clear protective bags - Blu-ray Forum

nuttyhotspurs · 07-24-2012, 07:13 PM

hi can someone point me in the direction of some good quality protective bags to store my blu-ray cases in?

preferably with the sticky resealable strip on the body of the bag rather than on the strip (easier to get the case in and out)

i have searched the forum and cant find a thread about this. sorry if i missed it

Not sure it's exactly what you are after, but these are cheap as Hell and excellent quality.

I think the ones in the link are the ones I have. The sticky strip is on the flap but it works fine. There are threads in the SteelBook section.

nuttyhotspurs · 07-24-2012, 07:27 PM

cant really go wrong at that price can you? have you bought them yourself?

I have. Steelbooks even manage to fit inside them. I haven't had any issues at all with my goods sticking to the reseal either.

I only use them for SteelBooks. They even fit most of the card backings in too if you slide them in slowly. They are a little bit wide so what I do is just slide the SteelBook all the way to the side so that the spines can be read clearly. If you don't like them don't throw them away, I'm sure someone would take them off your hands and pay postage.

I think I paid about double that...

EDIT: Anyone know of any UK stores with this kind of adhesive plastic hub?

just be careful because I think some people who have used bags on their steelbooks have had problems with oxidisation

There was someone on about it in the second thread I posted I think. I've never seen any pictures of it happening and it's not happened to me yet.

im sure the vast majority of us take great care of them. however some people are more fussy than others. 'minor' shelf wear means nothing to some people but annoys others

Wes Blu-ray · 07-25-2012, 11:27 AM

eBay is the place to go for protective blu-ray wraps/bags.

Leterface · 07-25-2012, 06:30 PM

I remember seeing them sold on Amazon.de too, I think they were affordable.

Yh I dont mind wear and tear if its minor, the thing which matters for me is that the disc should be fine and working.

Nyle · 07-26-2012, 04:09 AM

SteelBooks are a collector's item so I hate any wear and tear at all. I don't care if my Amaray cases get wear though because they can be replaced.

VeZius · 07-26-2012, 05:16 AM

I think it's pretty obvious, that if you have steelbooks put next to each other on the shelf, there's gonna be some metal-to-metal grinding action. That's not fun for your valuable collectible Iron Man steelbook that you paid £200 for.

and no I haven't paid ridicilous amounts for any steelbooks, but I still like them protected. For example with a steelbook like Touch of Evil, which is completely orange all over, you can easily see the smallest of scratches.

Surely no one is going to use polybags for cheap amaray cases?
