Seriously? I'm guessing you've never even tried this. It's almost impossible to hold the hub closed while removing two discs, let alone that fourth or fifth one. At that point, you'd just be violently tearing them out of the case, not "removing" them.

Forgive my bluntness, but most of your posts are tactless and argumentative, even when you don't know wtf you're talking about. It's obvious you like to argue, simply for argument's sake. Some would call you a troll.

Oh yeah, I own Shadow Skills and I'm easily able to remove all 6 discs at the same time. It's not that hard to remove them. I'm not sure why people make a big deal out of the stack packs. Hell, I question people on common sense. there was a girl on the Funimation forum that couldn't remove the disc from the BD case.

Removing discs isn't rocket science. People act as if you're not extra careful with discs, they'll bust on you. They won't break, not with how the DVDs are. The older ones (were they have the large plastic center) those are more prone to crack on you. And they do if you put too much pressure on the center, but they are still play, the cracked plastic doesn't effect the media.

While you're putting your ninja skills to the test flinging around Shadow Skill dvds, like they're an extension of your own soul, I am forced to repeat myself:

Except you're the worst kind of troll, one who doesn't even realize what they are.

I think crappacks are cheap shit-I mean really, a decent case only adds a few cents to the overall cost. I'll take a litebox over a stacker anyday. But what really gets my goat are the cutaway cases crapamation and now Sentai seem to love using. I mean what's the purpose of a case-maybe to protect the disc inside? With the stupid cutaway cases all that stands between the disc and damage is the case insert and a thin layer of clear plastic-especially on the read side-jeez!!

*Raises hand for also hating stackpacks.*

They're just garbage with about 3 separate major reasons why they're retarded and impractical disc storage devices, that I can point out. I haven't replaced any though.

I don't see the problem with getting an 8 disc case to replace a stackpack. Sure the cover might not fit perfectly into the thicker case, but it still fits, and is an infinitely better option.
I did it with my Moribito stackpack and it's barely noticeable that the cover is slightly smaller than the new case.
