    ChadP2k, I'm probably going to give Seinfeld a try in the next few weeks. I'll let you know if i come up with something. Dave Gilbert, you have a PM.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    I recieved my order from ldbmart yesterday. Both the 8's and 10's have a spine of 1 7/16" and seem to be decent quality. Experimenting with a spine of 431 pixels for the inserts. The only thing I think I wouldn't like about the 8's from shop4tech would be the overlapping discs on the outer flaps.

    ChadP2k...I have some converts I made of the first four seasons of South Park (300dpi, orientation of box spine corrected). All four total about 15MB. Email or PM me if interested.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Chad...the best doubles I've run across are pictured in post #592 of this thread. AFAIK, they are only available at Staples. They are as thin as a thin single, and the hubs seem pretty good. I haven't seen any sort of thin double using the OZ hub. I've been looking for thin singles with the...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Just thought I'd give a heads up that the 8-DVD and 10-DVD cases are now available here . According to the site, they are both 1 7/16" wide, but I'm waiting until I have them in my hands to verify.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    That's cool Ric. I may have to give those a try. How are the hubs? Still haven't found anyone to remail the 8's and 10's from the UK. (If there's someone from the UK reading this thread willing to order and mail some cases to the US, paid ahead of time of course with a few extra pounds...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Ric...I was gonna run it through the people over at your forum as well. I really don't know how many would be still interested as there are other (cheaper) sources which are only fractionally bigger. I still prefer the OZ cases. Right now, I'm also intrigued about the 8 and 10 DVD cases...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    The best single thin I've seen has insert clips and the OZ hub, with the plastic being slightly sturdier than the Nexpak thins. I got 4 from somewhere (probably a set I put in a slim-4), but can't find a source to buy them anywhere. On another topic, I may try to organize another OZ group...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Wow...the super-slim doubles are nice. I've been putting all my double sets except for some with spine issues and those which contain a dual-sided disc (since it looks like the hubs might touch the disc on the opposite side). I hope my Staples gets some more in soon. BTW, the first season of...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    For some things like the Indiana Jones set, I scan the box and resize it to fit a case like a slim-6. For others like Futurama, where the individual DVDs are already in slimpaks, I just toss the box. Then again, even though Roswell came in individual thinpaks, I use a slim-6 with a scan of the...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    I've been looking for quite a while and have come up empty handed so far. Andrea thought she may have been on to a source for sliimer packaging for up to 10(!!!) DVDs. I'm hoping it pans out. I bought a pack of the thin singles with clips referred to earlier in this thread and they're not too...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    I was mostly referring to clipping inserts in addition to the covers. Judging from the length of this thread, quite a few are doing it to the covers. Although, I recently got some single thinpaks with insert clips. I think I like those better even though the plastic seems a little flimsier.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Mike, I do similar trimming on my double thinpaks, however I also trim a little off the top and bottom of the inserts, so they don't stick out from the outside cover. Glad to see I'm not the only one doing this.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Thanks Will...I ordered a pack to try out. Couldn't agree more about making one's DVD collection different than the stuff that goes to the pawn shop. Very easy way to differentiate your DVDs (at least for now). Obviously, anything of VERY collectible value, I keep the original insert for.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Mark, have you ever seen those types of cases in clear? That's the only reason I'm still ordering the Nexpak style of thin case. I have gotten some box sets with clear thinpaks with insert clips and decent hubs, so I know they exist somewhere. I think they were made by Scanavo, but can't find...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    The shipping from Australia seems to be pretty expensive no matter who one orders from. My latest order (40 various sized cases) from PCX came up to about 97 AUS$, and the shipping was 90 AUS$. This totals about 137 US$. One is also required "to make a direct deposit payment (security issue...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Got an email from a guy in Australia with another (cheaper) source for the OZ cases: http://www.pcx.com.au/media/media_Pack_CD.htm Interestingly, it looks like they have them in "Milky/Clear" in addition to the normal black. I ordered 10 of each the 3-DVD through the 6-DVD to check out...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Haven't found any clear triples yet, but was able to make a couple by replacing the tray in a couple of thin double Amarays (clear ones obviously) with the double-DVD tray from the OZ cases. Picked up the Kids in the Hall set this week, and really liked the packaging...thinpaks with hubs...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Those do look pretty cool, Will. I've always been a little leery of the "sleeve" type holders, but those don't look too bad. Finally got brave and started tossing out original packaging (digipaks, etc) for sets that I've made covers for. Scanning them all in at 600 dpi before tossing them...

    Yep...they're the same width as a standard single Amaray.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    I've only ordered the slim triples from pakpal, and while good cases, they do use somewhat flimsier plastic than the cases ordered from OZ (I ordered some of their 3's on my first order). Speaking of the OZ cases, I might have a cheaper source to check out. I got some email from a guy down...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Gotta agree with Gary about the overlapping-ness of those multi-cases...I don't like that at all. The singles seem to be real solid, though. Michael, did you order directly from Scanavo or some retailer selling their stuff? I'm dying to see some 7's and 8's as well.

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    I picked up the first season of Roswell the other day, and came across a different type of thinpak used for three of the DVDs. They're made by a company called Scanavo (link ) and unlike the Nexpak single thinpak, these have a flower-style hub that I like a bit better than the solid bump that...

    DVD Thinpak and other Slim Cases

    Mike, I save all the original boxes and digipaks for stuff I convert (which I'm still considering dumping just to clear out my closet), but give away the regular Amarays and doubles, etc. Rather than cutting up some of the nicer cases like Amadeus and other SE's, I either download from...
