Slipcovers? Who Likes them?

I like slipcovers, only because they hold the shape of the case and the artwork better.

Slip covers are great!! They keep the dvd cover looking brand new even after 6 months. No more changing DVD covers when it looks bad or ugly.

sorry to ask..but i'm not sure..whatis "slipcover"....??

I hate to think of what you are doing to your DVDs that you need a slipcover to protect them to make them look like new after 6 months.  I have DVDs that are 6 years old that still look like new with no slip covers.

I don't particularly like them as they are generally flimsy and get destroyed way too easily and I am anal about keeping all the packaging that things come in.

I don't mind so long as they are shiny or has a slightly different look to the actual artwork on the DVD sleeve. Otherwise, it is pretty redundant.

I like them, even if I didnt though I dont think its something id complain about it wouldnt bug me. But, the only problem I do have is when they put big stickers on theM! I bought House of Wax and I liked the slip it had the girl a little 3D popping out of the page but in the right hand corner there was a big sticker saying Save $5 and I tried to get it off even with water but it ripped all the stuff underneath w/ it!(N)!

They look great to me but some I have found to be quite frail...

I love them!!! When buying dvds in the store, if I see a dvd I want that no longer comes with the slipcover because its older, and I know that it used to come with one, I'll look on ebay for one that has the slipcover. I don't mind spending an extra few bucks for it either.

I bought Total Recall off of Amazon, got it in without the slipcover, then bought one in the store with the slipcover (hey, its shiny!) for about 7 bucks, and sold the old one to a friend for about 4 bucks. So I lost a few dollars, but its worth it. I\'m a dvd perfectionist.

I wish they wouldn't cut the barcode out of the slipcovers as that makes them rip a lot easier when first sliding them out after bringing them home.

The reason they do that is because people had been replacing cheaper DVDs with more expensive ones. So if someone put, for instance, a $25 DVD in a splipcase of a movie that only costs $15, then that's what they get charged...

Personally, I don't mind slipcases, but as someone mentioned, when there are stickers, they're tough to get off. But, either way I don't care.

Slipcovers are great but one thing bugs me!! How they carelessly cut through the barcode on the back.  Sometimes they f*** up and rip through the spine

I noticed that as well. I own Unfaithful and have been tempted to take that slip cover for some reason... :p

I'm not much for slipcovers if they have the same art as the insert sleeve.   It's a waste of trees fora cardboard slipcover.  Sometimes slipcovers add to the design, but usually it is totally wasted.
