Source for high quality jewel cases

For those who still use CDs, I recently discovered a source for high quality jewel cases that are far superior to the common flimsy and overly flexible variety that have become ubiquitous. 

https://www.checkoutstore.com/products/original-vintage-old-style-standard-cd-jewel-case-heavy-duty-90g?variant=45711054897367

$16.00 for 10 count, plus shipping and, depending upon your location, tax. 

You're welcome !  ;o)

I've had issues with the lift mechanism loosening and falling out of the case. Maybe I've just been unlucky. I don't see why there would be stress exerted on discs unless the center post is too tight. Some other reason I don't know about?

Yeah -- I've run into a few but pretty infrequently.

I'm not a fan of the cardboard digipaks, where more often than not, the CD is shoved into the slot with no protective sleeve. Simply removing them risks scratching the disc -- a really stupid design, IMHO!  So I put them into standard jewel cases and cut up the digipaks into appropriately sized/proportioned sections  to duplicate the usual jewel case inserts. Especially with out of print CDs, the last thing I want to do is risk scratching them every time I take one out to play it. I do not understand the "logic" of the digipak.
