| Anyone have experience with PlayStation 3 Replacement Cases? |

Been ordering cheap PS3 games off eBay and a few need new cases. NEW official ones are hard to come by now so im looking at alternatives. There are a couple different kinds of clear knock offs. One looks way different and these look similar to OEM. http://megadiscstore.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=315 Their transparency seems slightly different to OEM cases though. Anyone have experience with the above cases? How does the "clearness" match the OEM cases? And then there are 2 kinds of black cases. Matte and glossy. The glossy ones (that i can find) are way to expensive import into Canada so i am only really looking at the matter ones. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-10-Pk-14-mm-Black-Media-Storage-Box-Blu-Ray-PS3-Holder-PlayStation-3-Case/182093362340?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 I actually think black looks pretty cool but it would look really out of place next to mostly clear cases. So my OCD would force me to do all of them. I cant find many pics of them to see how they look but i found some in PS3 collection vids. Would suck for the few games that have art on the inside of the insert though. And then there are 14mm blu-ray cases. I actually like the idea of putting ALL my PS3 games in blue cases but the white Blu-ray logo kills it :( What are your thoughts? :P |

Haven't ordered them in a while, but these are near identical to original PS3 game cases (or they were when I last purchased them)... http://www.casetopia.com/PS3_Clear_Single_Disc_Blu_ray_Case_14mm_p/ps3c.htm |

Same ones i linked :P They are slightly different but mostly i think the transparency might be a bit off. This is based on a picture i saw with one and an OEM case next to it, that I cant find anymore :( heh Could i trouble you for some comparison shots? :D |

Sure. Just so happened to have a couple left after switching my games to DiscSox sleeves. Original case on the left vs CaseTopia case on the right. Original case was from game purchased on Amazon this past Christmas and literally just now unwrapped to take the pictures. CaseTopia case was purchased about a year and a half or so ago and been sitting on a shelf since. Another pic. Original case on the bottom vs CaseTopia case on the top... Taking a real close look, the replacement cases might be a tad more opaque in nature, but once you have a cover in there, you really can't even tell. I can attest that the plastic used is the same top notch quality as the original case. Not one of those thin, cheap, easily warped crap you get with a lot of replacement DVD and BluRay cases. Of course, do keep in mind that the last batch I ordered was a while ago. Gonna be hard to find real good PS3 game cases anywhere anymore as they were pretty much a one off (ie not DVD and not BluRay size) and just not in demand enough anymore for manufacturers to make a whole lot of them still. Personally, I've been very pleased with any of the cases (both game and DVD) I've purchased from Casetopia over the years. At one point I literally had my entire DVD collection housed in them. |

Thank you! ;D I'll buy 50 (only need 3 lol) while they are still available here in Canada :D EDIT: Dang the ones they sell now are slightly different. Manual clips are different and blue-ray logo in a diff spot. I'll just grab some any way hehe http://megadiscstore.ca/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=315 |
