Skin Your Discs!!! Yes, You Read Me Right.

Wednesday, July 28, 2004 by Watson | Discussion: WinCustomize News

A while back there was a news story about Bill Gates saying that cd's dvd's and video games would be obsolete by use of discs because of the scratch factor, but that is all about to change.

d_skin™ Protective Disc Skins™ are a totally new, totally necessary product that acts as a protective Skin™ for all your favorite discs. Once your discs are skinned, there is nothing to take off to play your discs, nothing to put
on when you store your discs — one product protects them all the time!

How do you use them? Just snap one of these onto your music, movie, game or data CD’s and consider them protected. The amazing Liplock Seal™ snaps onto the edge of any standard size disc and holds tight. Leave your d_skin™ Protective Disc Skin™ on while you play away — outside and inside your media players. Seriously. Your discs are totally readable right through the Skin™.
The beauty is, once your discs are skinned, if you scratch them, you just toss the dammaged Skin™ and snap on a fresh one. Your entertainment survives!

Interesting concept however, let's see how the disc skins are received after a jam in an auto-load cd/dvd player or cause a hang in a standard-load cd/dvd player. Personally, I think if you use common sense and protect your discs and create & use the backup copies, you'll be fine. I can think of plenty of other computer-related things I could invest in with the money saved by NOT purchasing "5 for $5.99". Hmm... if they were 50 for $5.99.... well...

just because you see a ™ on a name doesn't mean it's a valid ™. We had our patent attorney's do ours and it takes like 6 months to go through. I think companies slap a ™ on stuff without really registering them with the trademark office

I agree with the comments above - is this product called 'Skin TM' or 'Skin'? and why do they seem to think the the word 'skin' is classed as a trade mark? When I read my suncream bottle, it doesn't say "for all skin ™ types" !!

It really gets on my tits. I'll make sure I don't buy these and tell everyone how Irritated ™ I got at the damn advert.

Anyone can use 'tm', 'r' is for registered trademarks.

I think it's a practical idea for original discs. but wouldn't be as useful with backup discs, which are easily recopied to new blanks.

I usually use my original once, and only to back it up onto a cheap n cheezii blank. Still, the original can be damaged, by dust in the puter(yeah I know, clean it more often... well.....), dropping it while placing it on the reader tray, or handling with dirty fingers(no not me! my kids!!) it'd be nice to have some kind of protection on it from the second you break the seal on the jewell case.
ok idea. not necessarily the best thing since sliced bread, but right up there with portable coffee grinders.
