Default Dual, Triple and Quad Bluray Cases???

Wasnt sure where to post this. This is a type of hardware though just not player hardware (thats my thinking anyway).

Im wondering about dual and triple disc bluray cases. Ive had no luck finding anywhere to purchase these. The duals are easy you can just use the sticky hubs. But what about triples?

The reason I ask is I have the Directors Cut of The Kingdom of Heaven (4 disc set). Ive ordered the TKoH bluray DC (which has no extras). I want to keep disc 3 and 4 of the DVD set and include it in my bluray version. But since I cant find any triple or quad br cases Im not sure what to do. I guess I could make it a two case set lol. Print out a cover and use another case with a sticky hub. Seems gay though.

Anyway anyone seeing anything like this out there?

Use a triple dvd case?

Yeah ... I know, I know ... that means all the blu cases won't be level!

At least that would be a stop-gap measure until such cases become available (uhh, if they're not already), or they double dip w/ the extras.

Oh, maybe email one of Viva's Canadian offices, see if they'll help you out/point you in the right direction?

edit.
Huh? I thought someone had replied before me Viva contacts

Yeah not going to go the DVD case route. I can always double up the bluray case with a sticky hub thingymabober.

Yeah Ive already been in touch with Viva waiting on a response.

I suggest you buy a movie like blade runner and then take the discs out of the case and sell them on ebay. Thats what I did when I bought Zodiac and MI: 3 from Hollywood Video, I needed a 2-disc HD DVD case so I bought two extra copies of Clerks II since it comes with a 2 disc case and then sold off the extra copies of it.

This is the only site I've found. I suppose you can contact them directly, because there's no order button on the page.

They look more like a manufacturer than a direct-sales outfit. Maybe they can point to a retailer. Or, if enough members are interested, an order could be put together.

Well I might of found a supplier from overseas. That can supply me 2, 3, 4, 5 disc cases. I contacted Viva and they were no help. But I was able to get in contact with someone else that thought they could help me (same Viva case).

I'm looking for these 3-4-5 disc blu-ray cases as well. Honestly when I read your post I was dumbfounded because I have the exact same movie in both versions (Kingdom of Heaven) and wanted to do the same as you.
Since I couldn't find a 3 disc case, I just kept the 4-disc SD DVD set and the 1-disc Blu-ray separately. But I'd really like to keep it all together.

Any ideas of what you would do with the first 2 discs of KofH (the SD DVDs of the movie?). I thought about selling it but in a 4 disc case? Or just give them away?

Anyway, if anyone knows where we can find 3+ blu-ray disc cases (brand new and preferrably the "Elite" type with "indented" blu-ray logo on top) to post here. I'd like "retail" type cases and not ones where I'd have to add some kind of suction cup to the inside...a more permanent case that doesn't cost a small fortune.

I would just store them the same way they store digital copies. Put it in a paper sleeve and just stick in the case.

Well, this eBay seller has 3+ disc cases, but they look a little different since the swing tray is clear, and in the picture you can't get a good look at the hinges. I was thinking of using the existing tray from the damaged Blu-ray case I'm replacing.

http://stores.ebay.com/KJRMEDIASUPPLIERS

They are located in the UK though, so shipping to the US is fairly steep.

Anyone else had any luck? I've scoured Google for 3+ disc cases with very little luck

Hi Brandon,
I checked just now this eBay item and like you said the postage is very high (approx $20 USD for 10 cases) and the cases themselves cost a little over $10 USD. I think the seller states he has at minimum 10 lots so I tried to see what the postage would be for say 5 lots (50 cases) and no break at all in shipping (about $100 for shipping alone).

So, I sent the seller a message asking him or her if there could be a break in shipping for multiple lots purchased. I doubt I will hear from the seller this evening as it's about 2:00 am or so over there but hopefully will get some kind of response tomorrow. I'll report it here.

And thanks for the info Brandon.

Any luck on this?

If I could just find some 2-disc swing trays I'd be happy, but the only ones I've found that fit Blu-ray cases don't ship to the US.

buy these blu-rays with a dvd and dc in a 3 disc case. sell the dvd or give it away, move the blu-ray to a single disc case and now you have a 3 disc case.
