Default Best ideas to clean price sticker goo off..?

Greetings!
I'm looking for ideas by which I can SAFELY clean the sticker price goo off my DVD/Blu-Ray cases. I'm pretty anal about displaying them and I HATE IT when I can't completely clean off the "sticky" from the tags. I use my wife's hairdryer to warm the tag up before I remove them which works about 80% of the time. The rest of the time I end up pulling 2 dvds out at once when I try to slip one out of the display case. I worry about damage, so I'm hoping for some GREAT ideas! How about it, people? THANKS ahead of time!

Goo gone + warm water

or

Hairdryers held up against the sticker....makes it easy to peel them off, and then goo gone to clean off any residue left behind.

heat it up, peel it off, take sticker and keeping dabbing goo until its gone, Thats one trick I know.

Rubbing alcohol is another but anything stronger will remove ink from cover art

I just take the original sticker that I peeled off, apply it to the sticky stuff, and then rip it off again (not literally rip it off). Just keep sticking the sticker on and off and it will grab all of that glue safely. If the sticker wears out, just use scotch tape.

I've also found this very effective but I've never tried scotch tape at the end. I usually rub on the residue with my thumb after rubbing it on my nose and greasing it up with my natural Italian complextion

That or Ronsonol Lighter Fuel. Yes it is for this also, it even says so on the package.

Lighter fluid, like for a zippo, has always worked best for me.

Only thing I don't like about Goo Gone is this weird thing it leaves behind which I have to buff off like this weird oil thing.

Cooking spray, such as Pam, also works well.

As stated above... goo gone.

As of lately, I have no problems getting stickers off. I think I mastered the art of taking off sticker prices.

I have found that Goo Gone takes away the gloss on some surfaces. It is easy to use, but I think WD-40 is best. It is a little more work, but I think the end result is better. I used Goo Gone on a football helmet the other day, and it completely removed the glossy sheen on the helmet.

This stuff trumps all in the "removes anything from everything" category. The smell will get you but I've yet to find something it doesn't work on.
