Still waiting.......

Does anyone know a good place to buy good fitting sleeves in the US?

Schrute Farms · 05-10-2013, 03:35 AM

I got my sleeves from Shop4Tech today. They are great for protection, but poor for display. They obscure the spine in such a way that I can't wait for my sleeves from blu-steels to arrive.

Hey guys- here's a quick update on the German "steel-shells" which I posted a video of before. I just wanted to show the correct way to assemble these as there was some confusion regarding the 2 folding tabs on the spine causing the steelbook to stick out from the sleeve a tiny bit. I hope this clarifies things...

KilloWertz · 05-12-2013, 04:52 PM

Aren't the Man of Steel shells and the German steelshells pretty much the same? They look identical without seeing a true closeup of the Man of Steel ones.

Also, why do they say they protect the spine? Three sides ones are supposed to leave the spine open.

I have some of the German ones, but they seem looser than the original two sides ones I got first. I take it steelbooks fight tighter in the Man of Steel ones judging by the one post.

I guess if they say they protect the spine, they are referring to the side of the spine that is opposite the open side. So when you slide your steelbook onto your shelf, that rear side is protected against the bookcase.
They may be comparing them to the type that have both spines exposed. At least these protect that 1 side which comes into contact with the shelf.

I ordered some from the man of steel on eBay. The shipping though is really prohibitive, pretty much doubles the price to ship to the U.S.

well worth it when you put them on...

VeZius · 05-13-2013, 02:26 PM

Is there any risk of scratching the steelbook with the man of steel cases? I mean when putting the steelbook in and taking out, any flaps or so it can scratch against?

Not fair haha. I ordered them late March and still don't have them. I'm pissed.

What's the best place to buy polobags for steels ( & slipped cases )??

jayson79 · 05-18-2013, 08:44 PM

anyone know of any nice hard cases that would house my rarer steelbooks safely that I keep sealed. The off chance that we get an earthquake or someone wants to pick it up off the shelf (no touching! lol). Preferably I would like a tight fitting hard shell I can even possibly place in one of the plastic steelbook display holders.

Maybe I am dreaming?

lol Incase of an earthquake .. just wrap them in bubble wrap and store em? or try to see if you can find the protective hard plastic shell that they currently use at target to prevent theft.

I wouldn't think so.

Toronto had an earthquake the same day I wrote that lol, didn't you feel it? cause I sure didn't..

Unfortunately my rarer ones are wrapped in bubble and boxed tightly and securely; they have been since their release days. I want to be able to display them or put them on the shelf but worries me how fragile they are.

I would definitely be down for a group buy in the gta here for anyone else interested want to combine shipping/get bulk discount, try out some of these soft/hardshell's for most of my steelbooks, except Iron Man, he stays in bubble wrap about 5 times as thick as the steel iteself. I've peaked at my favorite and greatest steelbook in my collection only twice in 2 years, scares me to touch it; I cannot afford to replace it lol.

dfoles · 05-27-2013, 03:24 PM

I haven't decided whether I want to go hard shell or soft. In the interim, mine have a piece of paper on every other one to keep them from scratching each other. It looks kind of funny, but it works for now:

The dark on on the bottom is a Tekken 6 metal pak.
