Minidisc jewel cases?

Does anyone know where I could obtain some of the "standard" sized jewel cases that came with prerecorded minidiscs? I have several prerecorded discs, complete with the cover art and inserts - but many of the cases are all scratched, cracked, and broken. I'd like to replace these, but not sure wehere I could possibly find these cases!

Any advice? Thanks!

Not sure where or if you can still buy those pre-recorded disc cases, but here's an alternative idea for you: http://www.audiotstation.com/forum/showpos...p;postcount=491

Get a hold of the older 1GB discs and use their cases. Good luck.

I'm sure I've seen jewel cases on sale at minidiscaccess.com

I think he's/she's talking about the cases that come with pre-recorded discs and not the jewel cases that are like CD cases. They are different.

For pre-recorded discs:

Here is one place I've found that has the pre-recorded disc cases: http://www.expressspares.co.uk/product.asp...;id=191083&. They are located in the UK. I'm not sure if they ship international.

Good luck.

Yep, the first one is what I'm talking about. I've had about zero luck finding them in the US - although the "large case" Hi-MD case is an option.. I'd like to go 'original' though if I can, since I keep 'em on my shelf spine out, etc..

I'll check out that UK site. Thanks! That's the closest lead I've had so far.

Those aren't the ones the thread-starter was asking for.

The original MD album cases were tall, long-box style, where the disc fit inside an inner square, as seen pictured below. The jewel case link you provided would not fit the artwork.

woops! I didn't read it careful enough.

I have loads that I got "many many moons ago" from a store in Hamburg Germany -these are the Blue one's with flip lids. I bought 300 of these at the time (in those days the GBP was high against the DM -- long before the introduction of the Euro).

I've never seen these cases again --would love to find more of these.

Cheers -K
