God. I really wish they'd stock the 4 disc cases that don't stack for UHD

sapiendut · 08-26-2018, 07:43 PM

I don’t want stackable case. They will ruin the discs. That said, I’m surprised why nobody seems to make 4-disc, 6-disc stackable ones.

Removed Meritline from the list of suppliers due to their closure.

I was actually going to post a question about this very topic. In my infinite wisdom, I ordered some three-disc cases from Amazon which turned out to be too thick. I need about half a dozen or so three disc cases that are the same size as single disc-ones; I know they exist because I've bought some movies that come in them.

Casetopia cases the 12.5mm 3-disc cases.

When is someone going to sell vortex 4k cases? Not a fan of viva elite cases.
Sony usually used these but I've noticed they've switched to viva elite. Maybe they don't manufacture them anymore.

dommie · 09-09-2018, 01:44 AM

Yep. I used to go to Amazon but have been using Casetopia for a few years now as they seem to have the largest variety of replacement cases for Blu-ray and now 4K that I can find. I have also found that if they don't have something, you can suggest they carry it and they will find it if it is available.

What’s the minimum amount you have to order?

There's no minimum so you can order as little as one case.

randian · 09-09-2018, 07:38 PM

What case would be recommended as replacements for the atrocious disc-warping disc-stacker steelbooks used in the 4k Spider-Man Legacy Collection? It's 12 discs which logically split into 2 6-disc units. A source of replacement cover art would be great too.

That shipping though. Ouch. I got myself some for my discs, let’s see how things go.

They are a great company but yeah the shipping is painful. Know what's even worse though? The wait time for them to ship. They make Bill from Code Red look like Amazon Prime. I'm still waiting for my order to "process" from September 3rd despite having paid by pay pal. Never mind the fact that whenever it finally ships out it will still be another 5-7 days since they choose shipping methods that are somehow slower than media mail despite costing 5x as much.

hanshotfirst1138 · 09-11-2018, 11:16 PM

God dammit, I ordered one too few and can’t modify the order now. First world problems.

Whenever I place an order I always try to pick up a nice round number of cases leaving me with a few extras for the future as well. My order is usually something like... 10 viva elite singles, 10 viva elite Doubles, 5 Criterion style doubles, even if I only need a few cases. This order usually runs about $25 shipped which is more than I'd like to spend but typically lasts me for 2-3 months or so.

Archedamian · 09-12-2018, 11:23 PM

I ordered some cases from Casetopia a month ago and my order has been listed as "processing" for more than two weeks. What's the freaking deal? I just sent an email to get someone to push this thing along. I'm fairly disappointed in my experience with them so far.

They've gotten worse over time. I would assume it's one guy or gal that gets case shipments from their supplier and stores them in a Self-Storage locker and packs web orders themselves, and then gets inundated and can't keep up. Maybe they used to have help, but couldn't keep paying their salaries. That's what can happen to "mom and pop" operations.

If you Google Map their address, it actually comes up as a storage locker facility.

Ordered Sept. 3rd and still processing. I usually give folks 2-3 weeks before sending e-mails but it never fails to annoy the crap out of me that it takes them this long to even put an order in the mail.

MadJack · 09-13-2018, 02:16 AM

My recent experience with Casetopia:

Order placed 8/27, order confirmation email immediately.

On 9/6 (10 days later) I send a "what's up with my order?" email. Within a half hour I have a response saying sorry for the delay and a shipping notification/tracking number email. This was in the evening.

Order arrived 9/10. So all's well that ends well, but I did have to ask about it.

milo bloom · 09-13-2018, 02:26 AM

I'd only like get a few cases, is there any chain of stores that still sell cases? I'm in the Chicago suburbs. Stores like Office Max and Fry's used to have cases but have really cut back.
