Hope I have this in the right place. I'd like to get some hard cases for my more valuable steels. They seem hard to get. A seller on Ebay Germany is selling them, but won't ship to Canada. but was unable to get any. Can anyone help?

I finally got some clear slipcovers from Protected.de. Only a small portion of my Steelbooks so far are open, but I took some pics of the same side-facing Steels on my shelf in baggies and in the slipcovers (sorry for the glare).

Steels with Poly bags ...

Steels with Protected.de slipcovers

One thing to note is that the Protected.de slipcovers are slightly wider than the poly bags, so fitting the same amount of Steels on a shelf is a tight squeeze, so for now I am opting to fit one less on each shelf.

Also, Protected.de makes DVD/ G1 sized Steelbook slipcovers which fit normal DVD cases, too ...

Thanks Owl for these shots!

So, the Star Wars are just the regular DVD's from the Protected.de site? I really like your display here.

In the second pic, which ones are in the protected.de bags - Superman/Degeneration, or Resident Evil 1-4, Salt, and Sin City?

Those poly bags in the first pic look simply hideous...

Has anyone used the protected.de ones for Viva Metal Box yet? Do they fit well?

I have it on my Real Steel [CN] (BluFans) and it's actually a little loose. If you want it a little tighter I would use the slip that came with and have it on there and then slip on the protector.

I am looking for better quality plastic sleeves, not the poly sleeves as they are a little too thin and some steels I have still sustained missing paintmarks on the bottom of the case. Anyone know anywhere thats reasonable and delivered cheap to the UK?

Yes, those Star Wars DVDs use the DVD size slips from Protected.de. Thanks for the kudos.

In the second pic nothing is in poly bags. The first pic the Steels are in some other company's poly bags, and yes, they look awful! I like the way the protecte.de slips make the spines look, but I don't like the lack of shelf wear protection on the bottom of the Steel. Now what I do is wrap the Steel in the Protected.de 14mm poly bags (perfect fit for G2 Steels and best looking poly bags I've seen) plus a sleeve.

What would really be awesome would be slips/ sleeves like the one from Protected.de but with coverage on the bottom. Maybe a side loading or top loading design would work, but I've never seen it.

Thanks for that explanation! I guess the lesson to be learned here is that until they offer a sleeve that covers top and bottom, no one option seems to stand out amongst the contenders.

could you give link from protected.de items for dvd steels and blu-ray steels (no slip cover)

I don't see the sleeve item !

5 € for 10 pieces it's quite expensive isn't it ?

thank you

 

[joswin93]

I need just 5 jumbo sleeves for my up, monsters inc, Jurassic park Ect

If anyone can help

How to care for SteelBooks?

Hi

I don't intend on keeping mine under lock and key and want to enjoy them but I also want to try and keep them as pristine as I can.

Any tips from the forum on protecting SteelBooks?

Cheers

 

[Colombianlove41]

Polybags work. They keep dust and scratches off.
Accessories for steels

Hope this helps

 

[OxfordNick]

Thanks mate. Good tip.

customised steelbook shelving ??

What does everyone keep there steelbooks on/in ?? Especially to stop them scratching ??

Please add pictures

Im creating a shelf but it wont hold many and has spungy foam as dividers to stop them scratching or bumping each other (hopefully it wont look too bad). I will put pics on here too when its finished.

Any ideas where/if you can buy shelving specifically for steelbooks ??? - im not a fan of the clear plasic sleeves nor having them scratched to buggery.
