Default Wrinkled Cover Art?

Whenever you buy Blu-ray's or DVDs and the cover art is wrinkled do you go and buy a new copy or exchange it? Or maybe you didn't notice right away and the return window is past do you just buy another copy of the film?

I just leave it. The disc is what matters the most to me.

This problem is actually unique to North American Blu-ray cover's. If you've ever bought titles from Europe or Australia, you'll notice that they have thicker, better quality cases. I've never had any of them with wrinkled cases.

It kind of annoys me, but not to the point of double dipping.

Same here. I remember buying a used copy of Changeling and the artwork has water damage and is all wrinkled. Same with my copy of Green Zone. I got them cheap though, so I really can't complain. I find it funny that they're both Universal titles though. lol

Wrinkled case I could care less about, but a wrinkled insert would drive me nuts and I'll replace if I can for free or cheap. Sadly I can't do much about my Monster Squad, as it would be too expensive to replace. Still couldn't pass up a slightly ripped and wrinkled cover at the pawn shop for $5 after it was already OOP and going for 10X that.

I hate it. Can make a great release seem cheap and nasty on the outside. I never get it with local releases, only on those I import from the US. Being an importer, I'm just stuck with it unless I replace the case myself.

Nothing, because the cover art doesn't matter.

This is fairly commonplace with me whenever I import discs. I'm assuming it's something to do with the way in which they're sealed, or US Blus having thinner, lower-quality cases. It's unfortunate but I just shrug it off.

I never had a probably with the cover art but I have a couple of cases where the plastic that holds the cover art is all melted like that sat in an oven and as soon as they started melting, they took them out...

Sorry all, I was referring to the cover art, the wrinkles on the actual cases annoys me as well though!

The only times I have had trouble with the cover artwork is eco-cases.
Blu's and DVD's.
They are a pox on collecting.
