Never really thought about keeping them on before. But I usually take the shrink wrap off. For most DVDs you can get a replacement case.

Snowmaker

Even the Digi-pak ones?

Mr. Cinema

I don't worry about the packaging because the disc itself is the only thing that is important. If my cases show wear-n-tear, I don't give a shit. I buy for the movie.

I never do this, seems kinda frivolous.
I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't

The Void

I did this only once with the Alien Quadrilogy just because the box was such a piece of crap.

The shrinkwrap comes off as soon as I get home, when I open it to check the disc for damage.

For my X-Files box sets, I carefully cut the shrinkwrap along 3 edges of the top so that it turned into a flap, and I could slide out the thing that holds all the discs. This way the slipcase remains protected, too.

Anyone else do this?

Mike Lowrey

No, I don't, but I pull off the shrinkwrap and keep it in piles scattered around my room. I'm an interior decorator on the side, you see...

wendersfan

No...

matome

No.

mifuneral

I use it to keep the aliens out of my brain. I didn't realize it could also be used to protect my slipcover

Miyazaki

It's garbage.

Cameron

and shrink wrap does just that...shrink. back in the days of vynil records this was a big problem. If you leave the plastic on the sleeve, it could warp the record after a period of time. Thats why they sell heavy duty plastic to protect record sleeves now. Not saying that this isn't anal, but just throwing it out there.

djones6746

Nope...goes in the trash.

scottall

I save it so that I can rewrap and melt it later to sell used dvds as new on ebay.

MrE

LOL

roger_d

For box sets and also where the dvd comes out of any cover i do cut it on the sides as you do to protect the cover.

Maxflier

No.

nemein

I used to do it w/ VHS tapes (just cut out the bottom to slide the tape out but leave the rest to protect the cover) w/ DVD cases it just doesn't work out as well.

canaryfarmer

God no.

dadaluholla

You open your dvds???? If toy collectors have taught us anything its that you have to keep things in their unopened packages for them to be worth anything!!!

marty888

No, I don't save the shrink wrap. But then, I'm the sorta guy who also throws out empty soup cans and the cardboard rolls from toilet paper.

buckee1

Umm...no.

steebo777

Hells nizzo.

I wrote a script about a deranged guy who broke into people's homes to steal the shrinkwrap off unopened DVD's. He then sewed the pieces together to make scary clown suits which he wore to crash neighborhood children's birthday parties and terrify them.
