View Full Version : Plastic Sleeves for G2 Steelbooks?

Earlier this year, I read an old thread on this forum about protecting steelbooks with resealable plastic sleeves. Which was an interesting concept I never thought of before.

I started out only collecting G1 steelbooks, so I ordered a set of resealable, DVD size plastic sleeves for them.

As I have a few G2 steelbooks these days, I went ahead and ordered the Blu-ray sized plastic sleeves from the same company. They are too small for the G2 steelbooks. So I was wondering what the other steelbook collectors here are using for their G2s.

I just use the same sleeve for G1 and G2, and a plastic box for my rare ones.

I use DVD size plastic sleeves - if it's to tight for steel then I cut out from one side.
I'm planing to buy plastic boxes from that guy (I have GB protectors from same seller):

I just use G1 sized sleeves and fold them tightly over the bottom. Can usually get a pack of 200 good quality sleeves for about £4.

i use those plastic sturdier G2 protector sleeves from retroprotection.com, i think there well worth the investment and do a much better job protecting from dings and scratches...retroprotection also has for NTSC US 3DS GAME BOX protectors, there custom sized plastic protectors for US version 3DS game boxes.

I've tried using the DVD size sleeves on the G2s but the seal strip is lower than the bottom of the cases so it doesn't seal too well and leaves a lot of extra "flap."

Yeah, fold the excess over the case and stick it down about half way down.

I only use the G1 sleeves as they work for both.

Might be a little unorthodox but I just prefer to use these between each of mine...

Hmmm I'll have to start investing in some of these I think, any suggestions for the best ones to use for Xbox 360 titles please?

Thanks!

These are the DVD size ones I use: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000Q1Q08Y/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1436327949&sr=1&keywords=dvd+plastic+sleeves

I think they're quite good but I don't have experience with any others.
