My goodness, does this guy know everything?!?!?

lol. I thought T Rexs don't exist anymore. so logic would require a Gorilla's hands.

Well, I've used the tabs properly ever since my first BD (c'mon guys, it's pretty intuitive), but sometimes the "locks" break anyway. I have a couple BDs (Live Free and Spiderman 3) in which the tabs remain open because of such flimsiness.

Grisle · 04-16-2008, 08:15 PM

I have a couple of cases with tabs that won't fold in...it's irritating, but it's isolated.

Blu Titan · 04-16-2008, 08:20 PM

I had to train my wife to open the cases with the tabs...since she broke two off them completely off

Anyways, the are a cast improvement over DVD. Now about those coffee book editions...

I bought the lookout from a user here, when I received the movie that sucker for a tab was long gone, LOL i just pictured him getting so fed up with it and just tearing it right off.

Using the tabs to get titles locked that the kiddies shouldn't be into.

Unfortunately, not all cases are created equal. Not all of them are made with the latches.

What do you mean, "you people"?!?!?!

What? We just never thought about it. Your four year old nephew must be a prodigy, I'd get him into a good preschool program.

It's just like putting a deadbolt on your door. It won't deter the really determined burglar from getting in. It makes it a bit harder and tells them yet again that they are doing something real bad.

fuad

So what do you do with the Blu's that are rated R and don't have latches? Or do you switch around the cases so all your rated R ones have latches?

They lock after you open them two or three times and then that's it. They break. One of the tiny, <1mm latches breaks off and then they don't hold. Does the entire tab mechanism - well, can it be removed entirely? My mini-case of OCD is driving me crazy about this, might end up buying new tabs for them or my impatience...

...will get the best of me.

LOL, I agree! I ripped off all the tabs until I saw that is was able to be folded into the case...DOH!!
