Just a note to those who've been having trouble opening these cases, without breaking them. If you use an emory board to slightly sand the top knob which is holding the case together, you'll be able to open and close it ok. Don't sand too much, and just do the top knob, or it won't hold together. I like the fact that these cases are clear and fairly inexpensive, so I wanted to make them work. Hope it works for you. Memorex 50-pack Slim CD/DVD Jewel Cases (5mm) Clear
The product itself I can't fault: these are your standard slim jewel cases. But sheesh, do a lot of them arrive broken. Truth is, I've never ordered cases from any supplier (Amazon, newegg, outpost, or wherever) that didn't arrive with at least 10% of the cases cracked or broken. They just don't ship well. If they seem like a good bargain, remember that you'll lose a good percentage of them. And even if the retailer will take them back, it's never worth the bother of returning them.
Add to that the shipping charge, and it starts to look like it makes more sense to buy these at your local office supply store where you can inspect them for breakage before you buy. That has been my experience, anyway.
Cheaper than thick CD cases and less prone to breakage, these "slim" cases by Memorex protect your CDs. Most buyers will get them for use in CD or DVD burning, and these are an affordable choice from a quality company for that purpose.
You may want to consider larger cases depending on your tastes, but otherwise these will probably satisfy your needs.
The cases are fine but extremly fragile even if dropped on capet they break,so if you drop them on the floor or any hard surface forget it it's gone. I estimate about 20 to 30 % you may break. I don't see anything else better on the market so you just have to deal with it. "Oh I will buy this product again".
These are great for storing all your dvd/cds. They're not the most sturdy; but if you're a careful adult, they'll do just fine. The clear cases are more elegant than colored ones. My order came in perfect shape this time (sometimes there are a few with minor chips), but you can use them for giveaways. I will be ordering a second box soon.
My package arrived with 5 broken cases. Not worth the hasstle of returning. The cases are a little hard to open but not as bad as some reviews have indicated. Amazon definitely needs to package these better for shipping. - Cd Holders - Dvd Cases - Storage Cases - Slim Jewel Cases'
