Hope I have this in the right place. I'd like to get some hard cases for my more valuable steels. They seem hard to get. A seller on Ebay Germany is selling them, but won't ship to Canada. but was unable to get any. Can anyone help?

Thanks guys @DMD4k @Stygian
I rather prefer the "tight" fit of an SCF2, but if there isn't anything heightwise, what's there to do but use an SCF4? I guess I'll have to send a suggestion to produce yet another SCF2 style with greater height this time, and hope for it to come true.

I have to say that these seem to be the perfect fit. The slips don't move when I shake the cases. There isn't any room left at the top or on the sides. If there was any less room inside the case I don't think I would have been able to put the slips in these. I definitely would never be able to get the slips back out either.

I will take some pictures later on.

I usually just use this craft cutting board, and slice off the top flap before forming the slipcover. It isn't a perfect solution - but it's protected.

Here are some photos. I hope they help.

Damn! I need to get a pack of 50 from Steelbook Central and it's $26 but the shipping is FREAKIN' $19, what the hell? I've ordered before and don't remember the shipping being so damn high.

It was always high! That's why I try to do one bulk order per year - figure out what I need and just do one order of everything per year because of the high shipping cost. (Sometimes I inevitably miscalculate - and end up needing more SCF1 or SCF2. I am surprised at how many SCF4 I have been needing this year....)

I'll have to get a pack of 100 or 150 instead of just 50 then to make it worth it. Fifty was going to cost me $26 and then $19 on top of that for shipping, damn that crazy.

I think bulk is the way to go. Think of it this way- you will end up using every last one- so there is no waste to getting a bunch at once.
And to be honest, it's nice - I have a cabinet full every single size at the ready !

Just ordered 50 for now, it's all I could afford with everything else I'm buying right now. How long does it usually take for delivery after you've placed an order?

Pretty damn fast. (At least that has always been the case for me)

Does anyone know of a Steelshell like slip that would fit the John Wick Steelbook mini?

If you find something, let me know.

I dont know the size of the mini, but look into money collecting stores, they might sell supplies

Thanks. Maybe.

Works for me.
After I watch a steelbook I reshrink before I put it away. (For the odd ducks that do not fit in SC cases- Tins, and the like)

Ha, yeah.

The closest you could get, that I can think of - would be a game box, or something in that arena

I have slips to put my double CD cardboard digipaks in - they aren't far off size-wise.

My steelbook collection is growing at a rapid rate started when zavvi began selling steels then stopped for a while and started last yr again.
But for as long as i have know about steelbook central is the shipping cost are they really that expensive to ship? And say scf 1 which is what i believe i need for zavvi steels with jcards and still sealed? I take these fit ones with slips and lenti also?
But as i have a load of steels and just temp use the bags which are not from these guysa struggle to fit,most times bags don't fit.
But looking at 500 scf1 its saying 15kg for example is this really the weight of 500 of these? Seems a lot for what it is.
I do find the the protectors experience enough but wow shipping is crazy.
Worst thing is i just had a box of items sent from uk from family and could had some of these sent over same time but i had a bunch of stuff that weight was just over 15kg in a huge box and im finding 500 of these scf1 being same weight hard to grasp.
I also have my family coming over to see me next month but i know or feel they be limited in weight as i could have had these took over with them but 500 scf1 at 15kg that be half there allowance lol.
Was thinking of a smaller bunch for now,but i just cant see me ever sending these to australia due to total costs its into $$$$.
As much as i want them and being overseas its annoying but on various bundles with weights anyone know what size of boxes then send in a thsts another factor when taking over in a case.
If im at least able to get some over good.
I was thinking scf9 for hdzeta editions pack of 10.
But is there a guide on what i can use each protector for, i have maniacs,blufans,zavvi steels sealed with jcard,steels with slips,jumbo steels,digibooks,mantalab list goes on by the way the premiums are all one clicks which i believe not all one clicks from different retailers cant be protected yet.
Thanks
