CD Cases

Is it just me or is anyone else getting peed off with the card sleeve type of cd case. I had to start replacing discs after 5 months as the case just scratches them getting them in and out. Ive now ordred a bulk pack of super jewel cases, and when never i receive a card sleeve type i rather sadly sit there cutting up the cover to fit the new plastic case.

I have a fear of being mistaken for a 'craft' type...

Honestly though, i'm getting more and more of these poorly packaged discs, i know costs may be lower but hey, they dont protect the disc, they scratch them...

Are we talking digipack or mini-lp?

With mini-lps I always put new CDs in a tyvek sleeve which fits inside the mini-lp jacket and protects the CD nicely. I like mini-lps because they save space.

Protecting the CD from scratches is especially important with early XRCD packaging.

I don't like digipacks because the teeth holding the CD can break and there's nothing you can do. At least regular old jewel cases can be replaced.
