November 18th, 2024 - 6:25pmJust had this reply from steelbook central is response to the last three collections and their compatible cases…
Season 15 and 25 already fit inside our DW2 Protectors. Season 20 unfortunately is the only one we do not have a perfect protector for. Some collectors have managed to fit inside our DW3 but that is without the cardboard J card I believe. We do have a loose fitting protector in our range called the SCF26, this will fit Season 20 for a loose fit.

November 19th, 2024 - 10:04amMy S20 does fit DW3, even with the J card, but it’s a very snug fit. Others may not as the width of the spines on S2 and S20 vary, so I was just lucky to get one with a slimmer spine.

November 19th, 2024 - 6:18pmI bought one DW3 to test the other week.
As I display mine without J-cards I only just managed to squeeze my S20 into it.
I need to buy another for S2 which fits fine but at least I can try it out once we get S1,3,4,5 and 6 too.
Mad to think we’ve had 6 more seasons released since I took those photo’s in the article above though.

November 19th, 2024 - 7:25pmI managed too tight squeeze my s20 aswell in the DW3 that especially when it arrived in bad condition from hmv but no majo damage lucky since then if I ever want too watch them I carefully take out the main dvd box set for the discs and booklet etc but keep the j card still sat inside too avoid more damage happening easy

October 29th, 2024 - 8:03amDoes anyone know about S25 yet? 🙂
Rory
October 29th, 2024 - 8:57amMine fit DW2 easily.
Rory
March 14th, 2024 - 3:57pmPlease someone let us know when they get it, which one will fit S15. I need to order a few more, so I’ll wait until we know what size for S15.
Rory
March 25th, 2024 - 12:05pmFor anyone wondering, DW2 fits S15.
DPHill
March 25th, 2024 - 1:27pmDW4 does fit it but it is ever so snug, best go for DW2
Goody
March 25th, 2024 - 8:26pmwhat one for season 20
Rory
April 2nd, 2024 - 9:30am@goody, my S20 fits into DW3 with a little wiggle room, but others’ may not. It seems some of the boxes have slightly wider spines. I had the same issue with S2, which had a spine so wide it split the J-card. I got a replacement with a slimmer spine and that actually fit DW2.
tldr: DW3 maybe.
Will
February 10th, 2024 - 2:36pmWhat one for Season 20??
Snowman
February 29th, 2024 - 3:48pmI think we might have to wait for Steelbook Central to have some Sleeves made especially for Season 20 as it’s too large for any of the Existing Covers. (They had some made especially for Season 2 when that was released and there was nothing to fit it properly at the time).
Has anyone heard if they have plans to make some more different size Sleeves?
DPHill
November 20th, 2023 - 11:10amNot sure about others comments, have got all the respective protectors for the collection and cushing sets, season 20 is very snug, but the one for season 2, the DW3, it does for a sec look and feel like it won’t but I gently teased it and it just slid in like a glove, it should fit s20… mine has at least

September 26th, 2023 - 12:31amWhat one for Season 20
Welsh Doctor Who fan
September 17th, 2023 - 2:27pmHi there,
I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a protector for the new Season 20 Dr Who Blu-ray limited edition collection.
I thought that the protector for Season 2 would fit as this is also a 9 disc set but the new Season 20 seems wider so regrettably the DW3 protector does not fit.
Ben
September 22nd, 2023 - 7:58pmI thought that. Have just purchased DW3 and it does not fit.
Goody
July 31st, 2023 - 11:57pmcan someone ask if they make the plastic covers for DW and the Daleks Collectors Edition & DW Daleks invasion of Earth Collectors Edition?
Sean
July 1st, 2023 - 4:34pmAny of them fit season 9?

Thanks

June 27th, 2022 - 12:12amI bought enough for the entire collection (and spares).
These are really good and make me feel more at ease, I was surprised how well they fit.
Season 22 is the perfect size for the larger protector
Dave
June 22nd, 2022 - 12:34pmwhich one for season 22 please
Rusty
June 26th, 2022 - 9:43amThe larger size for S22
Dave
June 27th, 2022 - 7:24pmthanky ou Rusty
Peter
May 26th, 2022 - 11:09pmCan anyone please tell me which protective covers to order for the Blu-ray steel books with cardboard slip cases (e.g. the animations like Evil of the Daleks, Macra Terror et al)? I got the protective cases for the Collection boxsets and they are perfect (especially as I get mine autographed).
Mike
May 6th, 2022 - 8:57pmReceived mine very happy I also purchased the steelbook ones as well which fit a treat if you want them for other sets they are very helpful if you need them
dave
April 27th, 2022 - 12:20pmgot mine today, there ok, im not 100% sold on them, feel it may be a faff getting them out every time to view, dont like how shiny they are on spines and really do not like the small gap between season 24 & 26 where the box is slightly larger. but delivery was quick and they seem sturdy.

April 21st, 2022 - 10:23pmHi booboo.
Got my protectors today.
I’ll send some photo’s to you via the ‘contact us’ email address so that you can put them on here for others to see in case they are still on the fence about buying them.
I don’t display mine with the j-cards as prefer to see the whole Doctor and Enemies image. But there is plenty of room for them.
Thanks.
booboo
April 22nd, 2022 - 12:20pmgot them just added them thanks
Charles :)
April 15th, 2022 - 11:20pmI’d really recommend these. Prompt delivery and easy to use. I’ve just fitted them to all my box sets and they each fit really well (even the supposed loose fits still look absolutely fine on the shelf). Especially helpful if you get your sets autographed!
daz
April 16th, 2022 - 2:48pmIs the plastic clear (fully transparent so you can see full colour image of Season set) or is there a blue tint to it?
Just checking before I buy. Thanks.
Charles :)
April 18th, 2022 - 10:14amHi daz, yes they’re completely clear! They are delivered with a peel-away protective covering. I also use their steelbook protectors, which are similarly well-recommended!
daz
April 18th, 2022 - 1:02pmThanks Charles.
I have the Steelbook ones already. I better get my order in.
Bob
April 13th, 2022 - 4:49pmHas anyone received theirs yet – I ordered a set of each but they all seem to be the same size.
no name
April 14th, 2022 - 2:53pmYes I ordered 1 x 10 of the thinner and 2 x 10 of the wider to cover me in future sets.
Arrived promptly and correct sizes

April 15th, 2022 - 10:35amI bought a pack of three on April 8th, and I’m still waiting!

April 16th, 2022 - 11:31amAh, scratch that. I received mine this morning, and am pleased.
Alvin
March 3rd, 2022 - 8:49amI’ve just added the sets to my wishlist on Steelbook Central, I use their covers all the time for my steelbooks and I’m really pleased with them.
Silver Dalek
April 8th, 2022 - 4:43pmExcellent, which covers fit the steelbooks?
Alvin
April 8th, 2022 - 11:26pmI bought the SCF1 Steebook covers for my Doctor Who Series steelbooks, they also fit the animated Doctor Who steelbooks as well
Silver Dalek
April 9th, 2022 - 12:02amThank you so much.
daz
March 2nd, 2022 - 8:59pmThanks for the heads up. Although I bought some last year, these being a ‘tighter’ fit will be much better for my display.
When we eventually get some of the 60’s sets these are the only ones that wont fit if they are more than 8 discs. Hopefully they’ll design one to fit Season 2 when it is released too.

March 2nd, 2022 - 5:57pmWhats the difference with the seasons marked “loose fit”
Gareth Pugh
March 2nd, 2022 - 6:15pmWell, those 2 seasons’ boxes are the same width, so I’d guess it means that the protector boxes for those are ‘right’ for wider-spined season boxes like 14, 24 etc but have a bit of extra width / space inside with seasons 17 and 26. I suppose that matters if you like to have all your Collection box sets all tightly in a row – this would in effect leave some space/gaps between season 17 and 18, for example.
Anthony Fisher
March 2nd, 2022 - 7:39pmIf I’m not mistaken I’m sure the sets marked (loose fit) are the 7 disc sets so that’s probably why they are (loose fit)
May consider getting these to keep them nice on the shelf
