I recently bought a small can of Oops!.

Has anyone used this to remove stickers from dvd cases/slipcovers?

I don't want to ruin the plastic case or for those that come with them, the paper slipcover. So what is a good product to remove stickers?

Goo Gone works well to remove sticker residue.

Have had great results with Goo Gone as well.  It's also what two different jobs I've worked at used to remove stickers.

OOPS! is made by the makers of Goo Gone.

But the directions says to use on hard surfaces, but it does say it works on  removing sticky gooey residue.

I guess I could try it out on some old case I have lying around.


Is Goo Gone good at removing stickers from slipcovers or digipacks without damaging them?

I've used it to remove stickers from slip covers and also from books, most recently with the slip for My Sister's Keeper.  At first it looked like it had stained the slip a little, and I was kinda    but later when I looked at it again there was nothing, so everything is

I use the hair dryer method first...warm the sticker up with the hair dryer and most times you can peel it off...any residue left, I use goo gone.

Lighter fluid works most of the time, though if the DVD is old it can take some labor to get it all off.  Works best on fresher stickers.

+1 for Goo Gone.  Love that stuff.

I use it on both plastic cases and the cardboard slipcovers without any discoloration issues.  For the slipcovers, instead of applying it directly on it, I squirt some onto a paper towel and press that to the cardboard for a few seconds and then rub in a circular motion to remove the sticky stuff.  Then I use a second clean towel to wipe away any excess (it's oil based, so it won't evaporate away on it's own like an alcohol based cleaner).
