corey. Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sorry if this is already a thread, if it is just *kindly* redirect me to it haha. Anyway, I want a little case to hold my 7" records in. Not like a bookshelf style how most people store their 12" records, but something where it'd display the front of the artwork and you flip through them. (Sort of like a record store) I've seen some cool ones at record stores in the past but didn't know if anyone had a specific brand or knew of a site that had good ones? I haven't really looked, I figured I'd ask fellow vinyl collectors before buying something random online. Any help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I just use the box my bookshelf speakers came in. It's about 8" wide so it's a pretty good fit aflycon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm planning on just custom making one this summer. Can't be too hard. I hope. corey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey. Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 I'm planning on just custom making one this summer. Can't be too hard. I hope. I was just looking for something classy, but affordable. I know of a couple places that carry things that would hold them well, but they weren't made to hold records exactly, so that's why I wanted to hear what other people used. It's not a huge deal but I also like to keep my records in good condition for my portfolio as I'm a graphic designer/illustrator as well as a vinyl collector.

abovetheearth Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Have you designed a lot of covers for your 7"'s? I don't even store mine. I'm sure you'll eventually get your link but mine just hang out in between a few books for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castaway Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've personally had my eye on this guy for a while. Nice heavy duty carpeted case for relatively cheap. corey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinxabney Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Walmart sells these lil-ass milk crates for pretty cheap. I snagged a few during a dorm-room stuff sale and they were only 75 cents each during that. I think they're like $2 normally. albert and corey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've got some old cases from the 70's the Third Man ones are copies of but mostly I have a bookcase for the 7's that's a little big. corey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxvinyl Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Built this a while back for exactly that purpose. Only took about a day (not counting the time it took between coats of stain and poly). It's a simple design and was extremely easy to build. \\ Daniel Dopp and corey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically exactly what I had in mind size and shape wise. Very cool. Might have to look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
