Memorex Cool Color Slim DVD Storage Cases 25PK

I have used these for years. I used to purchase them from Best Buy, then Radio Shack and Office Depot, but they keep being discontinued as the few remaining retailers seem to turn into "Smart Phone Stores". Now even Memorex themselves have stopped selling to the public. The best thing about these cases are as follows:1. They take up half the space as regular cases and protect the DVD well. If one happened to be on the floor and a hefty adult came by and stepped on it, the DVD inside would likely be undamaged, and even the case would probably still be OK. (Try doing that with an audio CD jewel case!)2. They are excellent for color-coding,using a particular color for a certain TV series or type of program. (Purchasing color coded labels from your office supply source helps even more.) The colors make DVDs easier to locate. For example,it will be easier to locate the documentary on rain forests if you know you put in in a green case. (The one on ocean life might be in a blue one and the episode about our sun in an orange case, you get the idea!) The worst thing about these cases:The quality seems to vary quite a bit. This batch: so far so good. Sometimes you get a bunch with transparent sleeves that aren't connected properly and occasionally a cover that won't close. One more note regarding color-coding...Pick up at least one package of the CLEAR slim cases; that will give you one more color variety.

these cases used to be available at my walmart and were, to my dismay, discontinued. i order 2 packs at a time to qualify for free shipping. the cases are sturdy and stay closed well. i prefer this brand because i enjoy the colors. i'm sure they could be utilized to organize one's collection, but i have yet to get that organized. they are sturdy and well-made. as for other reviewers' complaints on the hub, i discovered a few years ago when i first purchased these that the disc cannot just be snapped in place from the outer edge like a CD--besides, as another reviewer posted recently, this is actually bad for DVD's (which aren't made the same as CD's). one needs to actually lay the dvd in place, then press the tab clearly marked "PUSH" in the hub of the case, which flexes a little and pops thru the DVD. i have never in several years been sold a single defective case, and i love these. i regularly purchase them and replace the cases my dvd's come in, cutting my dvd storage in a little less than half and yet preserving the cover art and feel of the purchased DVD. to do this, one can slide out the paper insert from the original dvd case, carefully cut a thin strip from each side of the insert, and slide it into a thin case; by doing it this way (taking a little from each side), one can assure that the title will remain visible on the spine. some titles are a little too wide but enough is visible to enable me to tell what each dvd is.

I have limited storage space for what my kids tell me is an unnecessarily large DVD collection. (They don't seem to buy the explanation that I have a significantly longer history of watching movies than they do and therefore require a large and varied movie library.)Replacing the original DVD cases with Memorex slim cases essentially doubles the storage space available. The cases are sturdy and actually much less likely to get squashed than the remarkably flimsy cases currently being used by distributors for most new DVDs.Granted, if you want to use the cover art from the original case, it requires a bit of surgery -- about one quarter inch reduction in the width of the insert. That can be achieved by carefully folding the excess on one end or folding it equally on both ends -- or you can just snip it off and slide that cover art right into the slim case cover. If you gauge it just right, the spine of the slim case will display the movie title or at least part of it. I am told this reduces the resale value of the DVD but I don't have them because of their resale value. It doesn't seem to affect the quality of the DVDs when I watch them and watching them is why I have them.As for the DVDs falling out of the slim case when it is opened, I have never had that happen. Once the DVD is snapped onto the hub, it stays there until someone releases it. This is a sturdy, space-saving case, available in "Cool Colors" or, for the more conservative collector, the more boring but just as well-made "clear".

They are great. I got them as replacements. I had ordered some before because I have complete set of a western that came in a box that didn't last very long. These are sturdy and not bulky. The pack I order is reasonably priced.

I bought these because our video library was getting very large and we needed my space to add more DVDs. These are so much slimmer than the jewel cases that held most of our DVDs--thus we were able to add more DVDs to our library.The only con I have found with these DVD storage cases is not with the quality, but of the price. My husband ordered 100 of these same cases, but in black, and he says he only paid the same price I did for 25 DVD storage cases I bought. Since we each have our own accounts I don't know where he found them on Amazon or I would have ordered those instead. So if you need a large quantity of storage cases, and you don't mind not getting colored ones, I would so some research on Amazon and look for those instead.

Transferring a lot of my VHS tapes to recordable DVD and enjoy being able to color coordinate. Secure closure and the inside circle holds the disc without being difficult to release. Would buy again and they look sharp on display

This is my 3rd set of Memorex cool slim dvd storage cases. The other 2 sets are slim clear. On a couple of these the clear film on the outside is detached (so far). I hope that the rest of them are fine. Other than that no problems!

I used to be in the business of transferring good music vinyl records to dvd's as well as taping movies from the tv then transferring them to dvd discs. As a result, I have a huge quantity of recorded programs. I have to go through every disc and see if it plays ok. If it does, then I keep it, placing it in one of these covers. They are very, very handy.

This is an excellent product. The colors are exactly as shown, the spindles hold well and the cases close firmly. They fit my movies exactly. Thank you.
