Do you use plastic sleeves to protect slipcovers? - Blu-ray Forum

Just a poll, I was curious if you guys used plastic sleeves for your slipcovers or do you just avoid them?

No.

A slipcover for a slipcover?

No. I love my slipcovers and keep them in good shape, but my obsession stops there.

I didn't until a few months ago when I started collecting steelbooks, bought 100 polybags and after using them on my steels had 80 or so left and just started bagging up my favourite slips and before I knew it I had gone through them all, ordered another 100 and now only have half a dozen left lol

No, I'm very meticulous with my movies so no need. I do however bag steels. Careful or not sliding them in & out of the shelf I'd hate to scratch the paint.

That's how it started for me.

Majin Blu · 10-15-2013, 09:51 PM

Nah.

moc.yar-ulB · 10-15-2013, 11:40 PM

Yep, I use them for my slipcovers, slipcases and SteelBooks.

I take all my slips off from purchase. I have them stored in an amazon box. I have hundreds that I could care less about. The OCD in me keeps them, but other than that I don't know why. I would never go as far as to purchase anything to protect them...ever. I wanted to sell them on eBay but my wife says it will be too much trouble just to make a few hundred bucks.

Couldn't... COULDN'T care less.

Think about the logic of what you are saying.

Thanks, really cuts down on shelf wear. The cases slide right off and the slip stays in the plastic. When the rest of my Scream Factory orders come in, I'll take another pic of a more complete collection.

Updated, had to move to a different shelf due to growth from current Scream sale.
