Does anyone save the shrinkwrap?
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?

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
