If the d_skin Protective Disc Skins work as advertised, they look like an indispensable product. The idea is simple: the d_skins are clear, thin discs that clip onto the outside of CDs and DVDs with a “Liplock Seal,” guarding them against oil smudges, stains, and scratches. The cool part, though, is that you don’t have to remove the d_skin to play the disc in an optical drive, meaning you can abuse the disc as much as little as you like, and it will remain readable. If the d_skin gets screwed up, it’s a simple fix – just throw away the old one and put on the new one.
My only issue is price, because I’m a penny pinching bastard, and because I tend to think of things in all-or-nothing terms. Right now the MSRP is $6 for 5, which isn’t horrible, but still a little too expensive to use on all of my discs. I’d like to be able to buy 50 at a time for less than $20, and then treat them like the little data condoms they are.
There’s only one review online that I see that’s worth a damn – it’s on UGO, though, so when I say that I mean “appears to be in English” – but they say they work, and that’s all I need to know.
