(5 out of 5)The best DVD Cases ever?
They are thin and take up the minimum amount of space.
They are flexible and don't shatter like jewel cases.
You can see through them if your DVDs have labels or writing on them.
You can write directly on them with a Sharpie type pen so if you make your own home DVDs you don't have to write on the DVDs at all and risk what might happen long term with the pen ink chemicals interacting with the DVD layers.
And, they're designed not to damage the DVDs.
I've ordered lots of these. They're great!
(5 out of 5)Perfect!
I love these cases. I bought one set to try out thinpaking my DVDs, and then ordered 4 more to do the rest. I currently own 157 DVDs, and so far I've moved 97 over to these cases (the rest are mostly box sets or already thinpaked). Its very easy to adjust the covers to fit these thinner cases, just trim about 1-2 mms from the two sides, then slide it in. I recommend using a straight edge blade with a ruler or other straight guide to get the best results. Every new DVD I get will immediately get moved to these cases in the future. My entertainment center is no longer double stacked and looks much neater!
(5 out of 5)Great Cases!
I love the flexible clear plastic.
Excellent spindle design - great preservation of the discs - the little push button doesn't require you to pry the disc out.
And these slim lines take up far less shelf space.
You can put your title pages inside, or these cases have outer sleeves that you can put covers in as well. You get the best of all worlds.
If you use the outside sleeve, no precise cutting is required. Cut your title page to major dimensions, insert the label, fold it closed - you have a nice crease created, and if you print things correctly (takes a little time to create a proper template but worth it) you can get labeling on the spine (line it up well before the first closing). This will allow you to make your title pages out of card stock, not having to pay extra for "DVD Case Insert" packages.
Would recommend these over any other cases out there.
(5 out of 5)excellent quality and application
I tried this out to slim out my collections which has grown too unweildly, like many others here, I'm sure. :) What I really like about these besides the slimness is the how it locks. The case lock is really simple, with two clicks in the corners and slotted grooves along the edges. I'm fine with this as opposed to those that have the additional hinges which flip over the edge. It's not guvmint secrets being locked away. I've dropped these by accident, and from the normal waist height, it didn't pop open. That's all you really need.
As for the inside locking. I like this one very much as well since it is easy to utilize. There is the ubiquitous circle in the middle, but on the right side, when you push down the center, it's like opening a box and the center edge is moved away, and the disc is free to be removed. Otherwise, it stays in nicely.
I've transfered my normal dvd sleeves into the slim ones by shaving off 1/4 in off the left and right. The full width is 10.5", so you can play around on your own to which side of the dvd sleeve content you want to keep. Bear in mind though to keep the titles on the spine, you have to let the spine be b/w the 5" and 5.25" mark.
If anyone wants to get me some as a birthday gift, aug 13th, feel free to click on my wish list. :) The clear ones though, as I don't know why the coloured or the black ones are more expensive. It doesn't matter, I've got sleeve artwork and inserts for them, and for the ones I use for my productions, the clear ones allow additional space for info and artwork around the disk edges.
(3 out of 5)DVD cases are not all the same
For some reason Memorex seems to be producing/selling two different style DVD cases. For most of us, the simple center clip fixture which most cheap/junk cases now feature are the plague. They are difficult to lock the DVD into and tricky to dislodge. Most people break them after only a few tries. The "old" style (found in most pre-recorded feature film DVDs) have a multi-spoked wheel which centers the disc and fastens it at 3 to 5 different locations around the middle. The clear slim double cases have the prefered "wheel spoke" hub while the singles have been coming with the center clip style. LOOK BEFORE YOU BUY. Personally, I have become very cautious in my purchases from Memorex which is a shame because I use to trust them blindfolded. Memorex... are you listening?
