I folded about 1mm of each side to make them fit into doubles and 2mm to make them fit in singles. It was hard folding the first few covers, but once I got over that, it was no problem. I'd rather fold something that is barely noticeable (and only noticeable when you remove the cover from the case) then have to sell to make room. :D

You could get one of those slide paper cutters that also has an option for putting a crease in paper instead of cutting it. Most office supply store carry them.

How about a law that forces them to stop using these ugly blue cases... Come on guys, HD-DVD has been defeated, no need to mark yours blue.

I disagree with that. I like having an instantly identifiable case that sets them apart from DVD cases. I also think that the unique colour helps those who don't understand the different formats. I was in a local store a little while back and someone was asking about them & the shop assistant advised them that the easiest way to know which you're after is by looking at the colour on the shelf.

I'd personally hate for them to switch to black.

I do however agree with the OP & would much prefer that where possible, titles to be released in HD Slim cases.

I actually did that with the first few, but then went to folding. Faster cutting, sure, and it didn't really bother me to cut them, but I figured if I ever did decide to sell them to, say, SecondSpin, it might be better just to unfold them.

But, yeah, cutting is definitely a faster alternative.

Word!

About the described methods of torture like "folding" or "cutting": I could never do harm to any of these precious treasures.

Indeed the horror!

I never replace the case with another type. Only when the original case is damaged I will replace it with the same type of case.

I assure you, I used to feel this way and the first few were tough.

But when it comes down to a couple millimeters on a piece of paper or getting rid of DVDs, the choice was obvious.
