Out of all the stickersbook Dead island was the worst. it fell apart so easily, I had to get 4 copies to get a mint one.
That's not to say all stickerbooks are bad. Saints row 3 was much improved.
If I had the choice I would choose a proper steelbooks but if there isn't a choice. It wouldn't put me off from buying it, wouldn't matter if G2 or not.
The biggest factor for me when purchasing unsealed steelbooks is the price, I will not pay anymore than £25 for one. Which so far I have kept to.

Interesting.
All of the G1 Steelbook stickerbooks i've purchased have been in perfect condition. As soon as I receive ANY Steelbook, outside of some that may come in CEs or come sealed already, I immediately put it in a G1-sized protective sleeve.
With all of the unsealed G1's that i buy (and there are a lot of them, Micromania and FutureShop exclusives for example) i make sure i get a seller who is going to sell only a pristine/perfect condition one, and then just seal it in a sleeve right away. Never had problems with any of my purchased Steels getting scratched/dented or stickerbooks peeling, since i always protect them accordingly.
