SteelBook Protective boxes (25 Pieces)

[Trent AKA DoubleDown]

I'm just curious what people think are the best for Sealed Steelbooks with and without J cards that you are never going to mess with one you put them in the cover? I'm very happy with the SC3's from Steelbook Central for open Steels. I watched the Video the sleeves from Blu Steels are identical basically to the SC3's but do not look like a good idea for Sealed Steelbooks. I payed through the nose for 20 SCF1's from Steelbook Central for my sealed ones but they don't fit as perfectly as I would like or is it possible I'm being to picky? I only have about 40 steels currently but tons of preorders on the way and just curious what people are using for there own collections for Sleeves to use for Sealed Steelbooks w/ and without J Cards? I need to order more.

These sleeves from France are what I use on my sealed steelbooks. I will say that they do not work well with bad/loose shrinkwrap. They also didn't work on the latest Zavvi Disney lines that have those thicker slips that go around the front and back of the steelbook. But for the Asian steels and other sealed steels with tight shrink and not-so-thick j-cards, they work great! I've got the Koran Tangled with Full Slip in one of these.

If you do order some, they come in packs of 10 and the shipping is the same up to 8 or 9 packs. I think it was 8 when I ordered, so 9 made the shipping go up.

Examples:
**Fantasia is one of the thicker Zavvi slips that I was talking about and it didn't fit well. I think that's as far as I could get it. The rest fit fine

I finally tried to put my Blufans into the SCF1's from Steelbook Central and had mixed results. The Wreck-it-Ralph lenti would fit but not the slip. Same with UP. Faceoff could never fit because it has that bag on the outside you dont't want to toss because it has the Blufans sticker on it. World War Z no chance in fact it put a tiny tiny nick on the j card in the bottom corner, that is actually bigger than the regular releases when I took a closer look. What am I going to do with these that don't fit?
I assume a Jumbo from blu-steels would be way to big for now I just have some bags like the one that comes with the Face Off Blufans, I think there poly and reusable, got 100 of them for $10, but that isn't a permanent solution. Now I'm afraid when I'm putting them in I'm going to nick one Sigh. So you think the one's from the French site link will be a better try for some of the thinker Blufans?. There 3/4 closed and go in the side and it's always open on the spine while the SCF1's the top and bottom come open but you really close them. I prefer the 3/4 to ones I've opened but I'll try and buy a couple from the French store link see if they work. Though this would be so much easier all the Zavvi's I've bought that I kept sealed fit: Jackie Brown, Place Beyond the Pines, Frozen, ect.

I've got most of my Blufans in the French sleeves. Sealed WiR & Up (both kinds up slips), Oz lenti, Monsters U (both). Only thing I couldn't fit if memory serves is Rio and Face/Off. And of course none of the ones with the slipboxes like Jack Reacher and WWZ. I don't think they have a product for those yet since they are not very numerous.

My last 2 orders were like that. I had to open a case with Paypal last time, he was being very difficult about it.

I think I have a couple of the movie style for sealed SB's at home, I can send you one if you want to test it out before you buy them? Just PM me your addy.

T'was fun had by all. Think I've still got 120+ to work through. If I place an order now, I'll have them by the time I run out.

Well glad you got them, but sucks you had to wait so long.

[petedogg50]

My steel shells were shipped April 1st. Kai kept saying wait another 3 weeks. Now my 45 days is over. He stopped replying to my emails and pretty much stole $480 out of my pocket. Please avoid this guy. I can send you all the emails and the tracking. He acts like I am a pain because I want what I paid for. The last status on dhl is May 4th preparing shipment. It just amazes me how he sleeps at night. Just taking my money and I'm the sucker because I didn't want to file a claim. Now I called Paypal and they said it's too late, so my credit card is seeing what they can do. I'm just at a loss for words. It's like he kept telling me to wait till the 45 days was up and bam never replied to my last 2 emails and promised to send me 65 shells to hold me over. Never sent them or emailed me again. Unbelievably shady business.

Here's the updated tracking info below and my V for Vendetta and Mar's Attacks came smashed from zavvi. First 2 dented steels I have ever received from zavvi. Feels like a sign from God, saying quit collecting this stuff already.

I'm sorry to hear that man, sadly it doesn't surprise me. Every single dealing with him has been a problem, he doesn't know how to package them and they bust open on the way over. When you are shipping a 30 pound box it needs more than a couple pieces of packing tape, it needs filament tape or straps! Don't give up hope yet though, they might still show up, but I wouldn't expect them to all be there.....

That's where I got mine. Only dealer within US that i know of. Super good deal if you are in the US, bought enough to last me a while but may have to get some of the ps2/DVD protectors since they actually fit my blufans/kimchidvd lenticular steel books except for the height!

[Mikey is NSFW]

Has anyone ever used Movie style.com ? I ordered a couple of steelbook sleeves from them before and thought they worked pretty good.

i bought some G1 sleeves from them... no complaints but also not many options... but not the G2... ive been spoiled by the steel shells and am fearing what i will do once I run out due to the horrors of dealing with the guy... the last 2 GBs i was a part of were both problematic because of the german's questionable shipping/packing skills...

I love these things!! I ordered 25 and will probably use all of them! I didn't realize that I owned so many Steelbooks.

I have had no problem getting them to fit even my sealed Steels.
