Skin Your Discs!!! Yes, You Read Me Right.

Published on July 28, 2004 By Watson In WinCustomize News

A while back there was a news story about Bill Gates saying that cd's dvd's and video games would be obsolete by use of discs because of the scratch factor, but that is all about to change.

d_skin™ Protective Disc Skins™ are a totally new, totally necessary product that acts as a protective Skin™ for all your favorite discs. Once your discs are skinned, there is nothing to take off to play your discs, nothing to put
on when you store your discs — one product protects them all the time!

How do you use them? Just snap one of these onto your music, movie, game or data CD’s and consider them protected. The amazing Liplock Seal™ snaps onto the edge of any standard size disc and holds tight. Leave your d_skin™ Protective Disc Skin™ on while you play away — outside and inside your media players. Seriously. Your discs are totally readable right through the Skin™.
The beauty is, once your discs are skinned, if you scratch them, you just toss the dammaged Skin™ and snap on a fresh one. Your entertainment survives!

I like the idea though it hardly seems practical. At that $5.99 for five skins? Don't they realize I can get 100 CDs for 16 bucks and just make copies of all my CDs. And when the copies get scratched throw them away and make a new one?

Yeah, no thanks.

Well, I guess it might be good for expensive 19.99 DVD's.

Thanks for the heads-up D.

This was done a long, long time ago, but vanished...
There used to be a product that was a mylar type of film, or vinyl or some such and it worked like those static cling stickers. Came out and then promptly dissappeared. I seem to recall.

They're available at Best Buy too. I'm going to pick up a few that's for sure. If they're only $5.99 for five, that's a bargain for my DVD's. Or my WinXP Pro system disk.

Its not like you have to buy em. People will prboably buy 1 pack for burned DVDs or very important CDs, but music has CD cases, games are mountable images on a nice external HDD, and movies can go in another DVD's case

Trademark signs, overuse of exclamation marks and superlatives.

I think I'll pass.

Serious protection would be an extra layer of coating around the disks.

Okay this is how I view it. Sure it's easy to copy music and data with a burner but what about the PS2 , Gamecube, and XBOX games that you usually pay $49.95 for if they are the popular choices. To say that you wouldn't pay $5.99 to protect $250 in games is insane. I'm heading to Best Buy later to get tons of them.

Especially with the release of Halo 2, Need For Speed Underground 2, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right around tghe corner.

This sounds way too much like a tv add.

I saw a commercial for that on TV. I definitely need that for my PS2 discs (and any other ones I allow near my brother).

Just be careful with your discs... No need for a protective 'skin.'

I think it's a great idea: the price is worth it to avoid the inconvenience of having to replace damaged CD's

These may come in useful for blue-ray dvd's when the technology is released. You dont exactly want to loose 27gb's of Data easily...

Protection for cd's? What does everyone do with them? Feed them to the dog or write on them on the wrong side of the disk? Just be careful with your disks: always put them back in their boxes or sleeves and they won't get scratched.
My opinion on these protective disks: expensive rip-off.
