Hey,

Would anybody like half of these sleeves? I want to order them but I really don't need 100 of them. Let me know and we'll discuss shipping and all. Thanks!

I'd like some. I simply need to know if I can find these locally first.
How much are we talking though?

Like $10 ...cuz total's gonna be like 18, but i'll need to ship it to you, so I believe that'll work out. Let me know if that's okay with you.

These are a perfect snug fit for Blu-ray SteelBooks.

Don't get the resealable ones as they are too tight.

http://www.shop4tech.com/item1674.html

Having seen both, I prefer the cheaper bag from shop4tech. They are slightly different from each other.

bagsunlimited - slightly thicker and shorter and perfectly snug for Blu-ray SteelBooks, however the clarity is not as good. They are as transparent as Ziplok bags. They are also more expensive.

shop4tech - slightly thinner and taller, made for DVDs, but also fit Blu-ray SteelBooks very snuggly. The top has to be folded back and taped, but really look no worse than bagsunlimited bags. Their main advantage IMO is that they are very, very clear and transparent, much more so than the bagsunlimited bags. They are also much cheaper than the bagsunlimited.

Neither bags have a base. They are flat and when you put the SteelBooks in them, they have creases along the spine and bottom of the SteelBook, which don't look all that great if you shelf them like books.

They look really Bad on the shelf so what I do is I make the bases on those bags myself with scissors and some tape.

Yeah, I still think if they woulda just cut profit margins on their media they prolly coulda stuck around ... all the CCs I always been too the cds were always like 13.99 and up .... most of the time 14.99-16.99 ... jeez. They are getting them ALOT cheaper then that, if they woulda just sold them for 9.99 lots of cds woulda sold ... same with bds and dvds .. always ridiculous pricings compared to even BEST BUY!

Why would anyone like to lock his steels into one of these cases? Are you expecting an earthquake or are there any burglars around the house?

getting OT but I agree, ridiculous pricing......I think maybe they just got to big and forgot about the core. I mean take WM for example, the soft remodel every 5(paint and etc) and full remodel every 10 years. Thats what needs done to keep the store looking new and fresh. CC opened the store and essentially forgot about the core. Alot of the store had that 80s look from the brady bunch

It's a flat bag. You put a rectangular box inside and the bottom part of the bag now sticks out at the corners. To make a flat bag fit a box, you have to fold over the corner and tape it along the bottom (like gift wrapping a box). However, I'm not OCD enough to go to that extent.

Ayyyyye I see now. I thought she meant she cut the entire bottom off.

Yeah like it sticks out when you push it in. Doesn't really bother me either. It's more how you can't read the spine.
