Slappa CD Cases

[OllieJames]

Hello all,

I'm currently re-vamping my rig, and thought it was about time to sort out my CD collection properly. For the past however many years (4 years?) I've carried my CDs (in their cases) in a flight case, but after talking to various forum members and being impressed by the features and video demos i had seen of the 'Slappa CD Cases', i decided to purchase one.

First of all, i think the prices of these are fantastic for what you are getting! For example, i purchased the Slappa 240 for £35!

The case itself is very well made and features a strong zipper and sturdy rubber 'pullers', along with a strong handle and a velvety touch ;).

On the inside cover of the case, you find a little pouch which is ideal for the CD cleaning cloth provided and in my case a hard copy of my song database.

Unlike many cheaper CD case/wallet manufacturers the sleeves are sewn properly, not hot glued so are set to last years.

The wallets themselves are wider than usual ones, so it allows room for the cover of the CD. There is space for the CD cover in the transparent part, and the CD in the other part. Alternatively, you can put two CDs per wallet.

Overall, i think this is a fantastic product as it is strong, well made and was a good price for the quality of build you get. When i have an even bigger CD collection, i will definitely buy another one. :) If you have any more questions, ask! :)

Awesome case Ollie.
Aree the stickers staying on these times or did you result to using paper and tucking them inside the sleeves?

Just remember to Practice and Enjpy!

Hello Mate,

Cheers :) Yeah the stickers are staying on just about. Will need a solution at some point, but they're holding up!

They're fantastic aren't they!

Thanks :)

I use these too. I take a 360 out with all my back-up CDs, and also use the headphone case to protect my HDJ 2000s.

Good luck with it Ollie--as it happens two of the oldest Forum members ( which includes me) gave up CDs years ago and switched to digital.;)

Looking at those cases just makes me feel tired.:D :D :D

Thanks Alan! :) Haha, I would go digital, just don't want to pay for a license. This case is really lightweight actually, although i don't have that many CDs. :D

They are good cases I started out with a 240 and recently went for the Slappa 600 trolly. Only used to hold the backup cd's these days since going digital

[geoffrey]

You just can’t beat these Slappa cases they are awesome. I have two and both in different colours so when someone asks for a track in the 60’s, 70’s or 80’s I go straight for my black case or 90’s to 2008 I go for the blue case. I tend to use them more for my sets than albums or singles.

The only problem I get is self inflicted as I have had the tendency to put the wrong CD’s in the wrong slot ie (dance anthems disc 3 vol 2 in Dance anthems disc 2 vol 3 etc).

I also have a four slot open style case for new tracks (Singles, Pro disc, DMC etc. then party, and the last two are dedicated to my Rock ‘N’ Roll.

The only thing I can recommend with your cases is to sort them out once and leave it alone. Even if they are not that well in order it is usually only you that needs to know where they are.

haha looking at record boxes makes me feel tired

back on topic, i have 4 of these cases and agree they are good value

[DJMaxG]

I am still considering getting one, but can't decide how to arrange it, nor what to do with situations like quad disc sets etc.

Can I ask what the stickers are for Ollie, is it incase you loose one, you know it's 'number 147', or something?

[pagan_flame]

I have a 360 for my rock stuff, and it is an excellent piece of kit... and which has put one wallet in place of 3 big CD cases beforehand. However! The only negative thing that I have about it is:

- Now I have put all my rock / metal CDs into one wallet - if it got lost / stolen, it would cost me about £1500 to replace! Watch where you leave them... ;)

[DJMaxG]

Yep, I shall keep it away in the cupboard etc just as backup ... should my hdd(s) fail, and also because I own the discs, but shall probably not use them much anyway, once archived.

Max, Instead of keeping the track listings, I just put the CDs in the case. I then created an excel document of every CDs track listings and gave each CD a number. I then numbered every 'window' in the wallet, and made sure it correponded with the disc number on excel. This then means when a song is requested, you can find it on the excel spreadsheet and it tells you the song title, artist, genre, year and where it is in the Slappa case. I now use digital though.

[DJMaxG]

Great Info Ollie :approve:

[Tom]

What I did was set up my folder so I went from decades then other like rock, soul, disco, ect.

To find the tracks I used my laptop which had media monkey on there. You just upload the song ID3 tags to the program and you can search for the music you want when you want it. All you need to do is search for the track, flick through the CD folder and and pull the CD out. Simple.

Also this saves you having to set up an excel document. Providing you have ID3 tagged all your songs for personal use at home then your laughing. :)

[DJMaxG]

Tom, I have recently imported some properly tagged files (using 'tag and rename') into ITunes, and it has not picked up the artwork, nor the artists, and seems to be displaying the filenames instead.

I know there's v.1 & v.2 etc, but not sure what it's all about.

Am I tagging them incorrectly, by any chance?

[Tom]

Right click on the MP3 and click on properties and then click summary. Check that all the information is in place.

I have all my music that I have ripped for personal use and it don't always find the artwork even with all the ID3 tags complete.

[DJMaxG]

Will all the artwork fit in nicely :
the leaflet at the front, and the track listing at the rear?

[DJMaxG]

I bought a Slappa 360, and guess what - it's full already within a few weeks of owning it :rofl:

[Tom]

LOL, it's like a massive suitcase, I just thought it was slightly over the top. :(

Looks like I'll be buying another then

I still dont get the joke:confused: Is there a joke somewhere:confused:

[DJMaxG]

I still dont get the joke:confused: Is there a joke somewhere:confused:

nope, no hidden jokes.

But I've bought the case and it's back to square one, if you get me.

[amplified]

I've got to agree slappa cases are the best. Got the 240 for christmas and the quality is really good. Not only are they stylish but also practical with room for cd labels and no big bulky cd cases

if you appreciate your cd collection i would advise getting one of these

Definately, But one thing I have found is the further you go into the case, the harder it is to slide CDs in, as the back pages are virtually touching the case.
