With a few studios (Sony and Fox primarily right now) now using recycled DVD and Blu-ray cases, what do you think of them?

Here's a pic:









Personally, I dislike them only because it makes the case weaker and more susceptible to damage.

They seem to work just fine...just less material.

They work fine, until they are shipped by mail.

From what I hear, that was the movie's fault.

This is the only problem I have with them. Once they're in my posession they're fine. I keep my movies stored well, and treat both cases and discs well when they're out, so I don't need anything overly sturdy.

I can see these being a problem for those with kids though...

Dolly's not alone. You can also clone profiles.

I've had two so far, replaced 'em with regular cases straight away. As has been said, too flimsy especially when you have them stacked with a bunch of other DVD's on them.
In the end; Winning is the only safety.

Since I receive DVDs and BDs from the studios, I probably have 25 or so (5 sitting in front of me) and while I agree once they are in my possession it's fine, but I do get concerned with them going through the mail. The Blu-ray onces I think are a bit more flimsy.

No problems with them, but I almost all the time remove the discs from the case and place them in the carrousel. If the cases are bad, then I throw them away.
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.

I don't like them... I have seen several of them over the past few months and I cringe over it every time I see one.

As noted already once I have them they are fine. 

The few I got via mail order were pretty beat up. I doubt they could stand up to the kids normal handing either.

They seem flimsy and crappy to me. Thankfully I don't own any yet, but many discs from the library have been in these and I don't care for them.
I do think I like them better than the normal keepcases with the latches on the side though. Those erk me to no end, esp since I don't want to rip the latches off cuz then they look ugly.

Well, I'd still prefer those latches over the recycled cases. I do with those cases the latch could fold inwards (like the one's for certain BD cases).
