Customer Review: Spending $$ to Save $$
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not very good at taking care of my DVDs - I keep them in a binder instead of their cases, and sometimes they sit around on tables, bookcases, etc, for awhile before making it back to the binder. I hoped that the DSkins would protect my movies so that I didn't have to worry about replacing them due to my negligence. I'd rather spend a few cents per disk to keep them protected than have to shell out the money to buy a new copy.
I was initially worried using the DSkins because I have a MacBook slot-loading DVD drive and I was afraid the DVD might get stuck inside my computer. However, I underestimated my drive's performance and so far I haven't had a problem. I cleaned each of the DVDs before putting on the DSkin in order to avoid any debris getting trapped between the disk surface and the skin. My only issue is that there were a few small tears in the plastic around the center hole of several skins, but the tears aren't long enough to reach the data surface of the disk.
I have a lot of movies and only recently finished covering them, so obviously I haven't had a chance to test out each disc. However, if the performance I've seen so far remains consistent, I'll be well satisfied! I recommend these to anyone who doesn't always treat their CDs and DVDs with the care they deserve ;-p
Customer Review: Best thing since.... DVD's

These things are great... The only negative I have with these is that you must install them correctly. People who complain about them getting stuck in their dvd player or skipping usually have one of the following issues:
1. They are not installed correctly, the sides are very thin and if you don't have the lip around the whole CD, it can wobble or be unreadable.
2. They will not magically repair a dirty or scratched CD, and in a bad mechanism can be scratched themselves. Make sure your CD is clean and reliable BEFORE you put the skin on.
3. The skin is dirty. Handling the CD skin has the same repercussions as handling a cd. If you drop it, sneeze on it, have oatmeal on your hands, the skin will get dirty..
A GREAT invention... Everything I own has one of these on it. I can't afford to buy another copy of Shrek for my kids.

100% satisfied!!!
I read the reviews about some issues people had, but I didn't have ANY problems. The skins went on fast and easily (really easily!), and the DVD player read them great. Some DVDs that had already been scratched actually loaded and were read better than without the skins. We store our DVDs in a binder, and they fit in the slots just fine. No more worries about the kids watching their movies and not remembering to put them back right away. Some of the dskins did have little tears by the center hole, but these skins still worked without any problem.
I ordered some "sticker" type before and after the BIG fight to put them on, the DVD player wouldn't read them. I was SO glad to find something that works!!!!
I have an order in for more!
Customer Review: it all started with one order
Summary: 5 Stars
and now we have these on all our cds...yup thats right i have put like no kidding over 400 of these on so yep they work and yes they can be a tight fit....I have had to toss about 3 or 4 out of every 50 pack as sometimes the tabs are not correct. But this seems trivial so I can't knock them...just a great idea and really they have saved us money over and over again from scratched cds.......
ps if you have an collection and need to bring it up to speed with a little tlc then check out the DVD Repair Machine / Kit and when your done skin them to prevent any further damage.
Customer Review: Worth the Money!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a user of D_Skins and I highly recommend them for use on most all discs. I have encountered a few discs that wouldn't play well with one on, but those are few (and usually because the skin was messed up). They do have a few drawbacks (minor). 1- you can't use them on 2-sided discs, 2- not all DVD players will read through them. I own a good Magnavox and have had no trouble with this. My parents own a Sanyo(low-end model) and I have to take the skins off to play them on that machine. Otherwise, D_Skins are well worth the money, especially if you have kids!
