Anybody use Forcefield dvd-r discs or any others that state they are scratch resistent? It pays to spend a little more if the product actually works. Any info would be great.

Forcefield DVD-Rs are Imation media, so I'm sure that even though they state that they are scratch resistent, the quality of the media itself will be very poor.

d_skin® Protective Disc Skins® are a combination of the latest developments in micro-resin engineering and hi-tech manufacturing.
The patent pending laser transparent Skin® and micro-engineered outer ring technology are breakthroughs in disc protection. The ultra-thin Skin® forms a protective barrier around your discs that render them nearly impervious to scratches and the cruelties of an active life. The outer ring is securely fused to the laser transparent Skin® to keep the Skin® firmly attached to your discs at all times, even while they play
We may have reported on this in the past, but it does bear repeating in case others have missed it. These discs protectors are intended for one time use but if you are careful, you can take them off and put them back on. They do get scratched, but at least your disc did not! More information can be found, including where to find this product, by following this link.

They are not cheap, as we can see them for sale at one online retailer for around 45 dollars US for a 50 pack.
One thing I am curious about, is if they could be used in a slot loading car stereo safely. This is where most of my problems occur, due to sloppy storage habits of music CD's that I use in the car, due to vibration or just too lazy to place back in the case right away when I change out the discs.

I thought I had seen another type of "scratch resistent" dvd's from TDK, Memorex, Maxell or something other than Imation.
Anybody??????????

TDK's revolutionary DVD-R comes coated with "ScratchProof"TM boasting "a more than 100 times stronger resistance to scratching"
Probably the toughest DVDR available.
Ideal for mission critical archiving of important data, video, photographs.

As to Imation, ugh.
