Not that I've seen. Goodwood eshop seems to carry the single and double UHD cases, maybe they might be able to get them for you?

The standard Viva case thickness in the US is 12.5mm and the only place I've seen the 11mm variant is in Europe.

Is that right? The ones I've bought from the UK seem to be the same size as the Mill Creek / Shout ones. I literally just replaced a couple of Mill Creek / Shout cases for 11mm doubles and they went back into the slipcases perfectly.

Kronenberg used to carry them and colored cases too, but I'm not sure if they still sell them. Some people have mentioned they had success via email and getting them to ship outside of Europe, although it's probably pricey, but they've never replied to any of my emails.

I would say the Finest Products Limited cases are closer, in terms of looks, to the Vortex cases then the Viva ones.

Where do do they sell Finest Products Limited cases?

The US has 11mm Vortex cases, but I've never seen the 11mm Viva cases used in the US. That said, I haven't seen the 11mm Viva cases used in the UK either; primarily Germany, Italy, etc.

These are slightly thinner than the ones we find in the US and the spine edges are more square than rounded.

I haven't found a place that sells empty replacement cases. The only ones I've seen to date are from official releases.

You're thinking of non-stacking 4 discs. They've always had 3 discs. I bought them from them forever ago.

I found regular 2-disc and 3-disc Blu-ray cases on Amazon for a good price and Prime shipping. Decided to go with Casetopia for the 3-disc 4K cases though since they’re literally the only place I can find them lol. It was about $10 cheaper buying from their website rather than their eBay store, so here’s hoping I don’t have to jump through a lot of hoops to get them to ship.

I just checked and you're right - the ones I've been using to double up discs are slightly smaller than the ones they came in. It's a tiny difference but it's there!

Just placed an order with Casetopia, shipping was $22 FedEx Ground...will be interesting to see when it actually does ship.

Yeah the order I placed last week hasn’t shipped, I just sent them an email so we’ll see if that gets things moving. If I don’t hear in a couple days, I’ll give them a call.

Emailing always gets the ball rolling with them.

Yup! Woke up to an email from them saying they shipped.

Now I still just need to find a place that sells the 12.5mm four-disc non-stacking 4K cases lol.

I’m almost tempted to buy a few copies of Logan or Deadpool 2, swap out the discs and covers, and try to resell them on eBay to make some of the money back since I really only need a handful of them. (This is starting to become an obsession lol).

Did we ever find neon pink replacement cases like the one for Mean Girls? Tempted to buy it for $10 just to harvest the case and sell the movie in a plain blu one.

[rexcrk]

Has anyone here used these or something like them? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001O...7ZB1OBXL&psc=1

Because I honestly think it might just be easier (and more cost effective) to use those rather than tracking down 4-disc 12.5mm 4K cases.

Yes, I have. Seems to do the job. Can't say how they will last in the long term as I've only started using them three months ago, but they are still sticking to the case.

I actually got my items shipped within 24 hours on my last order. Priority shipping was only about $1.50 more than regular shipping so I paid it. I feel like that had a hand in it.

Still haven't heard a peep from them, 3 emails sent so far. it was nearly 3 weeks ago.

[boringperson]

Sadly DiscMakers no longer carries Viva Elite BD cases. They claim that the price almost doubled for them and they have no plans to carry them again. Kind of a bummer.

[MattQuack]

Has anyone called Casetopia in following up on an order? I placed my order on 8.24 and haven't heard back from 3 emails and it still says processing.

I got the cold shoulder from them as well after ordering about three weeks ago. I figured I had waited long enough with ZERO communication on their part that I sent an e-mail indicating that I was going to get the Better Business Bureau involved. Within about two hours I got a response apologizing for the issue and then a separate e-mail with a tracking number. I'm pretty sure I don't be using them ever again after this.

[MattQuack]

Emailed threatening the BBB, no response still, also called their phone number and it rings to a voicemail that's full.

[sapiendut]

After pages upon pages of nothing but negative review of this company I’m surprised that anybody is still willing to order anything from Casetopia
