How do you protect GC Games?
I know there are D-skins for regular sized cd's and dvd's but I am wondering if anyone knows of someway to protect GameCube games. I have two children and these disks end up being coasters after a month or so. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I keep them in the case that they came in, but the ones that I play alot or take with me on vacation, I have one of those zippered-mini-disc cases with the Nintendo logo on it. Got it for $5 on sale at Wal*Mart one year.

Thanks SmartA$$e$!
Someday when you have kids, you will understand why I am asking this question. For a 4 and 6 year old, they do a pretty good job picking them up by the sides and putting them back in the case but they are still young and these are not the glory days of cartridges.
I also HATE scratched disks.
Thanks for those who suggested the zipper idea.
But I am still looking for a solution to keep them scratchfree. Any thought comercial solutions?

Again, it's not that they aren't putting them back...it's that they are very young. D-skins solve this problem for full sized cd's. They never get damaged...period.
It seems that no company has produced anything like this for GC yet.

Well, if you know what you want, and they don't make it, I would venture to guess you are out of luck.
My nephew (4years old) manages the discs fine for his cube, so maybe your kids are almost at the age where it won't be a problem in the future. Goodluck.

I don't know much about those D-skins, but could you cut them to fit a GC disc?

I just keep them in the original case. My son has been playing my CD based games since the 3DO and Sega CD when he was 5 and he has always been good about carefully putting the game back in the case when done. I'll teach my daughter the same thing when she starts playing Putt Putt and Sesame Street on the 3DO in a year or so.

Isn't it a clear plastic applique? Can you use a exacto knife to cut it down to size?
My only other suggestion is they can't touch the games. When my siblings come over they cannot get the game themselves; they need to ask me first and I will load and unload them.
