As a hard core CD, DVD and game collector I am constantly in fear of the integrity of my collection. Scratches are the biggest enemy of CD media and I have become so anal about handling it that my wife and I have had some rows about this. I would always berate her for not holding the CDs or DVDs or just carelessly plopping it in the tray. I know that I should lighten up but I know that any collector would also feel the same way so although I may feel apologetic for my behavior I know that my paranoia is not unique or unfounded.

I recently came across a product that may benefit obsessive collectors like myself. Norazza, Inc. has comed out with the d_skin, which is a very thin skin that you can snap on to your CD or DVD’s data side to give it protection from inadvertent scratches or dust accumulation. The great thing about the d_skin is that it is not just passive protection, you can actually keep it on while using the disc on your CD player, game console or DVD player.

The d_skin attaches to a CD or DVD using a nifty little patented feature called a Liplock seal that enables it to fit on the edge of a disc. Another great thing about the product is its affordability, A pack of five only costs $12.99 and is widely available in many stores as well as in online retailers. There are also packs of 20, 50 or 100 for collectors like me.
