Review on πŸ“€ Memorex 2-Disc DVD Movie Cases - 10-Pack (Discontinued) - Limited Availability! by Charles Quinones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for general use but failed the "drop test "

Memorex Twin DVD cases are a standard 14mm width, VHS style height normally supplied with commercial DVD releases will, and stick a disc on each half of the box. Manufactured from black polypropylene with a transparent plastic cover to insert the labels. A package of ten boxes arrived in good condition. There was a slight odor characteristic of freshly molded polypropylene, but this should dissipate within a few days if the case is exposed to air. Boxes currently (circa June 2011) shipped are said to have a 'specialized frictionless bearing knot', which the packaging says is necessary because the DVD production process 'does not bind the DVD center', easily damaging the discs in the center hole be able. There are many different versions of the central spindle; This one has a DVD hook tab on one end and the other has two very thin case legs to give it a springy effect. I have added a picture of this part to the product listing. The tongue has to move a bit to clear the disc, which causes those skinny legs to flex, and while they look fragile, other thicker leg designs usually have a very thin piece of plastic that can also break. Spreading the spring out over a longer, thinner piece of material seems like a good idea, although the tab lacks holding power. I found that when the edge of the case fell four feet down onto a thin carpet, the disc fell out, although the case was undamaged. Therefore, without additional packaging in the sleeve, it is not suitable for sending by post, although the discs should remain in place with normal handling. The cases feel well made and the tongue is unlikely to damage the center hole area of the disc. For regular storage I would have no hesitation in purchasing more of these cases although the design of the tab could be improved.

Pros
  • Satisfactory for now
