Can't get it open... Justified S3

Just what the title says. I bought a copy of Justified S3 from Amazon and I can't get the slipcover to budge. I'll have to cut it off or return the set. I can only guess it somehow got glued to the case.
Anyone else ever encounter this?

It's not so Easy, is it? I guess you'd be justified in returning it...





Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing either.

Take it back to the shop and ask if they have a machine to pull it out.

Cut the plastic wrapping and slide the slipcover off.

I had the same issue. It really took quite a bit of work to finally get it to come off and keep it nice looking. I think I pushed the bottom of the case up one something while I slid the slipcase down.

Tear off the slip-cover, toss it in the trash, enjoy Justified season 3, which is amazing!

No kidding. Hundreds of DVDs, BDs and TV sets and this is the first time I've seen this. It was evidently glued to the wrap near the seam of the cover. I was finally able to cut it loose with a knife. Damaged the cover a bit but I'll live... it is about the content, not the cover. Still, a strange experience.

I had a title with this issue about a year or two ago, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. You literally could not get the slipcover off it was so tight. It wasn't a glue issue though...it was like the slip cover was too small or perhaps shrunk due to heat? Who knows.

That is what I did, besides S1 or S2 didnt have a slip cover, they all match that way.

Huh. Usually, for me, it's the other way around and the slipcover is way too loose and the dvd or blu-ray is constantly slipping out. Most notable, the steel cased T3 Ultimate Edition.

I actually remember getting quite frustrated trying to open that weird digibook packaging for Memento.

My blu ray collection is actually just a bunch of slipcovers. Would love to see a burglar's face rounding up that treasure.
