Thanks. So the people who own Steelbooks are suing because they basically own the patent for "metal storage containers" for DVD's/Blus. I guess this really can't end well for Viva since it does appear to be a clear infringement
 
Sounds like they are done:

"The Court permanently RESTRAINS AND ENJOINS Defendants Viva Magnetics Ltd. (Hong Kong), Viva USA, Inc., Viva Media Packaging (Canada) Ltd., Viva Metal Packaging Ltd. and Viva Media Packaging Ltd. (collectively, “Viva defendants”), their duly authorized agents, servants, employees, and all others in active concert or participation with the Viva defendants from (a) infringing the following United States patents of plaintiff Glud & Marstrand A/S (“G&M”): 7,051,872; 7,232,032; 7,350,642; and D562,049, and (b) making, using, offering to sell, selling and/or importing (i) the Viva Metal Box for Blu-Ray and DVD products accused of infringement in this action, and/or (ii) the Digital Versatile Disk (DVD) case accused of infringement in the 2005 action between G&M and some of the Viva defendants."
 
I don't have a preference, though I do like the embossing touches that Metal Box's added, and that the spine was made of metal and not a sticker.

Personally I thought the Viva Metal ones were a little sturdier which I liked found it easier to get them in good condition (spines mostly) then the Steelbook brand
