Anyone else as anal as I am about taking care of Blu-ray cases - Blu-ray Forum

Kaiju · 01-02-2009, 06:47 AM

My friend picked up my copy of Rambo yesterday and put it in my Blu-ray player. The disc was fine but when he left I noticed a fingerprint on the inside of the case. I'M WEIRD OK I KNOW, but I can't stand that stuff!!

I just needed to vent.

JUDGEMENT 4400 · 01-02-2009, 06:51 AM

I get my pop a coaster whenever he puts his beer on a Blu-ray I'll have on my desk.

Blu_Ray_Fan · 01-02-2009, 06:54 AM

I might not be THAT anal, but I'm anal enough people DON'T BORROW MY BLU'S! What I do hate is when you have the glue left on there from the security tape. That pisses me off, then the cases stick to each other etc..

gocougz05 · 01-02-2009, 07:00 AM

I'm the same way... would never word it that way though. ha ha... and i don't give a !@#$ about fingerprints, but I bought a used blu-ray on ebay and the plastic cover on the case was torn to shreds. It was the first season of Prison Break, so I couldn't just buy another case for it... So I sold it to someone else and informed them of the horrible rip. (I need to buy that one still)
Oh and just recently I got Planet Earth (FINALLY!!!!), but got it home and the disc holders were busted, so I exchanged it for another.

FIDDYPOP · 01-02-2009, 07:04 AM

I also hate that glue sticky residue on the cases. So the cases that have the strips on top sides and bottoms are the ones that have that residues so I just use a box cutter and slice those open.

alienofwar · 01-02-2009, 07:10 AM

I hate it when the corners of the cases are chipped and there is a little hole. I also hate it when I'm trying to get the security tape off and I damage a little bit of the plastic cover. Physical damage always bothers me, but finger prints and dirt....not so much, I''ll live

I'm anal now that I don't let anyone borrow my Blu-ray's. Because I had a large collection of DVD's and at one time my home looked liked Blockbuster, friends were always borrowing stuff and never returning them. And when they did, the cases were damaged and because I was loaning them out to a few other people, those who did borrow would say "maybe it was someone else that borrowed it, not me?" crap. Knowing quite well that they were the ones that borrowed it. One time my wife lent out a box set of a TV series to a friend, the friend returned it back a year later and the boxes were destroyed. She lent it out again to another friend and after a year of asking them back, she lost them and in return, she gives us like $60 gift card for Starbucks.

Well, I guess it could be worse... my neighbor has all the guys on our neighborhood wanting to borrow all his expensive tools and stuff and they return them back late.

Kaiju · 01-02-2009, 07:24 AM

OH! I have another story...I got my copy of Dawn of the Dead from Amazon Monday and when I opened it up and right after I took off the top sticker, I noticed it was a BD case that has the cheap "Blu-ray Disc" print logo on it...the problem was the sticker wasn't a normal Blu-ray sticker that has the two folds in front, it was like a normal DVD sticker, AH!! So now the Blu-ray Disc logo has stuff missing from it. I dunno, I thought that was pretty bad luck.

Listen carefully dude, when this happens what you need to do is buy a chainsaw and when those borrowing friends come you lure them inside and you chainsaw them into many pieces.
Oh and this is very important: you must remember to carefully cut off their arms and legs or they might just come back to life and continue borrowing. I know this is not easy but you must be strong.

nycomet · 01-02-2009, 07:37 AM

I am SOOOOOO anal as well. I hate sticky residue on the case. How your friend got a finger print INSIDE your Rambo is a mystery to me. Was he eating pizza and didn't wash his hands before inserting it? From now on tell your friends to keep his hands off your stuff. Next time he wants to watch one of your blu-rays tell him you will just have to put it in yourself.

alkalinesi · 01-02-2009, 07:50 AM

when im buying blus i check the cases, if theres a dent ill go for the next one. last week target had hellboy2 on sale for $22 and it was the last one, i was gonna buy it until i noticed the slipcases hologram picture was a lil crooked so i put it back.

Geez, all you have to is clean the case with tissue or something. It's not that hard man, you can do it!!

kndy · 01-02-2009, 07:53 AM

OK, I have one exception and that is if you have a newborn who is teething and can crawl. Fortunately my son is five now but I remember when he was a baby and I would find some of my cases with these teeth impressions. Hehe...

As for sticky residue...oh....I got to show you this....

I ordered a DVD online and it came like this...some glue like residue all over it or perhaps tape or something. I couldn't get back my money because the person stopped their account and it's partly my fault as well because I order too many DVD's (and now Blu-rays) online that by the time I watch them (3 or 6 months or a year later), I discover too late that it may be messed up. So, I inspect everything I order now as soon as I get it instead of expecting everything I get will be fine.

iFresh · 01-02-2009, 07:54 AM

Anyone know where you can buy empty blu-ray cases? I'm talking about the exact same cases as the movies come with. The ones on Amazon are terrible - different shade of blue, bigger, more square, etc.

Blu Titan · 01-02-2009, 07:57 AM

I hate it when my wife handles the movies. So, I always take care of the HD equipment and the Blu-ray movies.

So shall we all simply say: CASE closed?

HAMP · 01-02-2009, 09:08 AM

I let a friend borrow a blu-ray, which I will never do again. I have no idea why I let him borrow that one.

When I got it back, the paper was wrinkled from being wet(I had bad thoughts about that).

Then he made a comment and I was scared to look at my own disc.

He said "It's true that new coating on the blu-ray, it's alot harder to scratch and scuff-up", "The kid is proof of that"...

When he say "The Kid" he is talking about his 4 yr old son.

I did not ask what he meant, I just said ok, I gotta go!
