greenshank Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I can't find an appropriate-looking forum for this...So, bundled with my NH900 I got two 5-packs of the standard 80 minute discs. These came with flimsy translucent flexible plastic slip-cases that merely cover most of the disc (and that not very inspiringly). I would like something rather more protective to keep the dirt of daily life out, something more like what good old (ahem) cassettes came in, or indeed like the cases that my 1GB discs came in (although obviously not so grotesquely large).Can one buy cases? I admit I haven't looked that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylen Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Minidisco sells these:http://minidisco.com/flip-case-10.htmlThey're plastic and may crack (I'm not sure since I don't have them), but they're kind of cassette-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyIvan Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have those jewel cases and they are no more sturdier than you standard CD jewel case. I think the slip cases are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenshank Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have those jewel cases and they are no more sturdier than you standard CD jewel case. I think the slip cases are better.CD jewel cases aren't all that bad if you're nice to them. Those slip-cases don't make any real attempt to keep dust, crud, breadcrumbs, spilt coffee, etc out of the disc's innards.There must be something better. I'm going to be on the hunt now for something that I can adapt. Do they make square(-ish) condoms? (Yes, I've just noticed that minidiscs aren't square.)

jonny mac Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Condoms??? Where exactly do you want to keep your MDs..?Maplin in the UK sell "unbreakable" MD cases. Each holds two discs and is made from clear plastic that's less brittle and more flexible than standard cases. Don't know where to get them elsewhere.

atrain Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 do you want them for storage or for portable use? the are options for both, try your local ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenshank Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 jonny mac: thanks, I'll check out Maplin (it's broken at the moment).atrain: both for storage and for portability. I don't really see a difference, to be honest. If I were choosing between lugging around 100 CDs in jewel cases and 100 CDs in one of those wallet things, that would be no contest, but a dozen minidiscs is a small volume, well encased or not, so the same sufficiently good storage solution should work for both.

atrain Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 there is a 12 disc [without slipcase] caselogic that i bought for about au$20 awhile back, try argos or ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenshank Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 jonny mac: thanks, I'll check out Maplin (it's broken at the moment).So I did... and found nothing. They have double CD cases though. Did you misread or did I overlook something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I can't find them now either, must be discontinued. Sorry. I have some at home, they're quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbb90 Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have those jewel cases and they are no more sturdier than you standard CD jewel case. I think the slip cases are better.I had 1 of them...But it didn't take long to break in the same enviroment as the slip cases... The Slip cases are still going strong for me!

bayoubilly Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 a ziplock bag would probably make them dust and water proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
