Hey people,

I am, since today... Became the proud owner of a un-damaged Saint's Row steelbook edition, but now I was wondering how to take keep it safe, I am keeping it wrapped in my favorite t-shirt but I was wondering if you guys know anything to keep it safe.

And I have access to a sealing machine at work, that might give you ideas or anything.

You can buy little plastic slipcovers for them :) They're really good xx

I saw them for blu-ray steelbooks, not for dvds though :(

Hmm, might be a good idea, but does the temparature affect the manual/disc?

Resealable wraps come in a variety of sizes.

1) DS, DSI, Soundtrack CD, etc
2) DVDs, Blur-rays, steelbooks
3) Jumbo Steelbok and smaller CE's
4) etc.

Here are some dvd ones: http://www.ebay.nl/sch/i.html?_nkw=dvd+wraps&_sacat=0&_odkw=dvd+wikkelen&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Most of the plastic cases have small vents to prevent condensation, not all though. There shouldn't be any increase in temperature unless it is put in direct sun light.

The loose steelbooks I have (not part of a CE) are stored in those DVD slip covers.

I don't think I'd go to the trouble of an acrylic case though. :roll:

I really depends on the game and the value. for games that are very high in value, full acrylic casing is worth while.

99.9% of my games are protected by the plastic wraps only.

The best protection, is to avoid other human beings from getting near your collection. Don't let anyone else touch your games. Accidents do happen I've seen and experience it over and over again.
