Available from CheckOutStore (http://www.checkoutstore.com/PREMIUM...-p/brcases.htm), these 7mm single-disc slim cases appear to share nearly all of the same design characteristics as the "Six-Ribbed" 12.5mm Generic singles or doubles that can be obtained from Octave (refer to the original post). And when I say that these slim cases share nearly all of the same characteristics, I really am talking about ALL of the same design features.

If you haven't already clicked on the link above to look at the product photo...don't worry, I'll wait until you take a gander...you may be disappointed that the cases do not appear to have been pad-printed with the Blu-ray Disc logo and symbol. However, to make up for that omission, you should be relieved to know that the manufacturer has not skimped on the feature that no self-respecting BD case can do without...booklet clips...that's right, booklet clips...in a...7mm case!!!

Slim cases are really...thin. They are basically designed to fit...one disc...and not much else. There are 6mm Viva Elites that can store one or two discs, but they don't include booklet clips because...well...the case probably wouldn't properly close if you tried to jam something else in there besides the BDs. Regular DVD slim cases are also 7mm thick...and you know...the ones that I've seen are also sans booklet clips. So, somebody out there in forum-land may need a slim Blu-ray Disc case with booklet clips, but to me, they're just superfluous nipples (my apologies in advance, should any of my fellow forum members actually have superfluous nipples of their own; my mockery is not aimed at you, just at these cases!!!).

I like the thin ones... I could put every disc in one and make my own covers... Ditch the digital copies.... Maybe one day when the studios rerelease everything on blu-ray they will have the movies and ALL the extras on one disc. And the artwork won't be messed up with Digital Copy banners all across the top....
