Verbatim95094 CD/DVD Black Video Trimcases - 50pk

This is a good, sturdy well-made product by Verbatim. It could however use to be packaged in sturdier protective cardboard box, to prevent damage to the fine product.PRO: Rounded outer corner makes your DVD title still legible in the narrower format even though 1/2 thinner than original packaging. You can mostly read even the widest-fastest-deepest spine-filling print which is important-- to be able still to read what you own, displayed on the shelf. (Former catalogue librarian here.) Obviously titles in narrow fonts and centered on the spine fit perfectly legibly in the narrower case, looking quite elegant on my shelf. I have bought flimsy product before and these are of far better quality, e.g., the outer plastic sleeve holding your paper insert is smooth and thick enough not to tear like cellophane shrinkwrap.CON: There was some slight warpage on some of cases, lying not absolutely flat, not horribly so but just perceptibly (SOME not all of them), perhaps from being stored under pressure in a thin cardboard box that is not rigid enough to hold its shape in perfect square. Also due to thin packaging, a few of the 50 cases were crushed on the edges, rendering them unusable, but considering the price, not a "deal breaker". I have ordered 3 more boxes since and none damaged in subsequent shipments.Apart from the flimsy packaging, I very much like this Verbatim product, enough to have bought 4 boxes thus far, in order to convert my burgeoning movie collection while conserving shelf space. Taking a ruler and single-edge razor blade on a kitchen cutting board, I sacrifice only 1/8" off each side of the paper insert, re-insert and line up in the new case, and voila! I'm back in business.

Having purchased several hundred of these cases now, I have yet to be unhappy. There have been no cracked cases, no broken catches or hinges, and no misshapen cases. Plus Amazon's price has been the cheapest so far. I cut my own inserts with a paper cutter. 10 7/16" X 7 1/4". The box states Verbatim offers a template on-line but I've had no luck finding it and an e-mail to their customer service did get a response that they did not offer the template - but the boxes continue to have the statement on them. There are some inserts sold separately on this site but they are EXPENSIVE compared to just cutting copier paper, then setting up your own template thru a word processing program and printing them as needed or handwriting if appropriate. I generally cut enough for two boxes (approximately) and have them ready to use when I need them. Without a paper cutter it would be tedious and not so accurate. But paper cutters are cheap. Local craft stores that offer 40% off coupons can make a paper cutter about $12.00 now. The guillotine cutter is the fastest, more expensive and MORE DANGEROUS cutter to use - Not recommended for areas where children may have access. These are usually found in an office supply. I hope my experience continues with the Verbatim Storage Cases.

Ordered used-like-new from Amazon Warehouse Deals, and the cases are all in perfect condition.The center hub does not allow the disc to spin freely, which is nice. There's a bit of a trick to getting the disc out without bending the disc - you basically have to push the center hub in, bending the back of the case (which is not a problem, just a little different.)While not perfect, the cases feel like they'll last. When open, the plastic feels flimsy, but closed cases feel solid. The spines aren't perfectly square to the covers when closed, but it's not noticeable on a shelf. Also, I haven't had any issues with scratches or tears on the clear outer sleeves. The "clips" that hold the case closed work well, and there's actually an additional "weak" clip on each of the short edges.The slim covers I designed fit the cases perfectly. All you have to do is halve the width of the spine from a full-size cover. I used these for PS2 games, and wrote a program to convert full-size covers from thecoverproject.com into slim covers.

All of the cases arrived in mint condition. Nne of them were cracked or defective. The snaps on each case are very secure and you can hear them snapping shut. The plastic is flexible but stiff and of good quality. You can easily put jackets inside the case as the plastice is open at the top and the bottom. They don't pull or warp or tear. I am very pleased with these cases. The site (verbatim.com) had free templates to use for making jackets. They aren't very versatile one is an empty box to scale and one is a box to scale with lines for writing. W just used the lined template to paste the movie pictures and titles, ect in the correct space.They are slim cases, so they are about 1/4" wide on the binding. Maybe a little more, but it was a bit difficult to print the cases and get the title exactly on that narrow strip. It worked well and overall we are ery pleased. They hold the dvd in place very well inside. I am not worried about any of the discs coming off the center circle. They only hold one disc inside but do have built in clips to hold an insert.

While I use a lot of streaming services now, I still highly value my DVD collection. There are many films that never appear or could suddenly disappear from said services. However, DVDs take up a lot of space. I have moved most of my movies into these thin cases so that they take only 1/2 of the space, which leads to fewer conflicts in the home.Cases arrive on time and none were damaged.Wish I could get the thin cases that hold two discs though.

Great case, sturdy and almost full size. I would have gave the 5th star but I thought these were like a normal DVD case. These are more like a Blu-Ray case. around 2/3 the thickness of a normal DVD case. But I will make due.

I'm a photographer and I give customers their images on [ DVD- ] so they can't destroy the original image. They can get a copy off the disk and use it how they like but the original is unmodified. This case does the trick but the spine is about half the thickness of regular cases. I have to modify my template accordingly but that is an easy fix on my end... and with it thinner it easily mails.

It is a good way to collect all of your loose DVD's

DVD sleeves are thinner then I am used too, so existing DVD labels needed to be split to fit, but the room it saves in the cupboard is well worth the cutting effort. I figure I have saved 2/3 the space of the standard DVD case.Quality seems good, spline line seems thick for the products size and I think it could take numerous openings and closings.
