Storing DVDs

Does anyone have experience using products like d_skin
<URL:http://www.d-skin.com/> or Disc Shields
<URL:http://www.audiovideosupply.com/Security.htm> to protect DVD's
and CD's from scratching?  Our circulating DVD collection is growing
and there are concerns of the cost in having to replace damaged
discs.  Do these products protect?  How archival are they?  Are they
cost effective?  Can most players read the discs without problems?
