CD Jewel cases - Over 20 years and no improvement

We are over 20 years with CD now and CD Jewel cases still use delicate hinge points. I have hard wood floors and everytime I drop a jewel case it is almost a given that one of the weak hinge points is going to break. I purchased a David Sanborn (hybrid) CD earlier this year and it had much beefier hinge points, I was hoping this was a sign of things to come, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Am I alone in this frustration? If not, is there a way our voice can be heard, like flooding (whomever) with emails?

WORSE YET, you received your favorite CD import (lots of $$$$) open the damn thing without dropping or scratching the case and BINGO, the CD falls out and smacks the table or floor !!
You found out the plastic el-cheapo center pins were cracked as you swear your brains out.

The other thing I HATE are those plastic stop (dots)
that hold the front art work or booklet.
They do a nice job of TRASHING the edge of it (esp. if has been thrown around during shipping or otherwise, ever notice ?
