Do you keep Slipcovers ?

[abbazappaplant]

I throw them away if they are shipped to me. If I see them on discs at the store, I'll generally take a key to each slipcover and scuff it up a bit. If I'm at a friend's house and they have pristine slipcovers, I clog their toilet.

[LoSouL]

Yeah. Never really thought about it before, but buying so many releases day 1 or while they're still relatively new on UHD got me paying more attention to them. When I don't get one, it is a mild bummer. I just got MVD and Arrow's Killer Tomatoes releases since they were finally at an ok price for me, but they're way past slip date and both were resealed. Oh well, but kinda bugs me.

You buy 4K’s?

Yes, unless it's an older one and it's completely trashed from age/shipping. I'm not obsessed with them, but I do like to have them for certain things... if I want a slipcover I'll buy it day one, if I don't care about it for that release, I will usually wait.

Exactly

[brainofj72]

My slipcoverage on my 4K collection is at 100%. At this point I probably won’t buy a release if it doesn’t include the slip ‘cause it would drive me crazy. (This only pertains to releases that originally included a slip. If it never came with a slip then obviously this doesn’t apply.)

[RustinCohle]

I would never.

Yeah, I have slips for most of my 4K's. Kinda hate the ones I don't have, and hate the ones that never had one even more.

If I buy Target 4k Exclusive movies than I definitely keep them as they are exclusive art just to target.

I keep Disney Signature ones because they have a nice shimmer to them

[bsandler32]

I try to get them for every release.

[postmodel]

If it comes with them I keep it, if it doesn't then it doesn't. But then picking up Nolan on 4K happened. I could never find the right price for the Prestige before it disappeared...so I imported it for a sweet price accepting the UK rating certificate. But it came damaged, and I didn't like that, so i reached out and was able to secure a pretty one.

Guess what? They just sit on my shelf though. There really isn't much else for them to do...though I imagine it's like a Toy Story situation with them coming to life when we are not home and I can just picture the pristine slipcovers taking charge and being kinda mean to the scuffed up slips, while somewhat accepting of those without...I mean you can't bash a case if it never came with one to begin with. But then what about those big sets on top of the shelves? Are they their gods? I just don't know man...none of us do...

In conclusion, I never get rid of a slip...it's a part of the package after all. Heck...I never even dispose of the inserts unless I sell a digital code.

4K slips in the US have generally been quite nice and a step up in quality from the equivalent standard blu versions. I enjoy the slick, glossy finish on the slips that studios like Warner, Universal and Lionsgate have been providing.

Honestly, they help give physical media a perceivable touch of class in an increasingly digital age.

I keep them for all my 4Ks, but I throw them away for all my blus, sort of a way to differentiate them.

They do make great kindling.

The fumes from the glossy print will definitely give you cancer.

[JEArgumedo]

I keep them, but I don't lose my mind either if Amazon or Best Buy doesn't have them. It's never been a factor in purchases.

[DR Herbert West]

Usually.

What doesn't though, amirite?

[Jonas17]

I always keep them. The only reason i wouldn’t keep a slipcover is if a part of the price tag stays stuck on the slipcover when I try to remove it

[thelwig14]

Not only keep but have to have perfect ones. I’ve also had 3 Slipcovers made by a member here to make sure I have a collection that is completely slipped.
