Hunh? I can only get three in mine? The top 1/3 of the tin there is an indent formed for the latch mechanism that prevents more from fitting.
Am I doing something wrong?

Well you can fit 2 more in but they go in kinda snugly i promise if you put the corner side in then kinda push on the round side it will push it in and it will not damage the UMD.
The tricky part is figuring out how to get them out. Once you get a hang otu getting a finger under teh umd to pull it out you are fine.

Hm. Yeah, I don't like that, so I'll keep mine at 3, two more seems too tight to me, like the UMD will break or something.
Here's another tip, I ripped a tissue and put it at the bottom so the metal tin doesn't scratch the bottom. I might cut out a piece of felt or something to replace this more cosmetically. With only 3 UMDs in this thing, it could also fit one or more memory sticks. Cleaning cloth is too big, though, just tried it.

Check that - cleaning cloth fits fine with 3 umds, headphones, alas, do not.

They hold 5 and you risk breaking your action, yo. They hold 2 nicely, any more than that and you'll have them wedged in there real tight. Don't belive the hype.
I agree though, they are a cool idea. I only wish there was something else to hold the UMDs in. I plan on poking around candy stores and hardware stores this weekend, lessee what I find.

Putting 5 in the case DOES NOT risk breaking any of the games the case is strong enough to protect teh games if you sit on it even with 5 umd's they will not break in this case.

FilmGeek - I hear you, but I still can't get 5 in there comfortably. I can't even get 4. Maybe there's a manufacturing inconsistency on these, as only a little more space and I could probably fit the 5. 3 umd's plus cleaning cloth is good enough for me though. Can even still fit 1 or 2 mem sticks as well w/ the 3 UMDs.

I've only tried Apple Sours (Red Tin), I know it says "sour" in the name, but they're a little too sour in my opinion. However, it's only sour for the first couple minutes, then after you suck the sour stuff off, it's sweet. Gee, that sounds really perverted.

My apple sours case fits 3 UMDs comfortably. I tried forcing a 4th in and it works but they are hard to get out. I didn't even try five, Im not willing to risk a broken UMD. I only have 3 games anyway.

What are the dimensions of these Altoids tins you use? I went out and purchsed 3 other varieties last night and came up with the same conclusion. 2 fit fine without touching the edges, then the top 1/4 inch of the tin indents in all the way around. Placing more than 2 forces the additional UMD's to touch the edges of the tin- not something, in my opinion, seen as desirable.
I could fit 5 in the tin by wedging 3 of them in, of course getting them out proved difficult without leveraging something underneath the top 3.
I'm wondering if the tin can be reshaped to conform to the UMD's shape, lid and all.
