3.Use Ur Turntable Shell Head Cover (Unless Ur Spinnin' Live Or Practicin' Ur TriX N Routinez)

4.For Me : Inner Sleeve/Cardboard Jacket/Outer Plastic Sleeve 4 Most :The Outer Sleeve is Optional....But Like I Said 4 Me It Aint !!......I know ALOT O Cats that thought so, caught Water Damge then wish they Used OUTER SLEEVES.
