I am still waiting for him to send the sleeves to me along with some blus.

Now I have to get a shotgun, go to Canada Zoo and shoot the resident tiger there!!!

How come there is no Smilies showing a man with a shotgun chasing a tiger????

Oh well, doesn't matter, it is only US$6. I will have to order another batch of 100. I hope the link on the first post is accurate now? Otherwise I will be skinning the tiger before I cook it.

Sorry about that man I just tryied to help and click the wrong line I guess...
Th link on my post is the right one now. I ensure you.

Actually I'm soooo sunburned if you have to skin me you won't even need a knife it'll come right off.

Don't you have 100 slim dvd cases you have to put sleeves on?

Sorry for all those who ordered the wrong sleeves because of me.
I'm only human and make mistakes once in a while.

Cheers,
Gui.

I just received the sleeves today and they are excellent. My only question are you guys using the tape strip or do you guys put a little piece of scotch tape to close the sleeve?

Cheers sepico.

In some ways I'm actually glad because at least I now know it's not just me who is struggling (in fact I've had various members of my family having ago)

No idea what others are doing to get their Steel's to fit in these wraps

Is their an optimum room temperature, perhaps you soak your wraps in a special liquid overnight

Seriously I've wasted about 15 of these blighter's trying to figure it out

If you are talking about the bags from shop4tech, I use scotch tape instead of the tape strip. It won't work if you use the tape strip, unless you fold the bag real loose like up top to get it to seal properly. I would rather have it fight snugly and just scotch tape it in the back.

jw · 07-28-2009, 05:01 PM

Yea, they should fit (14mm), maybe the seller sent the wrong size?

serpico77 · 07-28-2009, 07:29 PM

I have tried myself and they are too small, as soon as you try to put a steelbook inside then thay just split. These are made for US slim cases...

serpico77 · 07-28-2009, 07:34 PM

I have just placed each steelbook inside as they now fit like a sleeve so you can just remove the steelbook from the side where the rip is. They are more like a dvd salip case...

serpico77 · 07-28-2009, 08:54 PM

Definetly wrong size as they dont even fit standard dvds only US style cases...

Exactly the same problem I had.

The wraps are too tight to fit anything with a depth greater then the cases you mentioned. Plus the width is such, even if you could get the wrap on it's absurdly tight, hence the constant ripping!

Craig02 · 07-28-2009, 10:24 PM

@serpico77 the seller must have sent you the wrong size, Contact them about it to see about a refund/replacement

anomynous · 07-28-2009, 10:56 PM

I ordered the ones from the correct link and they fit fine
