Blu-ray keepcases with clear-plastic outer covers that are "wrinkled" look bad, but not as bad as they do on regular DVD cases. Those big black patch tags inside the keepcases also drive me crazy. Trying to peel them off is always a nuisance, especially the silver-foil "circuit boards" under the paper covering. Goo Gone works fairly well, but it's a mess to clean up.

Those little black-plastic security bars, otoh, usually peel off without any problems.

Only if it has the possibility of effecting the disks inside.

Doesn't bother me.

The hinges on my Dark Knight and Godfather cases snapped. It drives me nuts!

bmwone · 07-16-2009, 12:02 PM

This might be dup info for you guys but anyways...If the art is damaged most art can be gotten here. Taken to Kinkos and printed on GOOD paper.

My incredible hulk came with the corners broke, bothers me a little bit. lol

kevinokev · 07-16-2009, 12:45 PM

I used to be really anal about those things, I suppose if it were something I was really looking forward to I would be bothered. But in most instances I would simply swap the case with a less-awesome title that I already own.

jasonicus · 07-16-2009, 05:14 PM

I am extremely fussy about them. I remember getting T2 on DVD and accidentally ripping the back cover when I open it(even the plastic). I was horrified. I like to have nice looking cases, no matter what they are.

GregBe · 07-16-2009, 09:02 PM

OK, I am three for three now with cases that contain internal hinges for multiple discs. First Godfather, then Dark Knight, and now, my newly purchased Planet Earth. How frustrating to open up the case only to find the "pages" flopping around.

I'm very fussy, I bought Casino Royale Deluxe Edition but a sticky label was put on by the shop and when i went to take it off it tore part of the cover which annoyed me

I couldn't be bothered to take it back so I gave it to my uncle who was very appreciative...

joenostalgia23 · 07-16-2009, 09:38 PM

Speed Racer has a broken hinge, it really bothers me, but it's ignorable.
Iron Man has one broken corner, but the slipcover covers that up.
Reservoir Dogs' security tape wound up ripping the silver BD logo out of the case. That one was really annoying, but I replaced the case.
It's not a huge problem to me.

Abbotdog · 07-16-2009, 09:57 PM

I like my cases nice and neat as well. It seems that the cases that have the 3rd flap (the little tab on the open side) always break or dont stay in the clips that are designed to hold them. I snap the tab into the clips so they are out of the way and I dont have to deal with them anymore and the clip wont work. Whats the point of this 3rd flap anyway? Get rid of em

It also annoys me that the case for "the incredible hulk" is green

This actually wasn't bothersome for me, i actually thought it was pretty cool. The only case that I have ever received damaged has been "LOST" season 3.

Older Lionsgate titles have those secuity stckers that leaves stcky residue when peeled. Eco-Cases are also crappy, makeing the artwok easliy prone to damage. I also hate when I get a blu ray that has a damn razor mark through the spine,(sometimes slicing into the artwork!)maybe someone here knows what i'm talking about!

If it annoys you so much why can't you swap the green case for a blue case?
