Oily Blu-ray Cases

[Leeon0]

This has been a problem with colorless DVD cases, especially the slim ones, which discharge onto the discs an oily secretion that sometimes turns to permanent cloudy spots on the discs. The Blu-ray cases fare no better in regard to the amount of slime they secrete, leaving a foggy film and unsightly circular smears on the inside of the cases. Fortunately I've been able to wipe the residue off the discs without a hitch--when it sticks to them, which luckily doesn't happen that often--courtesy of the BD coating, and I've been able to wipe off the residue from the cases with a soft cotton cloth and some elbow grease. But the residue returns after a while, and I find it annoying, especially as my Blu-ray collection grows.

I would like to see manufacturers produce dark-gray or black Blu-ray cases made out of virgin polypropylene with a matte interior, like the Amaray I or II DVD cases. Nothing sticky in those. DVD cases come in an assortment of colors. Why must BD collectors get stuck with oily translucent blue as the only option?
