Highlander metal case too fragile! - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

Man, whatever Anchor Bay used to make the Highlander metal slipcase was too soft. The cashier at Best Buy slightly dented the front in two places by dropping the title on the security tag demagnitizer, and I dented the spine in two places simply by removing and replacing the title in my DVD rack a few times. Too bad they didn't use a metal similar to the Terminator 2 slipcase, now that thing is sturdy! I'm just gonna remove the metal slipcase entirely and display the double-keepcase... There is no spine artwork anyway on the metal case, and the thing already has 4 minor but noticable dents in it.

i was wondering if it's the same type of case as Disney use on thier recent Treasures collections? One of those didn't make it through the post in one piece to me.

The metal is of a similar material (they dent the same way), but the Disney one was constructed better so it doesnt dent quite as easily.
