Well, as you know, Grinch, I for one have started making these. It's a fun challenge to start designing a new size, and the spacesaving is very important to me. The ones I make, I'll translate for you if needed. But I do believe that these could catch on, if they got a proper chance. Less expensive than standard size cases, alot smaller, new size = design challenges, just to name a few upsides to these.

Best regards


Thank you for your support in this Aalykee.

Looks like some nifty space savers. ;) I don't use them myself, but i can certainly see why they might appeal to some people.

I agree that these would be a good space saving idea for some people but I wouldn't use them personally, not for DVDs anyhow.

I have some of the cases, about 20 or so, but I use them to keep my original computer/game discs in.

As for making covers for this size, I can't say I'd do many if any at all.

correct me if im wrong, but these are about the same size as a cd jewel case? the local dvd shop uses them.

i like the idea of these and think you should give them a go

but the biggest problem is the size - its not a straight ratio conversion, which is why i imagine they get 'squished' - which means extra work if you were to make one along side a standard cover


It's about that size Henry, the spine is what changes in size. These are 142 x 124 x 7mm.

Supercool and I have made some customs for a better viewing on post #8

You can't just resize your regular customs, they have to be made from scratch.

Post #1 was just one that I got from a friend and I scanned it... Ignore that.

I don't use them myself, but i can understand that some people want to use it.
Limited shelf space for example.

Cheers nonini :)

Thank you all for your comments, I appreciate it.

I myself wouldn't mind making them or using some of these, but like Baz said is all about demand.

And Donger you have a good idea about a vote. Maybe something could be arranged by Baz.

These are neat and I even have a couple of retail mini DVD's in cases even smaller. Would I use this smaller format? Probably not. I usually store my backed up DVD's in the original case with the retail version. As it is I don't use the cover art that is currently available since I retain the retail cover art.

But I guess the question is if there is an audience for these. I'd have to say yes. You already have people using 7mm cases and artwork being provided for those. So why not these smaller cases? It's an interesting idea and maybe a vote is in order amongst Cover Designers or even just the Master Designers.

I dont know any other sites that make this size custom. It's a neat idea for space saving. And the customs above look cool (except for that first post, ugh). The million dollar question is how many people would be interested in going this route with their DVD's?

I'm a Blu-ray guy so this size case doesn't hold any personal interest.
