Double Amaray case solution?

Beware they are advertised as fitting both Amaray and Alpha cases but thats not true. They do not fit the Alpha single case at all (the case won't close). They will fit the Alpha double but it is a close fit and a slight squeez of the closed case will disingage the hub on the add-a-page unit. They do fit the thin triple Alpha so here's a nice way to convert a thin triple to a quad case (I think it was the 'Outer Limits' 4 Disc Set that came with one of these, so you may already have one to look at). They will also fit the other multi disc Alpha cases so you can also stretch those to hold an additional disc.
They fit the Amaray case very well as long as there is not a thick booklet. I also found that they will fit a number of the other off brand cases out there. At 10 for 3 bucks, they're not a bad alternative.

I could defintly use these for some of my Pearl Harbor 5-Disc, I want to store the NG disc with it. I wish it fitted the double case better, I have a ton of those just sitting around & would love to alter them to triple status.
Maybe I overstated the double misfit a bit. They do fit It just requires a bit of care. It's that hard rounded portion of the hub in the Alpha cases that sits right on top of the trigger mechanism of the add-a-page unit when the case is closed. As long as you know not to squeez the case they're fine (it doesn't take much of a squeez either). It's not like you go around squeezing your cases but if your not aware of the fact you could do it by accident. The larger size Alpha cases have a bit more room so the hubs aren't right on top of one and other.
Has anyone tried the EconPak Slim Double by NexPak (the Amaray Company)? I don't really need the clips for the insert as I'm just looking for better cases for my E.T., etc. DVDs. This is what's on the Sleeve City website about them "...the same quality construction you expect from a respected American case maker with a much lower price. The EconPak features alpha-type hubs front and back for 2 DVDs plus a full clear sleeve for outside artwork. 5 1/4" x 7 1/2" x 9/16" No inside clips, no DVD logo. Black." And here's a LINK. Thanks in advance!
One thing though, when I received both of my separate shipments from them, both times the top and bottom cases were severly wrinkled from what I assume is the shrinkwrap they use to hold all of the cases together.
Yes! I ordered a bunch of these for my two disk sets. They are perfectly fine because, like you, I dont really want or need inserts.

I also used the tray for double sets in a single sized box. Species 1 & 2, City Slickers 1 & 2, Blair Witch 1 & 2, etc...
Not a bad way to do things I think. At 30 cents a tray its better than having to buy the already assembled single w/ insert tray at $1.50. I have so many single amaray cases from before it was the best choice for me.

I ordered some regular amarays, some double-alphas, some add-a-page inserts, and some triple alphas. I will post an update about how the add-a-page inserts work after I receive them.
