I just purchased 2 cases of 30 from a seller on eBay for $12 each (case) with free shipping. These are the new style 'Amaray' (the ones we all love). Evidently they are from a chain rental store. Each case has a cover insert and inner insert for the Britney Spears movie 'Crossroads' but the cases are in perfect condition with nice tight clear plastic overlays. Thats $12 for 30 cases, not bad at all (the best price I've ever found). I just ordered 4 more cases.
Looks like he has about a dozen more (cases of 30) listed .

It is a good deal, but I don't buy that many snappers. 30 would last me a year, so I would only buy a case. If they were double Amaray then I would order a whole slew of them.....
Good deal though especially with the free shipping.....!

johnf14, that's an awesome deal, thanks! At that price, I can justify replacing keepcases that aren't quite as nice as Amarays but still ok... 
Count me among those who unsuspectingly received the old style Amarays from Inetdvd and was none too impressed, although it doesn't sound like it's anything they have control over.
darthvong, are you looking to have your site be a permanent resource, either in place of or in addition to, DVD Cover Art and the like? Just curious what the emphasis will be as far as sharing work and prior cover requests when Matt gets his site back up. At any rate, an overall forum should be much better than a single thread like this for keeping track of request status (statii?)...
edit: Beyond what's shared in your FAQ, of course.

What do you mean by "old style" Amarays?
It was news to me, too...

Chris,
I've got over 700 titles in my collection right now. I have this thing for uniformity so I started using the Amaray cases on every single disc I own.
If I receive a new disc that has a keepcase cover that was wrinkled by those rotten security stickers it's replaced. All Alpha, spider or any of the other (now legion) type keepcases are also switched over to 'Amaray'.
I buy more discs than I keep so I use the Alpha and other oddball namebrand keepcases for the titles I sell on eBay (the ones I couldn't resist buying but have since decided I will not watch again).
Now, of course, there are about 150 snappers I'm in the process of converting and each of those will require a nice new Amaray. As you can see these $12 cases were a very nice find. Especially since the newer Amaray cases are in short supply.

They're both good cases but I think the newer Amaray is better (IMO). I haven't been able to buy the new style in months now so this eBay find was a welcome one.

Hot out of the oven!!!
Here's a couple new conversions. The first 'This Island Earth' is a snapper conversion with a bunch of junk logos removed from the nice original poster art (with as little alteration as possible), UPC seal removed and the spine rearranged. The second "Daughter of Dr. Jeykll' is a redesign of the very ugly (IMO) original. The original poster art is resized and centered with some ugly logo's removed. The spine layout and blue surround area are my addition.============

New Friday the 13th covers
Hey, whatsup everyone! I have made a whole set of Friday the 13th custom covers! 
and heres what they look like when they are all side by side
To view them all go here
And if you want 300 dpi versions just email me.
I am currently working on getting the alternate poster arts for parts 5 and 8 and the original logo art for the spines of jason goes to hell and jason x. I made these covers for the completists out there who love uniformity (like me).
(By the way, for those of you who are wondering, all of these were done with the COMPLETE permission and support of Lafe Fredbjornson, the guy who did the paramount style covers)

I have spoke to Matt regarding this and he's all for it. I told him that I'm not trying to replace DVDCoverArt, just supplement it.
And as long as I can manage it my site will be permanent.
I'm trying to implement someway to minimize or limit bandwidth usage of downloads. If I can do that then I will take submissions for posting like Matt did. I don't want to end up shutting down because of heavy usuage like DVDCoverart did.
I do have some covers other than mine on the site. Also if its a case of the artist has the storage and bandwidth, but doesnt have a site. I'm more than happy to post a pic with a link to the actual file for downloading.
I want to make my site a good suplement to DVDCoverArt once it has returned.
So please feel free to join my forum and post as much as you like there....
Thanks,
Chris

I thought covers for those would be cool with just the logos.
The black and gold embossed Bat-emblem for the first one.
The snow-covered one for Batman Returns
The Bat-emblem in purple and green with the question mark for the third
And the bat/robin emblem for the last one...
If you can pull that off, those would be awesome!

By the way were you able to download the 'OUTBREAK' cover?
