I purchased a CD case (tall and narrow, made out of wood) from Ikea. It's really nice, but you do see the DVDs. I like the fact that it is very narrow so you don't notice it as much. I don't think I paid over $75.00 for it. If you don't have Ikea by you I believe they have a catalog that you can order from. If you really don't like to look at them you should purchase a closed cabinet. Ikea also has those.

I love my new cd/dvd storage. I have them in albums that look just like leather photo albums, but instead of photo slots, they have cd slots. I got some at the Container Store, and I forget where I got the others. So for all of my cd's, I have about 4 of these albums on a bookshelf. All our DVD's are in 2 albums that are on a shelf under the TV. Looks MUCH nicer than all those plastic boxes!

Sue, I like that idea! I have the kids' movies that way. I don't know why I hadn't thought about doing ours the same! Do you find that you miss the covers? I guess I could store them in a box, so if I did want to see more about the movie, I'd have it stored where I could get it.

Thanks for the idea!

Sue, I just found a case that will also allow for the DVD covers! I've ordered 2 and they had great reviews, too. I can't wait to get them. I am so ready to get rid of all the "clutter" of those DVD cases.

Thanks,
Robbi

Robbi - where did you find your DVD covers? Do you mind sharing your details? I, too, deal with tons of CDs and DVDs and feel like I am missing out on something by chucking the plastic cases and just keeping the DVD and inserts....
