I've seen a dozen DVDs cracked in the spindle-hole across multiple box sets from this travesty of a design. Bought replacements and exchanged them. Seems they went back to a more sane storage format and these disc-eaters were just unloaded over the holidays or something.

Aren't they designed, so you push the middle down to release?
Oh, yeah, you'd think, but no. Instead you have to try and bend the clips, and while doing so, they catch the two layers of the spindle-hole and either crack the disc, tear the disc, or tear the layers apart. Sometimes the disc even comes out.
Typicals, yes. This one is a little different. It has a thick plastic cylinder in the middle and tabs on the sides.
Oh I remember those. Just break it.
you should go into politics
I think they keep making Blu Ray cases worse to force you to streaming. Also, Blu Ray players, seems like the only functional Blu Ray player is a PS5 now.
What is it?
You just exposed your age ;)
I was born back when a medium older than this was still in use, but I still had to come here for ZeroGravitas's reply, because all I saw was this circular bit and maybe (but probably not) the rim of a microwave glass plate. I wouldn't have known it's a DVD case otherwise.
UPDATE: Aaaaaand I just saw the post's description. Obviously it's obvious now.
Then I will expose it further by saying it looks like a DVD case, but I didn't think people still cared about those in 2026. So I had to ask.
LE: and now I saw the accompanying text and I feel like an idiot. Thanks a lot, Voyager, I guess :/
Physical media has actually started taking off again, what with people growing fed up of paying to subscribe to multiple streaming services, sometimes paying to "buy" a digital movie, only to find none of it available anymore.
I bought a CD of Journey's Evolution in middle school and I never stopped collecting shiny discs.
I turn my head to face my shelf with hundreds of DVD's and Blu-rays.
takes two off the shelf, and switches the discs
No I won't tell you which two.
You're a monster
YOU JUST EXPOSED YOUR IGNORANCE
(sopranos quote)
It's the contact point to connect your butthole cleaner to. You pop a brush head into that, then pop the brush into your butthole, and then spin it.

I remember the ancient magic
The solution is a NAS
That's what they're doing:
Recently digitalized bunch of DVDs and BluRays.
Fine. The solution is downloading everything instead, which is faster anyway
Arguable. Internet around my are is fucking nuts on price. To save some coin, I am stuck with 100mbps. 30gb Bluray movie would take me approx 2.5h while MakeMKV would rip a disc in 50 minutes.
Wow! Ok I get it. I have 5gb/s unlimited for 45 euros/month. With usenet I can download a 40GB movie in an hour (max server speed) if I wanted to. The issue I have is storage. I only have 4TB free on my 36TB NAS so I need to download lower quality (usually ~10GB per movie, 1-3GB pr episode) until I have saved enough money for a bigger NAS.
I'm just impressed all the tabs haven't snapped off yet
The entire universe could collapse and these tabs will live on. Forged by Satan himself.
Right after he forged clear retail bubble packaging. The thick ones, that risk amputation to try and slice open.
Nah, those ones are built like tanks
