might just go with Checkoutstore because ive delth with them in the past, and what i kinda want is in stock, with free shippping and no tax to my state

Why are there no high quality PC bluray player programs out there (unless im bad at looking)? I was unsuccessful in getting vlc to play bluray. Currently using leawo which is ok but the selection screen doesnt work which is a pain when watching tv series.

This is so frustrating. I really want to support my favourite shows but when i cant 'play it' what's the point.

Anyone knowledgeable is this area have some advice for me?

Encryption and licensing... if you want ease of use and trouble free playback then you might want to look at WinDVD or PowerDVD, both paid programs.

Hi all. I recently picked up a copy of Firefox/Heartbreak Ridge but the case is terrible and I'd like to replace it. It has the Elite logo on it and I reckon it's 11mm, and of course is a face-to-face double. It's one of the cases with the big cut-outs in the front and back covers. Question is, will the insert fit in any 11mm case from any manufacturer?

[patlock]

Thanks, I've needed to replace a six blu-ray case for quite some time now.

Screw ebay just go to main store. They have gotten much quicker.
Been ordering from them over 10 years. While slow sometimes a quick email usually fixes that.

Excellent customer service if there is evrr a crushed case.

This may be heinously late but i found out on accident that they might be made by Amaray. I got Beavis & Butthead on DVD awhile back and even though they uses a unusual 15 or so mm 6-disc case, the hubs were practically identical to those kinds of cases (they also disclosed they were made by Amaray). I understand that that particular set also uses Epik Pak as well but the one i have used 2 of those weird 6 disc cases.
