This drives me crazy every time I pick up a new DVD and when I tear off the plastic wrap, some of it ends up sticking to the spine. Yesterday, I picked up Better Off Ted and Mental season 1 and both of them had this problem.

How do you guys go about removing the remnants of the plastic without damaging the case?

I have no tips for dealing with this, but I, too, hate it!

use "goo gone" it gets all the residue from the wrapping off very easily and efficiently without causing damage

I hate this too. It happens to lots of my BD titles, especially Lionsgate ones. I usually scrape the spine with a razor, very carefully, to get it off.

I've done this too, works every time! GooGone only works if there are stickers on the case that leaves a sticky residue after you remove it.

The heat from the seal usually ruins the case anyway, so I try to find one that is shrinked the opposite way, with the seal on the case opening. I guess they don't seal them this way as often, because it is easier to open & steal the disc.

i think i have read mention of using a hair dryer?

I thought that only worked on Outer Stickers?

I might have to try it though

Had this happen to me most recently with the new Silent Night, Deadly Night (3-Pack). Annoying as hell.

I usually scratch it with my nails but I think I try the razor blade thing.

I do the same thing. It gets annoying but it needs to be done . Is there a reason why this happens??

I sometimes get some scotch tape and press it on the leftover cellophane on the spine and wait a few moments and then peel it off with the scotch tape. It doesn't work perfectly but makes it acceptable. If I can't get the result I want, I'll replace the case.
