Hey dbennion,

Just curious, the sleeves you have, are they clear or do they have a cloth lining in the sleeve for the data side to be up against, similar to a binder.

Cloth lining both sides on a middle panel, two sided, perfect for movies I copy to two blanks, clear vinyl so I can see the titles I scribble on the disks.

Futureshop in Canada has them in stock at 100 for $8.99 CAN (maybe $7.50 US). I usually pay less that that.

100 slim cases (50 black, 50 multi-colored) at Staples for $12.44 in most areas. Warning - the case weighs a ton. ;)

Thanks for that info; good price for cases. The slim plastic cases, for me, have two defects, but it depends on your collection and how you use it. I'm guessing those are 1-disk cases, and I copy to two blanks most movies that won't fit onto one blank without compression. I like to keep 100% of the original movie quality, for when I decide to plunge into the 60" HDTV market. The two-disk sleeves are perfect for me ... none of that "hey where the F is part 2 of Godfather?"

The other issue is one of volume. I have 900 movies, and simple storage space becomes a problem. I can probably stuff about twice the number of movies into the same row using sleeves.

Slim cases are fine if you dont have 1000+ movies you want to store and organize, taking up as little space as possible.

All of the slim cases I have used will hold 2 DVDs at once. I don't think I put too much pressure on the DVDs when I squeeze them into one case - at most, the same pressure the DVDs near the bottom of a new spindle would have. I too like to split movies onto 2 DVDs to keep the quality for my big screen.
