Annoying Blu-Ray Cases - Blu-ray Forum

pEgLeG · 11-01-2008, 05:18 AM

I do indeed HATE THIS. I admit, I have gotten increasingly more efficient at taking them off without causing too much damage, but in the beginning it was hell. I can't remember a lot of the titles that I've had this prob with since I have secretly exchanged them with an unknowing family member (the cases not the titles) he he he

But I can tell you the most recent. It was The descent. I'm actually proud with this one though, as I managed to get it all off with zero damage to the plastic, and only minimal residue. I developed a technique that I'm sure is quite commonplace, use the sticker to get the excess glue off. You have to hold it tight around your finger and kind of do a roll and slight twist at the same time. It might take a little experimenting but you'll get it.
Hope this helps

Yep yep! That's what I do too, but with some Lionsgate releases it still doesn't help. They must be using super glue!

I have only had this happen with the bluray movies that had 3 security stickers. My solution was buying extra bluray cases off ebay...

Well I finally got it working....I bowed East towards Mecca, turned in circles 3 times, and prayed to the Blu-Ray gods (and turned the player off and on, reset the HDMI cable several times etc.) and was able to get a picture again.

Great movie on Blu btw (The Thing).

Luckily in Australia we don't have those stupid security stickers.

No, but you also have 2/3rds of the world's most deadliest animals/insects.

Luckly in U.S.A. we dont have those stupid large rating classification logos

Some of the early releases had a tough glue that was hell trying to remove. However, this is something that is no longer an issue in my opinion. You just gotta be careful and gently lift the sticker on the hard plastic edge not the sleeve.

i had that problem w/dvd but not blu. i have yet to open a blu and leave any residue or rip the plastic.

lol. I hate those. I thought America was strict on making people aware of ratings. Unfortunately we have HUGE FBI Anti-Piracy warnings on cd cases now. Half the back cover on some cases.

You can avoid the sticker pooh problem if you slice the sticker down the center in between the cracks where the case opens. They actually sell little black handle things that have a tiny razor that cuts it for you. If you open them this way it seems to prevent leaving sticker pooh somehow.
