Hi Lindsay, We have the Kwik Case DVD I (fully enclosed) for our DVDs from Gressco for our almost 8000 DVDs. LOVE THEM. The vendor is great and we have not had any problems. I tested most of the ones out there and this was the only one I couldn't break open by hand and remove the disc. in less than 2 minutes. The most I could do is break it closed : ) Let me know if you have other questions. Wish they had a fully enclosed VHS one too!

We use the Checkpoint system from Demco ( http://www.demco.com/goto?BLS173439&ALL0000&es=20140812074132923268 ) So far, it has worked pretty well for us. We tattletape the spine under the paper cover in the sleeve and circulate the dvd in the unlocked security case and lock it back up to put it back out in the stacks.

The more expensive DVD's are kept behind the desk and are not locked. I hope this helps. Heidi Heidi S.

That means of course we have no usage statistics, and materials are put away in the wrong place, damaged, etc. I'm wondering if anyone uses any secure packaging to prevent this kind of thing? Such as this: http://www.demco.com/goto?BLS173440&ALL0000&es=20140811154214728245 If you do, could you let me know? If it's cost effective, I am going to look into these. Thanks for your input.
