Disc sleeves for 4K UHD (1 Viewer)

[John*Wells]

If you buy a disc that comes in a case and also has a sleeve, do you keep the sleeve? I don’t. I usually just keep the disc in its case. Is there a reason for keeping the outer sleeve?

Are you talking about the slipcover like the one below? If so, yes, I keep them just because it better protects the disc case.

I bin/recycle them. The only reason I would consider keeping them if I thought a potential resale would benefit.

 

[JohnRice]

I always keep the slipcover.

Yep. That’s what I was referring to. I’ll. Consider keeping them going forward

Post this comment on certain other Blu-ray forums and they'll drum you out for heresy.

I see them as an extra impediment to getting to the disc. I only keep a select few on there, if they have a nifty design or something unique. Otherwise, I have most of them stored in a desk drawer. And I have thrown a few away. (Which should cause some heart attacks on those other forums.)

Throw away the slipcover. Redeem the digital code. Rip the disc. Put the cased disc in the bookshelf in a side room and never look at it again.

Protect the case from what?

Anything! I even keep the plastic wrap on the slipcover with only the top or bottom cut away. I'm weird that way.

That was their original design purpose - it would help stop retail theft by making the product take longer to steal, which made it not worth it to some would-be thieves, and made it easier to spot others. That’s why they were initially limited to the first pressing; even at the height of its popular, old catalog titles on DVD weren’t getting stolen at the rate this week’s new release was. That they became collectibles was an unexpected side effect.

I bin the digital code slip as well.

I keep the slipcovers of course, and not only that, I keep the J-cards -are they called?- from steelbooks and other blu-ray releases. I don't throw anything away.

I keep everything that comes with my movie discs, too. I've kept 100 or so code inserts for digital copies that I can't even use because I'm in Canada and they're U.S. imports with digital codes that won't work here. The latest one was for the 4K "Love Actually", which wasn't released in Canada if you can believe it. I'm saving all of my U.S.-only digital codes for Josh Steinberg if he ever drops by, but don't tell him. I want it to be a surprise.

I keep all the stuff that comes with the purchase- slipcovers, digital code sheets
(never have used the codes), etc.

You would have been a good collector of Muse / Hi-Vision discs - always keep the sticker and the Obi

Your secret is safe with us, sir.

I keep slipcovers that have different artwork from the case, especially lenticular ones for 3D releases. Otherwise, they're just taking up valuable shelf space. Into the recycling bin!
