Transfer your discs and artwork to DiscSox sleeves. Toss the blue cases. Problem solved.

The Criterion cases are the same as regular PS3 game cases.. I guess I've never really cared.. but blu-ray makes sense in blue cases to me. Those custom cases do look good tho. Not sure I'd ever buy them.

I love them, thought they were a huge improvement over DVD cases. Think of how much vertical shelf space you could save with all Bluray cases in you collection. If I could ever figure out how to print good quality covers, I'd even consider moving some of my DVDs (especially snapper cases) over to the smaller Bluray case.

I've got a couple hundred Blu-ray and HD DVD cases sitting in my room since I moved the discs to sleeves. Anyone want to buy them?

Add one more for liking the smaller case size. I get miffed when a release comes out that's in a case with a different height (Apocalypse Now).

Love the old SG-1 cases, I find I have a strange nostalgia for things like that and don't have any interest in updating to slimmer versions.

I actually find it annoying when studios use something other than the blue cases now because they're harder to replace.
This. I also love the slimmer, smaller profile. I just wish they stop with those awful Eco cases.

Very pretty. How can someone call those ugly?
