FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

[a_ball001]

What a cool idea, thanks. Your collection is quite impressive, will be good once all the covers are uploaded. Now I just have to find someone here in Oz that sells doublewide DVD cases. Cheers!

[Arseen]

No problem.

Quick search found place in Ozzyland that sells clear 25mm spine cases:
http://www.dvdwarehouse.com.au/dvd-8-discs-case-clear-1943.html

25 mm might be problem with thich multi-lingual manuals, otherwise OK.

Found these ones as well.

Also wondering if you cold upload a pic of how a game sits inside one of these ( doublewide DVD case ) after removing the inner trays. I understand you remove the moveable disc holders but wht about the ones on either side? Thanks!

Hi Arseen, found an old game case (Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005) which has a 28mm wide spine but like I asked ealier how do you fit a cartridge in with the disc holders either side of the case. I tried putting a n64 game but it ends up with the case bulging. A sega master game barley fits. When you get time can you please show a pic of the inside of your doublewide cases (with a game)? Thanks in advance.

I use 27,5mm spine DVD cases and they only bulge if I have thick manual in there as well.
In those cases I also cut away the VDV tap on the fron and back.

I'll post pictures when I get home.

That'd be great. I'm thinking I might use VHS covers. I'd rather keep it uniform with the VHS cases not wide enough to accommodate NES games.

Any other places that sell these? Since I'm just starting I don't mind paying a tad extra to get them now from somewhere else - looks like I'd need 30-50 cases tops.

Racketboy.com sells them, but unfortunately they're over triple the price of MediaShelving (probably because they're in singles rather than in bulk).

I've seen them pop up on eBay occasionally.

anyone know where i can buy the new design ps3 cases with the security tag thing on the pop open part and the clips in the middle, im not buying on ebay where it costs like £25 for 50 when i could buy blue bluray cases for £13 for 50
also the website needs to accept paypal

Does anyone have pics of how to fit games (NES, SNES, 64) in a double wide dvd case? Especially since UGC are sold out

I use them, but pictures not really needed as you just rip the inner trays away and the games just go in there. Nothing holds them in place unless you use piece of foam to sandwich the game in place (I don't)
For over all look see:

Thanks! i was mainly wondering if anything held the games in. I'll buy a couple and try it out for myself. But your collection looks great! Thanks!

I don't wanna beat a dead horse, but I'm having trouble locating double wide cases for cheaper than UGC. Mediashelving (when in stock), sell about 100 UGCs for about $60 shipped (I think based on last time I requested a quote...)
The only double wide dvd cases I could find were these based on a google search:
http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?sku=3414
but shipped they're about $90 for 100. Plus they aren't the ones that Arseen showed a pic of earlier in this topic. These would require cutting, as they are used for PC games (Stacking cases). And I own some, and did cutting, and they work PERFECT, once cut. But not cheap. But If I get them cheap I'll post a tutorial how to cut these up to fit if needed.
I live on the west coast of the US.
Any ideas? Thanks
