Digital camera reviews of Memorex 32021980 DVD Storage Cases 10 Pack
Digital camera Review: As advertised, but not great
Summary: 3 Stars
These boxes (cases) work for storing DVD's as they should, but the quality is not up to what I would expect from Memorex. The black plastic is light weight and the boxes are not all that uniform size-wise. Standard labels fit sometimes and don't fit sometimes. The clear film for holding labels was loose at the corners on some of them. I am sorry, but I really can't recommend these DVD boxes.Digital camera Review: Cheap but workable
Summary: 2 Stars
Pretty cheap cases, but depending on what you are using them for, they'll work. Personally, I think you can get a higher quality for the price somewhere else.Digital camera Review: Crank it, spank it, smack it on the bing-bong.
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a great many pre-recorded DVDs and one thing I've learned above all else is that all DVD cases are not made the same. Some are very good, some mediocre, and some down right awful. Another issue that comes up is damage that can occur during the removal of those labels used to seal the actual disc inside the case, the one that warns potential thieves about the security device often enclosed within...especially annoying to me is when the adhesive from these labels remains on the case, rather than staying on the label once it is removed. By now you're probably thinking I'm of the retentive type, but I like to see myself as being particular (I know, I know, six of one, half dozen of the other), at least when it comes to certain things, like media storage...anyway, while looking into purchasing replacement DVD cases, I actually learned a few things...like the fact that DVDs, while similar to CDs, are, in fact, manufactured differently. It seems DVDs are actually two discs bonded together, and sometimes the process doesn't always bond the center hub of the DVD. This may not be a problem in and of itself, but if you were to use a CD case to store a DVD, the extra pressure required to remove the disc from a CD case could cause the hub to crack, and the loss of data could occur. I guess this is why most DVD cases I've seen have a simple push release mechanism that holds the disc in place.
When I bought these cases over other, similar bundled cases, I really didn't put a lot of thought into it, but ten cases for five bucks seemed like a pretty good deal, and Memorex was a brand name I recognized. The cases are very sturdy and snap closed together in a secure fashion. The hub/disc locking mechanism features three nodes with the push aspect attached to one node, and holds the disc in place with an authorative `snap'. When pushed, it affects said node to allow for release of the disc. Once the disc is in place, it sits within a circular protection zone on a slight, embedded lip, with the outer area featuring molded grooves to facilitate easy grasping of the edges of the disc. The inner cover of the case, opposite the disc area has two holders that allow printed material to be stored inside along with the disc. The outside of the case has a layer of transparent plastic, allowing for the insertion of printed material.
Inside one of the cases is included a bonus in that of a data disc featuring a Memorex software program titled exPressit, which provides disc labeling templates for just about every aspect you can imagine, and claims to work with both PC and Mac operating systems. Of course, for best results, the manufacturer recommends you use Memorex labels, but I'm sure they'd work with any labels available. All in all I'm very pleased with these replacement cases as they met my need, and I thought the price to be very reasonable.

Digital camera Review: DVD storage
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used several boxes of these cases. I like the ability to make a cover to insert on each case so it is easy to see which DVD I am selecting off of our book case.Digital camera Review: Decent, not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
These are decent but do not compare to the cases you get when you buy a professional DVD. The case itself seems flimsy but it might just be my imagination. The plastic film on the outside is loose and flimsy as well as not put on properly on a few cases. The push-release button locks the disc in place fine but doesn't release it too easily. You end up having to pry it off anyway so the push-release is redundant. Also seems like it will break after awhile.
Decent for home use but I would not recommend these if you're trying to use them in a professional setting.
