Throwing away DVD cases?

[samiam]

Thanks for everyone's ideas. I am trying to get more uncluttered. I have around 250 or so dvds, and I don't necessarily care to display them, so am thinking about going the binder route. However, since the binders will be displayed, I was looking for some that would look good on a bookshelf. That led me to these two selections by Case Logic, available on ebags -



Koskin, $26.99



Paper/Cardboard, $15.99

They both hold 96 cd/dvds, the difference being one is made of Koskin, the other, some type of paper/cardboard. Koskin one is priced at 26.99, the paper/cardboard one is 15.99. Was leaning towards the Koskin ones, but 26.99 is still kind of pricey for me.

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with them, and if they would recommend them. I really like the Discsox as well, but at $1/sleeve, it's even more pricey.

Thanks for any input

I throw the plastic cases away, and keep the discs in these aluminum cases from Meritline...



They are sorted alphabetically and by genre. Each disk is labeled with a code that allows me to find it fast without looking at the artwork on each disc. The box art is stored in a binder with the same code and organization...




I have all of the deluxe boxset packages in storage should I ever want them. I just scan the art for big boxsets and print out a copy at the size I need it for the binder. It was a lot of work at first getting everything sorted, but now I have templates for all the labels and I can file a DVD away in about two minutes. As for someone stealing my DVD's, I am not worried about it. I would rather have a thief waste time carrying off my DVD's than find some of the other stuff I have.

Where did you get the binder and the sleeves that fit the dvd cover?
