I have recently noticed that my deck boxes are being "sliced" from the top of my porper clip, how do i prevent this from happening further?
Will post pictures of what i mean soon.

They come with sand paper to sand the edges so they dont wreck your deck
-
mine didnt come with sandpaper and it the one with the arcane ace cut out
-
You should sand it anyway, take some sandpaper or even a nail file if you have to and sand the edges until they feel smooth and not scratchy.

i have the same problem with you .. it damage my zodiac deck v5 and alot other deck until i sand it and now it is much better

They DO!? Mine didn't either, but that was the first thing I did when I got it anyway, the clips come from a metal factory, so it might have some sharp edges, just rub them with a little bit of 300 grit . Even after I open a deck, I open it with the pull so that I can keep the cello on it, it definitely helps keep the box in better shape.

The arcane porper clip has the cut out ace and the edges are shaped in a sharp way. No matter what, its going to mess up the box a little.

i took a nail file to the sharp point, everything is fine now!!!

That's good to hear! :)
The main reason why I don't use card clips is because I like to keep my decks in mint condition - obviously clips protect the deck more, but from what I've heard, they can damage it pretty badly too. And a lot of the decks in my collection are embossed - another thing that card clips would ruin.
Either way, I usually keep my decks at home. There's no need for me to get a card clip!

Ahh Lushbob, you must be a collector, do you perform magic?
I keep my collected decks in a glass case, they don't leave the house either, however, I have copies of a lot of my decks that I perform with, as I'm sure many others here do as well. In this case, the card clips come in handy. For years I just put the box in my back pocket, a deck would last me like a week.

Haha, you got it - I'm primarily a collector. I do enjoy performing magic and I love cardistry, but I don't perform it publicly. Or really, to anyone besides friends and family.
It's also difficult because I'm so careful with decks that I don't want to wear them out with magic and cardistry, so I end up using Bees, Tallys or Bicycles. I'm not complaining - they're still nice decks, regardless of their 'standard' nature. But I'd love to be able to get some custom decks to wear out.
In fact, I might be ordering a brick of Emerald Artifice soon, so I'll be able to wear out a couple of them. :)

I performed with basic Red and Blue riderbacks for years. It's how I built myself as a magician. I bought a custom every now and then, but I only took the basic bikes out to play. Then about a year and a half ago I found white arcanes and fell in love with them, since they I've been switching around what deck I use for performance.
