2008/05/21 Nintendo loves d-skins (www.nintendolife.com)

Are you one of those gamers who suffer from slow-loading, stuttering, scratched-to-hell game discs? d_skin could be saviour A what? d_skin is a simple, protective cover which snaps onto CDs and DVDs and stops them getting damaged. The transparent film fits over any standard 14cm disc and stays there, so you can load, play or burn your CDs and DVDs without fear of scratching. There’s no glue – just a patented system of tiny clips which fit snugly over the edge of the disc The d_skin's came delivered to us at we at Nintendo life (.www.nintendolife.com) in a rather nifty CD-shaped tin, once inside we got out our Wii and proceeded to "Play It Safe" by applying a d_skin to the most expensive disc we could find, the recently released Wii Fit sufficed as in theory it would cost £69.99 to replace. Standing on our official NintendoLife.com balance board we gave the disc a try, after a cautious entry the disc was graciously accepted by our Wii and to our relief the game loaded and played as normal, phew! We also thought we'd give it a challange by testing out the slot loading drives on our Macbooks, again the d_skin worked as advertised, nice. These results show us we shouldn't of been worried at all, after all the d_skin recently received Time magazine’s ‘Coolest New Invention’ award. We'd certainly recommend the product for those who suffer profusely from scratched discs.

2008/04/28 Protecting the environment by protecting your CDs

It isn’t perhaps the most groundbreaking news story that reveals persistently replacing ruined CDs can be painfully damaging to one’s bank balance. However, less obvious is the damaging impact that a single chip or small scratch to the shiny side of a disc has on the environment. CDs and DVDs are made from materials including polycarbonate plastic, petroleum-based lacquer and paints, aluminum and other metals. These materials release chemicals that contribute to environmental and health problems as well as global warming, both when they are produced and when they are destroyed. The chemical used in CD cases, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is especially damaging to the environment. It often contains a variety of additives, including lead, making it is the least recyclable, and least recycled, of the major plastics. The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that less than one percent of post-consumer PVC is recovered or reprocessed. That means the remaining 99% either ends up in landfills or is incinerated, a process that releases damaging dioxins into the air. Attaching d-skin disc protectors to your CDs, DVDs, games and data immediately eliminates the wasteful and costly need to replace ruined discs. Additional damage is then cut further through the removal of having to back-up data onto blank discs. And if that wasn’t enough the skins themselves are packaged in recycled metal containers specifically designed to be used again as CD carriers. Thus negating the need for harmful post-consumer PVC cases. There is an ever-increasing awareness by individuals and companies of the need to reduce polluting practices. Protecting your discs with d-skin should be seen as a very small but potentially significant step in the right direction.

2008/03/28 Judge Jules, BBC Radio 1 DJ just loves d_skin

At last, an answer to my prayers - a condom for CDs! If I had a pound for every CD I've scratched over the years I'd be as rich as P Diddy. The biggest complement I can pay d-skin is that, since I started using them a few months ago, I've not chucked away a single CD and my small daughter hasn’t scratched any of her dvds. Cheers, Jules

2008/03/22 d_skin Provides a Cure for Lendaphobia

d_skin Provides a Cure for Lendaphobia, and Eliminates The Fear of Lending Video Games, DVD and Music Discs to Friends & Family a New Survey Reveals three out of four Americans won’t lend their CDs, DVDs and video game discs to anyone – not even family and friends – because they believe the risk of losing digital content is too great, according to a survey conducted by market research firm Synovate. The explosion of digital material found on CDs and DVDs has led to a growing phenomenon called Lendaphobia, said Marc Saltzman, syndicated technology columnist and author of 13 books, including the DVD Confidential series. “And as new, more expensive games and new movie formats like blue ray rise in popularity, so is the investment consumers are willing to make to protect their media. Almost everyone has experienced the frustration of trying to play a disc that’s been permanently damaged, and a solution as simple and inexpensive as d_skin can cure all that. It is estimated that each year billions of CDs, DVDs and games are damaged and thrown away due to unrepairable scratches, costing consumers billions of dollars. Any parent of small children knows how easily a disc can be damaged, says Saltzman, who is the father of three young children himself. By using d_skin, anyone can protect cherished memories, a favorite movie or important information using this revolution in disc protection.

2008/02/08 Testimonials, Junior High Media Specialist

As a junior high school media specialist with numerous CDs and DVDs for teachers and students to borrow, D_Skins are invaluable for preventing damage and scratches to these expensive materials while they are loaned out for classroom instruction and (teenage) student use. The protection which the D_Skins provide is definitely worth their cost. (I also use D_Skins to protect my home CD and DVD collection.) They are fantastic!
