d_skins Protective Disc Skins are an interesting idea. But “interesting” is a word that can encompass many meanings, and in this case it’s both good and bad.

The concept is great: laser-transparent skins that protect your CDs and DVDs all the time (even when played) can save a lot of important data, from holiday photos to company records to favorite video games. It takes seconds to place a d_skin on a disc and even if it gets scratched, the disc stay intact.

However, the price isn’t so great: at almost $2.5 per skin they’re much more expensive than a blank DVD, so unless you’re very rich you probably won’t cover your entire movie and music collection in these.

But the bottom line is they’re useful. Since everyone has a few treasured DVDs, a pack of skins won’t be such a huge investment, and you won’t stress next time you happen to drop the one with your marriage photos…
