UMD-8. Click image to enlarge.

If your collection of UMDs has grown and you're in the market for a new storage case, the UMD-8 stores up to eight UMDs and also includes a bonus UMD-sized adapter to store two memory stick duos inside the case. The case itself is about the same size as a PSP, only thicker.

The overall design of the case gives you the feeling that your UMDs are safe. The outside portion of the case is made of a tough plastic, but it can get mildly scratched easily. The inside, however, is made of a slightly flexible plastic. The plastic itself is used as the mechanism to lock the UMDs into its secure location. The UMD fit is really tight; sometimes this tight fit can become a hindrance when the UMD doesn't slide under the lip, but a simple push should take care of that.

This sturdy case has one of the largest capacities to store UMDs, and the bonus lets you store two extra memory stick duos all in the same case. The UMD-8 only has an MSRP of $12.99 making it, in my opinion, one of the best deals to store a collection of UMDs. The only downside is that you can't get it in different colors, but whiteout works to help differentiate the case if you start getting too many.
