I'm not just referring to those old snapcases which never seem to go away, or the crappy packaging used for the new Punisher extended cut. I'm talking about the annoying ass stickers on all 3 sides of the case, which at times leave glue stuck on the damn thing forever--ruining your case. Plus, your fingernails leave marks on the plactic sleeve when you try to peel those stickers, so you have to cut along the seem of the case with a box cutter to have any chance of removing them without marking up the case. Let us not forget when the insert is actually sticking out of the sleeve a bit at the top or bottom so those stickers end up on the freaking paper (and rip it when you try to remove them). Or the cellophane wrapping that's usually superglued to the spine of the goddamn keepcase and refuses to ever come off completely! What the hell do they have against regular shrinkwrap!? I've seen it on a few releases, but not many. :frowning:
Hell, I bought T2 Extreme a while back and the metal case was so tight that sliding it off ripped the plastic sleeve on the keepcase. That really pissed me off. I still haven't found a decent 2-disc keepcase to replace that one with.
I know I can't be the only one that likes to have my DVD cases still look like new after unwrapping them. Why do some of these companies screw things up so bad? I hate shopping for replacement keepcases. None of the ones I've found online ever seem to compare to the cases that the movies actually come in. They're always cheap junk with a lousy hub mechanism. I like the ying-yang style hub that most commercial keepcases have. I'd really like to find a place that sells those type of keepcases.
