HA! Greatness...

Agreed, but for the record I leave it open about half the time probably.

rotfl

lmao.

For the record, I keep it closed.

Atreus wins best snappy answer to stupid question no-prize!

Well, at least I'm not the only one who thinks those things are dorky. I mean, who are they for? They're like highway signs that alert you that the Academy for the Blind is up at the next exit. :rimshot:

Anyway, to answer the OP's question seriously, I usually close my cases. Even for TV sets that come in digi-paks and slipcases. I'll put the digi-pak back in the slipcase. For keepcases, I'll usually snap'em back shut, except for those that have those little locking tabs. I'll close the case, but won't relock the tabs. As for taking extra energy to do all these steps, WTF? Are we all becoming THAT lazy???

Mad magazine?

Wow. What would you do if you had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

I also leave the case open until I'm done with the movie. And I do have a specific reason: Opening and closing the case produces wear and tear on the latches that keep the case locked. I figure I can extend the functionality of the latches if I close the case only when I'm done.

Best thread ever ...


... though ...

:nopics:

No doubt.

So thats why I only pop in this forum once in a blue moon anymore.:lol:

It depends on whether I'm in a "puppy mood" or a "Mr Orange mood".

It's all about the timing, but neither matter.

all your cases are belonging to us.

I place the case next to me so it can watch what it just gave birth to. Its very sexy.

I always close my dear cases when others are around. When we are alone, then and only then, I open up my cases.

Mad magazine had the snappy answers to stupid questions, but Marvel Comics had the no-prize.

I close it and put the case on my Now Playing stand.

That is downright hilarious!!!

There is no case...

Dillemas like this are one of the main reasons I stick to videotapes... and Jack Daniels.

NO! I always close the case whenever I remove a DVD, because if left opened, that will allow household dust, and other small particles to settle inside, and it may magnetise onto the disc when inserted.

Here ya go...

There's no such thing as stupid questions only stupid threads.

:lol:

I break the case and throw it away. Then I get out a new case from my supply and put the DVD in that.

It just seems wrong to reuse a case. Besides, Penn & Teller said I shouldn't recycle.

What's funny about this thread is that some of the real answers (especially using a "now playing" stand) are as lame as the made-up ones. Had I not seen pictures of those stands in the HT forum, I would have thought their mention here was a joke as well.

Agreed illennium.

I close my DVD cases as I'm watching something, or when a DVD is inside. There's no excuse to not close your cases as long as you want to take care of your DVD's. I mean, you spend money for a DVD, take care of it. Otherwise you may as well just rent the damn things, where you can be happy knowing you're sharing DVD's amongst a bunch of other slobs who returns discs with scratches and scuffs on a regular basis.

I know. That's what I was saying earlier. To expand on what I was saying is that shouldn't the people who are watching the movie *know* WHAT their watching? Why do you need the case in a display stand to remind yourself of what you're watching? Like I said, their like street signs for the Academy for the Blind.

Quite frankly, I think the *only* use for them is for dopes on DVD forums to take pictures of to post in HT threads to show people what's in their DVD player in order to impress folks. As if anybody else would care.

no one cares after all the effort I put into that? :(

Yes, love that Al Jaffee. Another great volume is -- "MAD'S Al Jaffee Spews Out STILL MORE Snappy Answers To Stupid Questions". :)
