Here is my issue :

How the f#ck do you take that damn sticker off the top of some CD cases without mucking the case up ?

It says "pull ->" (and I've tried pulling it lots of different ways), but it never NEVER comes off neatly.

ARRGGHHH !!!! Brick wall

I leave them on, the hassles just no worth it.
It's better to have a sticker on than the remains of one making it look much worse.

ack, I know. Well you can take it apart and then soak it in water (since it's plastic) then dry it off and put it back together again. Unless of course it's a card digipak or something (and I've had a couple of them and that really is RARRRRRR-inducing).

Yeah me too, and the price stickers on the back are sometimes even worse...

I hate it when the disc is so tightly secured ti the case that it squeaks and bends when you try to remove the disk.

I have scratched a CD ( a gouge actually Embarassed ) in a CD because of this and had to throw it in the trash without ever getting to listen to it Sad

Use a knife between the label and the case to cut one side of the label. Grab the label and gently remove the larger side. Now attempt to get the remaining label off the other side starting at one of the top cut corners. Twisted Evil

Pledge can remove any remaining scum.

Curse during the entire process!

Ask the cashier to take it off for you

When she gives up, ask for the manager

Then ask for a discount Very Happy
