Case Logic DVB-200 200 CD/DVD and 92 Liner Note Capacity (Black)

We have collected about a 1,000 movies and they are taking up a TON of valuable space. I did a lot of research and found this really cool Case Logic that holds 92 movie sets. I'll need about 10 of them to do my entire collection. I bought one for trial to see if I'd like it and so far, I am really happy with it. If you look at 92 physical movies in their cases and compare it to this case, you will be surprised how much room you save.My main concern that finding a movie would be difficult in a system like this. But, because I catalog my collection using a piece of software called CollectorZ, I was able to set a location for each movie. For example each binder I fill will be labeled with a letter like A, B, C, D.etc. There is 46 pages total. So under the location column in the software I gave each movie a location so it would be like "Binder A - Page 31". Each sleeve can fit two movies, so those two movies that are side by side will have the same location.You don't have to use a collection software to do this, you can use spreadsheets to do the same. I've been using the CollectorZ software for many years and I really like it.Anyways, it took me about 3 hours to fill the binder. I tried folding the cover art to fit in the sleeve, but it wouldn't fit. Read some other reviews here and someone mentioned that they folded the spline part as well. But I tried that and it was just too time consuming and honestly, it didn't look that good. So I just went ahead and cut the cover art and chucked the synopsis side because I really didn't it because of the cataloging software has it.So far, I been finding this system to be faster than looking at a huge wall of movies because for one I can use the software to search for a certain movie and get the instant location. Its really smart way to go. The only problem now, is what to do with all the hard cases?The DVB-200 itself is pretty well made using some kind of fake leather material. It has a lot of double stitching for added strength with a nice thick handle. It also zips all the way around around so you don't have to worry that the movies will fall out, they actually fit pretty snug in their sleeves. The plastic straps that hold all the sleeves in seems to be fairly rugged, don't think it will break anytime soon. You can unlock the plastic straps in case you want to add more sleeves and YES, there is plenty of room to add probably 25 more movie sets at least.When the binder is completely full, it weighs around 8 pounds, which honestly..isn't that bad. Much less than 92 movies with their plastic jewel cases.Overall, I am very happy and will be buying 10 more to finish the collection. I also wanted to note that each format will be separated. So DVD movies will have their own books and Blu-Rays will have their own as well. Also, TV series will have their own too.I HIGHLY recommend it.

I have a very large DVD collection . . . I used to store my DVD's on a 7-foot tall and 10-inch deep bookshelf and I would still have to double-stack my DVD's on the shelves in order to make them all fit . . . In the past two months or so I've bought 8 of these cases . . . I've filled 6 of them . . . All 8 cases fit neatly on just two shelves of my bookshelf.The cases seem reasonably durable (I haven't owned them long so I don't know how well they hold up over time).Each "sleeve" has a spot for 2 DVD titles and each "spot" can hold two DVD's for those 2-disc DVD specials . . . Don't let the product description fool you though . . . Although the case does indeed hold 200 discs, it only has 50 "sleeves" capable of two DVD "titles" per sleeve and two "discs" per title . . . So, if you're like me and you only put two DVD titles per sleeve then you'll only be able to put in 100 DVD titles per case . . . But, even so, these cases are more than worth it with the amount of space they save (Imagine how much space 100 DVD cases takes up and you'll understand).

For the most part, these cases are fine. The fabric used is kind to the data side of a DVD. The plastic pockets, for cover art, liner notes, etc, on the opposing pages, seems to be kind to the art side of a DVD. However, I noticed a while ago, when I removed a double-sided DVD, that there were very light surface scartches visible on the facing data side before I removed it from it's slot. Many (50+?) minor scuffs. I thought to myself, "I must have bought this used". I then removed the DVD, and saw the rest of the DVD was scuffless, except for the part visible outside of it's pocket. It was an odd sight, I've never seen that before! These are more like like surface skuffs, only very many of them. These are not deep scratches. Also, it's on the "Full screen" side of the double-sided DVD, so, it didn't bother me much.It did make me wonder, because the plastic for notes/art is smooth, with light dimpling. All I can figure, is each time I picked up the case by the handle, and moved it, the pages shifted slightly. When I opened the binder, the weight of the other DVD pages caused the dimples to have enough weight to leave light scuffs on the facing data side... Probably a combination of the two.Anyway, the DVD played fine.The reason for this review, is that I realized tonight, that it was not just a fluke with one particular case. I opened a different case tonight, to remove a certain film that also turned out to be double-sided. Once again, light scuffing all over the data side poking out of the DVD pocket, that faces the opposing page's plastic pocket. I take out the DVD, and it's the same as the other double-sided DVD I recently viewed; the rest of the facing data side is scuffless, except for the portion that was poking out of the pocket. The opposite data side, entirely facing the fabric, also fine.It bothers me a bit, but not too much, as they are light scuffs, and I've seen much worse scuffing. I'm sure one round through a consumer grade disc-resurfacer would get rid of them, but I won't bother, as I don't often watch the full-frame version on a double-sided DVD, unless I know it's open matte and I want to watch something open matte. The only two double sided DVDs I own that come to mind are Bullitt and Creepshow.I'm just writing this review as a warning, as it's something people may want to keep in mind about these binders and you decide to place double-sided DVDs into them. They aren't really scratches, I'd call it light scuffing. So, if you are very picky about light scuffing, place your double-sided DVDs someplace else. I'd rather these cases not do this, but, if it ever bothers me enough, Or I notice soemthign a bit more than only scuffing, I can always relocate the double sided DVDs to sleeves and place them elsewhere.

If you have a large movie collection and not a lot of room to keep them, these cases are the best! You can usually fit a bit more in the cases than advertised, but it's really hard now to find the inserts. The price was a bit higher than the last few I've bought over the years, but much, much cheaper than buying yet another bookshelf to store the plastic cases on.Please, please Case Logic, don't stop making these cases!
