As I said before, I recently got mine second-hand. However, I've noticed that a lot of the covers I end up shaving about 2mm off of the back simply because otherwise the cover tends to bunch as it is too big. Not a large problem by any means but I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong ???
I guess the UGCs have varied a bit since their inception.

I remember someone talking about this and posted a very old UGC.
didn't realize they'd changed the sleeve texture. That might annoy me a bit...
wiggy:
Does anyone have both the old and new on hand? I'd like to see a comparo shot if so. Just curious.
WolfAlmighty:
Take a picture of them at an angle while they're opened up, so that light reflects off of them. That can show the difference, but the texture itself you'd have to feel. The new ones are smoother. They also crack a bit easier when I'm snapping off the tabs. This makes them easier to modify because they don't take as much effort to cut, but they are also prone to splitting so you have to be careful.
Moviefan2k4:
OK, so how durable are these things, really? I don't want the equivalent of a CD jewel case, or those "eco crap" DVD / Blu-Ray cases.
wiggy:
They're pretty tough, but they do shatter if you drop them. Like I was saying, 25 of my last shipment were busted. Some with minor cracks, so completely fucked.
