Where is the best place to buy cases where the shipping isn't super high?

It depends on the case. If you're buying a lot, Casetopia seems to be a good option. The problem is it costs a lot to ship cases, given their size.

True enough that's what I figured. I've used them before but was hoping there was a cheaper shipping alternative somewhere else.

Sorry to bother poeple.....but I had a question that has been bugging me.

I store my blurays in Viva Elite 10 disc cases I purchased from Mega Disc. I noticed that most of the trays in these cases have a thin greesy-like substance/film on the disc tray. If I rub my finger down the tray, you can see the line where the substance rubs off. I guess I am concerned what this substance might do damage to my bluray discs over time....

Has anyone ever noticed this film on their bluray cases? Is this mainly a problem with cases made by Viva? Any ideas how to deal with it?

It won't damage your discs over time. What you're seeing is most likely residue from the mold release agent used.

I have to second this, I have, literally, hundreds of discs stored in various 10 disc sets. And going over my oldest sets recently, the discs play just fine.

I enjoy making my own custom art. And they save a lot of space as well.

Anywhere I can get about 10-15 Criterion cases for cheap? Also looking for some region-B "thick" cases, like the ones Arrow releases use.

Spotty · 07-10-2018, 01:06 AM

Thank you everyone for your comments! I figured the residue was probably from the molding process, but since there is not a lot of gap space between the case and the disc I wasn't sure if there was any negative interaction over time....

So thank you everyone for your comments! I am a big fan of these 10 disc cases because they tend to be good space savers!

That’s a Viva Elite.

If anyone had a single disc case that had the spine arms to insert the tray to make it a 3 disc case I'd take that as well and just transfer the tray over. Any help locating either of these types of trays would be appreciated.

I don't have an answer, but I'm jumping in and saying I also am looking for Arrow and Eureka cases. I have a few that have been damaged shipping to the US, but I don't know where to buy replacement cases. I've found the 14mm size, but the cases are different.

Anyone know if 14/15mm black cases exist anywhere ? With the regular bluray logo, not 4k ...

Thanks

Have anybody bought the 6 disc UHD case? Do you have any photo of it?

I hate to sound lazy, but I really don't want to search through a bunch of pages for an answer to this. How is the quality on the cases from Casetopia? Are they cheaper quality than you would get with an actual movie?

They are the same cases. Same quality. It's just that sometimes they're slower than they state the turn around time is supposed to be and you have to nudge them along. I would bet it's one guy or gal in a storage locker and they get overwhelmed with orders.

Hey there folks, question here:

I used to pick up and use the 10-pack Dynex Blu Ray Case they sold at Best Buy, but apparently they've ditched them entirely and aren't sold anywhere anymore. I don't know what the general consensus on those were, but I liked them well enough!

So basically my question is, which replacement cases would you recommend I should get now? I'd really appreciate any recs since I'm not a case-geek and just look for something sturdy enough and with smooth/taut/wrinkle-free plastic covers.

Thanks in advance for any and all advice!

Monterey Jack · 08-17-2018, 12:32 PM

Anyone know where I can get the thicker UK cases that Arrow releases come in? And also some 2-disc Criterion ones?
