OK... I just got the TV Series Booker (spin-off of 21 Jump Street) And I must say I absolutely despise the case they used. It is one I personally never seen before.. and hopefully will never see again. Granted this set is very cheap (I paid $9.17 for the set of 20 episodes)... but they should have done better on the case then what they did!

When you first get it you see what looks to be a normal (albeit wide) Keep case...



But when you open it you find 4 envelops (1 per disc) clipped into the case...





As you can see (I know barely... quick photos not my best work)... the envelopes is what clips into the the case instead of the DVDs on hubs. So if anything happens to the envelopes then the main case is not of much good. I know... how expensive could cd envelopes be? I am sure they are cheap... but I have never seen any in my area to buy them... plus I would prefer to have black ones to match the rest of the set... which I am sure will be much harder to find.

But that really not the point I am making... was such a choice really necessary? I personally would rather have something much more standard.

What do you think?

- Like the setup?
- It is ridiculous?
- Something else?

You are right... they do overlap. And yeah... the envelopes wearing out/ripping is a big concern.

I wonder how easy it would be to find an amaray case with place for 4 discs a little thicker then a standard case. I could just put this artwork in. It is maybe the thickness of 1 and a half standard (single movie) keep cases.

I guess it is a cheap case for a cheap set... but how much could a standard amaray case that holds 4 discs actually cost? I would think designing something different would cost more. 

Thanks... will check out both sites. But I really would hate to have to buy in bulk/... especially 50 at a time... is something I would seldomly need and no extra room for the storage.  So hopefully I can find a listng for just one... or even between 5 and 10 I would consider... but not 50!   

I just bought Wanted: Dead or Alive: The Complete Series at Best Buy for $21.99.  It came with 11 discs -- and was in a container similar to the one Pete shows -- with the discs in individual Tyvek sleeves.  I agree that I'd rather have a more substantial case, but I don't know of anything on the market that will handle 11 discs.

And, it was a pretty good price for the complete series -- less than the cost of one of the single season releases.  (Season 3 is OOP now anyway.)

i didn't find anything under 50 on the two. they do have a 20 pack of a 10-disc case (and saw soem 12 disc cases)

how about a 5 pack http://www.amazon.com/QUAD-DISC-DVD-CASE-PACK/dp/B001KMWOGA

then offer the other 4 up for sale/trade for others that buy this

*edit* though these ones do store one disc behind another, but I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find one to your liking and maybe be lucky enough for a single pack

Thanks! I am not sure why Amazon didn't come to my mind. What do I search for (Size?) for the slightly thicker (maybe 1 and a half thickness of standard) cases?

you can buy 4 disc cases pretty cheap online. I used to see single qty listings but now it seems mostly bulk. this one for instance is 50 http://www.meritline.com/meritline-14mm-dvd-case-4-disc-blk---p-20399.aspx

you can get them the size of a standard dvd case too.

supermediastore.com also has them. between those two you might be able to find a link to buy just one. if not they are out there (could check ebay as well)

and don't forget,, you still have to contribute the original case type for the main submission ..

that figures... I haven't bought seasons 2 on of Adventures of Robin Hood yet. I don't know if the packaging is any better... but I think I will just buy the complete series set to catch up. Would be cheaper anyway.
