Best way to protect our SteelBooks™ - Blu-ray Forum

DutchBoy · 01-29-2009, 07:47 PM

Sorry if I missed another thread with the info, but seeing as how I now have 4 myself (and am actively pursuing several more) I wondered if you guys had any suggestions as to how best to protect these while in our possession.

I know that they're notorious to scratch and what not -- any suggestions? How do you guys keep yours protected and looking pristine?

Thanks!

poly sleeves are a great thing, plastic baggie that protects it

Seconded. I did a quick google and came up with not a whole lot (most of the polys I saw were for single discs). The only site I saw that sold polys that would hold an entire DVD jewel was bagsunlimited.com.

Any site you can recommend?

Thats the size you need, ask denuyl, he sent me a 300 with a heavier bag than I use, may be better

These might be good -- although I'm always leery of going with a site I'm not familiar with, but it's all I could find straightaway.

These are a perfect snug fit for Blu-ray SteelBooks.

Don't get the resealable ones as they are too tight.

Perfect!

Good to know I found just what you would recommend. Thanks!

I got these and I am very happy with them. The only downside is that Blu-ray SteelBooks are too short to use the resealable tabs. I use a scotch tape to keep the bags closed. They are otherwise perfect. The thickness of the poly is similar to comic book covers.

Good stuff. Thanks for the additional option.

They are cheaper, but they don't appear to take PayPal (swings it the other direction). But I DO appreciate it.

Thanks for the link, I'll be buying a batch of 100 here shortly!

DutchBoy · 01-30-2009, 04:26 PM

Thanks for all the good information everyone. It makes me feel a lot better about ordering these now that I know I can keep them in decent shape!

victors · 02-04-2009, 08:36 PM
