I have concerns regarding scratches. How careful does one have to be when inserting/removing the discs (does this scratch discs easily)?

As long as you can carefully insert the disc sideways into the slot you have no chance of scratching the disc. The slot is wide enough so that shouldn't be a problem. It really is a very easy system to use

i have been using mine and have never had a problem with scratching and the in and out works fine also hope this helps you

I usually use my little finger to take the disc from the unit. No scratches. I have not had any to scratch.

I've had no problems - if debris got between some of your disc then maybe. The slot that grabs the disc is very tiny & along the edge. I don't think sny moving parts could do any damage

I have used these for 10 + years and have never scratched a DVD. Care must be used when handling a DVD at all times, but no problem inserting 0r removing from the storage device!

I have only had my case for a short time so I only have a limited experience but I don't see this to be a problem. If you handle the disc properly. Any scratches would result from you mishandling the disc, not the storage device.

I have had mine for several months and love them. I had a disc holder that required sleeves and they did scratch my disk. These have a small grabber so that you are not digging for your disk. I intend to buy 4 more for the rest of my DVD'S and some for our games. Very happy customer.:-)

I've got several of these holders, I've had most of them for many years and my discs are holding up just fine, I do try to be careful but I'm not to crazy about it. hope that helps you I really love mine.

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.

If left in for extended amounts of time, the plastic around the slot will start to warp. I always remove mine when I am getting out of the car. It's not really permanent damage, and it depends on the set up of your cd slot and console in your car. The dust protectors made of fabric in the cd slot will get slightly deformed, but again this is not really considered damage. If I had a brand new car, I might think twice before using this product.

Wow, I havn't heard of scratches from normal use. I do get small plastic rub marks from the stylus's nib. But I wipe it down with that microfiber cloth it comes with and they all disappear. I have been using it for about 9 months and still havnt worn the nib down. Is it possible there is something stuck to your pen or some solid dirt on your screen that is getting rubbed around?

I haven't noticed any scratches. It says in the user manual to be careful where you have it when you have it in the upright position to use the tools. I have a wood laminate floor and put the vacuum on an area rug when I use the tools just to be safe. So far so good!

It's not very easy to scratch with normal use. But if anything sharp comes across it like a knife or something that will scratch it. I had it on my dash plastics in my car so it should remove without any issues. It might be easier to remove if you heat it up a bit while peeling it off.

We rent DVDs at our grocery store and this is what I've discovered. If it's skipping, there's something wrong. Minor scratches are most likely caused by things like loading and unloading it into the player. Or setting it down on a hard surface and then sliding it. Major scratches are deep and most likely caused by the DVD being used as a frisbee. :) I've only used the sandpaper a couple of times. Even if some of the scratches still remain when you're done, chances are it'll play.

I have used this on CDs and Wii games with pretty significant scratches. I have had 50/50 luck with them, when I've literally let it run for 20-30 minutes while sitting next to it and spraying the disc to keep it wet. If you're using an adapter for power and don't mind babysitting it, it's worth it to me. As to how long it will last... if you're meaning how long the device itself lasts, I had mine for 2 years before the plastic cogs that turn the disc wore down too much to spin anymore, and that was using it about once a month.

There should not be scratches on a lens. I own several lens but not the one mentioned. None the less, a scratch free lens is mandatory.

Your results will vary. I did one disc for a friend, and it seemed to turn out ok. PS3 discs, I think, had a form of scratch protection measures implemented to help protect the discs. The same couldn't be said of the xbox 360, although the console itself did chew up games at times. I don't know how much the scratch protection on PS3 discs affects the ability to repair said discs.

I find them to be soft enough that I have had no problems with them scratching my discs. I have used them for 8 years now.

Mine hasn't scratched...I'm aways careful when I put in the console. It really comes in handy - just not for drinks. I only remove it when someone is with me. Only suggestion I have if he worries you - insert a small cloth to prevent any scratching.

They feel durable and like they will last a long time, it comes with 2 tips. I recommend cutting a small piece of the screen cleaning cloth and gluing it to the bottom of the disk. This prevents it from scratching the screen and also glides better and feels better.

I would think if the lens is out of adjustment and hitting the cd is a way to scratch the cd disk. normally the laser lens sets at a prescribed distance to pick up the magnetic signals of the disk.

Sorry, I have never used the Verbatim discs. I have been using the Taiyo Yuden discs (now JVC) for about 6 years and am very pleased with them. With normally handling, these discs should serve you well. I don't know what you mean by rough handling? I have not had any problems with scratches but most any disc will scratch if mishandled and the front of the disc is as venerable if not more so than the side the laser writes on.
