  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.

• Decent, not great.

  
  By A2JH1E68RRLIDG on 2006-06-07
  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.
  
  

• Good to have on hand

  I bought these for single discs of favorite movies. Plastic sleeve allows for printed matter. Push-button keeps discs securely in place. Good deal.
  
  

• Works fine. Expensive.

  DVD cases reallllly shouldn't be so expensive. I mean, there isn't much to them - just some pressed plastic to put your copied DVDs into. Whoops did I just say that? Ah well, I mean your BACKUP DVDs will fit into these.... yeah that's it. These have a clear plastic sleeve on the outside for the covers your print out at work on the color printer and take home. Not much else to say. They hold DVDs and the cover you print out for them. Shouldn't be so expensive. Should be like 3 bucks for 10.

• Product Changed!
  By A2MQLYAQKKRXEA on 2006-12-23
  Memorex changed the cases in this package, yet failed to reflect this on the packaging. I purchased them at a local Office Depot. It's the one with the patented hub that's supposed to protect your DVDs center. Anyway, the two packages I got are no difference in comparison to regular cases I've gotten with sets I've bought. I felt ripped off and will be returning these to the store for a refund.
  
  
• Quality Product
  By A3RPBS4H6TNW05 on 2007-03-08
  The cases are functional and sturdy but the bonus labelmaker software sucks. It is antiquated and useless. The first thing I do is pull the software disc out and get rid of it!
  
  
• Not Bad, Definitely Not Great
  By A147FUNITGB21I on 2007-12-30
  My one real beef with the product is the push button that holds the DVD in place. It's one of those kind that is kind of awkward to use. You have to press really hard and make sure all the edges are through. At least the price came down, though.
  
  
• Not bad for the price but could've been SLIGHTLY better.
  By A2UQ5LL6EI2FXS on 2008-03-04
  I had bought these as replacement cases since I grab used games often and happen to stumble on a few copies where it looks like the previous owner took a good hacking to it. So if anyone is like me I like to do what I can to make any little bit of it seem good as new. Hey it makes me feel better what can I say?
  
  For a 10 Pack the price isn't that bad really, my only criticism on the product is when placing the disks inside it took a little more than necessary effort to make sure they stayed in. Also the clear slip for your labels seems shockingly fragile. I had one case easily rip just by putting it down and stacking others ontop of it.
  
  In the end I just had to remember these are replacements and would never be as great as the original case that got damaged. It was just a pity though because Memorex always seemed like an okay brand.

• Works as it should
  By A21LAIMKVPHSFN on 2007-11-20
  Compared to HP DVD cases sold in Walmart, this product is more expensive but has better build quality. It also holds the media better but harder to release. Generally it works as it should be.
  
  
• Pretty gosh darn good cases
  By A2WN0T4EMQ9VWB on 2008-03-12
  I purchased these cases for a collection I have of costly DVDs (YMAA Jwing-Ming series of martial arts seminar) The cases these DVDs came in weren't to my satisfaction...the release mechanisms were somewhat intractable and each time I removed the DVD from the case I would have to bend the DVDs pretty severely. These DVD cases solved my problem. These cases have about everything you'd want in a case: easy release mechanism, ability to slip the old cover into the new sleeve (so the DVDs still look official). There is one thing that I don't like, however. On the inside of the case is a plastic tab build into the crease. The purpose, I assume, is to press down on the DVD in order to keep it level after closing. Sometimes the tab slips under the DVD and that worries me a bit. Maybe they thought too much on that concept. I haven't cut the tab off as I am careful when closing the cases, but one could easily remove the tab, I think. So I took 1 star off. But they're good cases, don't hesitate to purchase them.
  
  
• Horrible
  By AFLH5YZC05PE0 on 2008-05-21
  I bought this item along with the 10pk twin storage cases. Shame on me for thinking Memorex would be good quality. Cheap cheap cheap! Really thin plastice sleeve, really thin plastic altogether. The smell when I opened the package from Amazon was horrible! Smelled like burned oil. Just awful! Not to mention I'm not even sure if I have the new or old packaging because the packaging I recieved doesn't look anything like the packaging on Amazon's website. I will probably be throwing these away as soon as I find better ones. I've already opened the packages to see if it was Amazon's box that smelled or the actual cases so I'm sure I can't return them now so... $30+ wasted. Please don't waste your money on these.
  
  
• Storage cases with free software
  By AWP9CQBB3882G on 2007-01-04
  The cases are good quality, but what really makes this a great buy is the free software Memorex supply with the cases.
