Default Do they snap easily?

Ok on my "Live free die hard, game plan, and casion royal" movies, the case requires you to open them by pulling the latch.

Do they break easily, cause my past dvds had that problem.

Do they have the unrated or "R" version of Die Hard 4 on Blu-ray? If not that is just crap!

nothing wrong with pg-13...If someone can make a movie without going to rated r with it...and its good...i take my hat off to them..
And i think live free or die hard is a good movie
And no i dont think they snap easily..there pretty good cases...but i only snap and open whenever im watching...i imagine it matters if you open and close it all the time maybe...

If you're talking about the snap on the side (one long tab to open) you can fold them into the case after you open them the first time. If you're not talking about that.... just ignore me.

The "Shift" key on your keyboard allows you to capitalize the appropriate words. It is located at the lower left on the keyboard.

As long as you're relatively gentle, the latches shouldn't break.

The DVD latched suck. I just rip them off now when i run into them. But on the Blu-ray discs, they are cool. Once you open the case, just fold the flap/tab in. You will find it is designed to latch into place folded in and stay out of the way. Now you can use the case like a normal case, open and close it like normal, and hardly even notice the latch cause it is folded in.

If you don't like them you can fold them inside the case when you open it. That is what I do with all of mine.

The movie was good, the problem with the pg-13 is that they overdubbed a lot of the dialog to remove the swearing. There are some scenes where it is just terrible. They screwed with the flow of the movie by doing it.

Also lower right hand corner.

Actually, the unrated version is where the dubbing takes place. I've seen both and while both have a couple syncing errors, they're a lot more prevalent on the unrated version.

I was all for the unrated at first, but it adds nothing but a few cheap CGI blood effects and some poorly-dubbed swearing.

Pull the latch open, open the shell, push the latch back inside until both ends click in place, close the shell and bingo, you never have to worry about it again.

I actually had this happen to a couple of my cases by accident, and I did not realize what had actually happened. Almost ordered replacement cases, because I was thinking that the tab broke off.

Wow I never realized you could snap that latch back into the case, I just pulled one of my movies out and tried it haha. I think I will leave it how it is though, the latch can be kinda useful.

None of mine have broken but if you're worried about that, just do what the others have said and push the latch in so that it's not used.

For the longest time I never saw a point to the latches. I had latches on my Star Trek V DVD back when the movies started to come out on DVD. I broke them off, I now realize why they exist. Should the case fall, the latches prevent the case opening and the disc falling out and getting scratched.

I didn't know that either, ha! I don't know if I'll actually do that to all of them or not, but it's cool to know that they gave us the option. Thanks for the tip!
