Help! What is the quickest & easiest way to get cellophane wrapper off a CD case without damaging the case.?

Answer 1

use a sharp knife and lightly guide it against the "ribbed" part of the case (usually the thin top or bottom). Do not press too hard because you might scratch the case. Good Luck.

Answer 2

I saw a commercial a while back for a special device, one for cds and one for dvds that you just slip the cd or dvd into it and it slices the wrapper so you can remove it quickly. I don't own one or remember the company but I'm sure you could do a search and find it.

Answer 3

Dig a fingernail or pen or something into the crevice between the front cover and the left-side spine, then cut along it, and peel off the wrapper.

Answer 4

Many have a pull strip, like a packet of gum. Use that if you have one...it's fast, clean, and effective.

If not, I use the edge of my nail (or a key) and carefully run it along the groove where the case "opens" on its hinge. The indentation gives you the purchase you need and any small scratch you might make is hidden.

Answer 5

i had this problem, tried using my teeth, scissors only damage the case. i now use an old fashioned letter opener, it has a very slim blade that slides across the top, and makes a neat job without scratching the plastic.

Answer 6

Use sissors and cut along the rim where the cellophane has been stuck down!! Usually at the top and bottom is where it is stuck down!

Answer 7

I just use a utility knife. Cut in the crease between the sides and the cover.

Answer 8

I use a thumbnail in the crease where the front cover opens.

Answer 9

I'll ask my butler. He usually does it for me. In fact, right at this moment he is sucking the chocolate from my Brazil Nuts. I love the nuts, but the chocolate is so fattening

Answer 10

If you're shoplifting and I tell you, does that make me an accomplice????
