It seems that no one has been able to come across a retailer who sells the Super Jewel Box (it's actual name, though it's sometimes shortened to just SJB for product reference). These are the jewel boxes which have become the "standard" for DVD-A discs. They're the ones that are an inch taller than regular jewel boxes, and they also feature rounded corners and (I feel) a sturdier build than typical jewel boxes.
Or perhaps I should say that I haven't yet found any mention of retailers selling the SJB. Even a trip to the SJB website failed to find any mention of how pitiful little individuals like myself (who are trying to standardize their collection now that several DVD-Audio releases have used alternate packaging.... ) can buy replacement cases.
FYI: I did discover that SJB currently markets their product in three styles (though of course there's nothing "standard" about their usage, as different companies are using them... differently!):
SJB standard - for CDs and SACDs
SJB Plus - for DVD-Audio titles
SJB King - for DVD-Video titles
ANYWAY... long boring story short: I sent an e-mail to the U.S. distributor for SJB asking for information about purchasing SJB Plus cases. Heck, I'd even purchase a package of 10 or 20 if that was the only way to go, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm guessing that they're set up to deal with commercial distributors/companies only. I will pass along the info if and when I get it.
