DVD plastic wrap that sticks to the spine of the case
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?

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.

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 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.
