my point was that you SHOULD have both in your collections... take a "fox" or "universal" off your shelf and then take one of the ones with a side latch by Sony and compare the two... they are the 2 most common blu ray cases used by 99% of studios (except some of the smaller ones)

Ah I see now, I am kinda embarrassed I did not think of what you were saying to start with.

thanks a lot wormraper! BTW the Ebay seller just gave me a full refund, apparently they sell the silver logo cases as well as the other, someone mis-boxed mine so I just got 29 cases free of charge. And being that these are for my 25 Blockbuster movies I think I will just live with them, after all they are at least ~blu-ray sized cases. So now my 25 Blockbuster movies cost me $108 with brand new blu-ray cases.....not the best cases but 100% free.

free is always good

.... I don't like those particular cases you got either. It's not the hub or the squared edges (those don't mean crap to me) but they're a tad wider than elites (those you got are 13mm wide.... the ones that I really like are the ones from shop4tech which have slightly better hubs and are 12mm wide like viva elite's)

Member-38928 · 05-25-2011, 01:44 AM

Thanks again Wormraper, I just checked em out and its gotta be Vive Elite for any future BD cases needs that I might have, I can't stand that latch!

I like the thinner Viva Elites that are only 11mm wide; I've only received them with foreign studio releases though (Germany, France).

How about these 6mm guys? I wonder how the cover fit is?

They're usually too small for most of the covers although a few covers are small enough to fit.

I need to buy 1 single blu ray case (1disc style) and I'm in Canada.

any ideas what my best option is?

Kaisler · 05-28-2011, 05:25 AM

Anyone know if i anyplace sells "The Social Network" case. When i ordered mine and received it in the mail the edges were messed up. Any help would be great.

Why don't you just buy let's say 10 at once? That way you don't have to purchase another 1 or two later when you might need them again. But Casetopia is good. Not sure if they'll ship to Canada thoguh. Check out eBay and search for Viva elite or similar.

Anybody have the incredible hulk green blu ray case? I'll trade you a viva elite case for it

normail prices are
10 pack = $7.90
50 pack = $24.50
100 pack = $45.00
500 pack = $195.00

I need that style of case, but with a 2 disc. The only 2 disk I could see have the rounded edges.

Ray_Rogers · 05-30-2011, 08:08 AM

Is there a 2-Disc case for the thicker spined UK Amaray-styled case? Same spine thickness but able to have two discs. Instead of using CD-styled adhesive faced hubs for them might as well use proper cases.

Snicket, do you mean the Vortex which Sony always uses?

Not for blu-ray cases or accessories. From time to time they have discounts on duplication and replication services and hardware.
