@Guiltybyproxy mantalab is planning to do seven steelbook this year hopefully they said!

Yeah the sleeves I have are a snug fit and with trimming the top flap off to just above the adhesive, sometimes I rip the bag taking them out lol. It took me a few tries to find the right length to leave, so I could easily pull them out but also to not leave too much leftover flap that it bunched up at the top of the slip. Oring and thinner full slips sometimes can bulge with a sleeve. @Kingpin got me thinking about things to use too. You could try that thin foam that is sometimes wrapped around tvs, computer monitors and electronics. Perhaps cut a piece to stick between steelbook and the booklet. And @45Caliber we've definitely moved from collecting steelbooks to collecting super cool slips and not worrying about what's inside huh lol. The days of just buying barebone steels are a thing of the past (rip play.com) ?

@FN-2187 Hey there man. I have noticed this and it bothers me a lot. I first noticed this on kimchi's the pianist a few years back when it was released. I was super ocd mint back then and boy did this freak me out. I am a big advocate of opening my steelbooks so these hairline, micro scratches were unacceptable. It happens from the booklets that the steelbook is sliding against. I have a solution for you. But this solution is kind of tedious, especially if you open your steelbooks in slips to use the disk. Since you mentioned Constantine, I'll use it as an example: So I use very tight fitting poly bags from a website I found. I trim the top part of the poly bag so it folds over really nice. The bags have the adhesive so they close. I then tape the bottom with a tiny bit of tape. It makes it so that the steelbook is almost factory sealed. I'll post a few pics for you. Hopefully this helps you. The bags are very tight against the steelbook that sometimes they rip when you take the steel out. Or its a hassle to get back into the bag. You definitely need some patience doing it this way. But no more hairline marks!!!! The bag is wrinkled in the 2nd because that's where the booklet rests. The 4th pic is showing where the poly bag is cut and folds over. If you'd like to know the place where I got the bags, I'd be happy to find it again for you.

Thanks for all the welcomes! Nice to be apart of the forum
