Dealing with Post-Steelbook Scratch Syndrome - Blu-ray Forum

How have you personally dealt with Steelbooks that get damaged and/or scratched to hell? Replacement? Coaster? Toss it? Weep in despair? Please, share your stories and experiences here.

I will start... I acquired The Dark Knight Steelbook from Best Buy today and when I arrived home, like the maniac that I am, I inspected it to be sure it wasn't scratched. It was pristine. I marveled at its beauty, until... I realized the FRIGGIN SPINE WAS LOOSE!

So, like any real manly man, I attempted to fix it. I put some super glue underneath the area that was sticking up and applied pressure for a while. Unfortunately, the apparatus that was used to apply pressure had left some pretty NASTY GOD DAMN SCRATCHES all over the area I was trying to fix.

It isn't loose anymore, but dammit, now it's scratched like a mofo in this one area and is somewhat of an eyesore. It's not a Shakespearean tragedy or anything but I've still been crying in my underwear for hours now, damning the Gods.

I'm sure a few of you must have some tales in regard to this topic. Anyone? Anyone? Try and have fun with it, even though it's a truly devastating topic.
