Somehow, on the way from China to Amazon to Me, eight of the 25 became cracked on the frontal part. Unusable! Really cheap plastic. I would like to mail CD's to friends, but am afraid they would shatter in the mail. Also there are no means of labeling them unless you use "Post-it-Notes" or a Magic Marker.

I ordered these 2 months ago and Amazon still does not have any in stock. It says that they are available in 24 hours but they have told me several times that they can't get any.

These Jewel Cases are good, and the price is deffinetly right on Amazon, but I prefer CD Sleeves instead of Jewel Cases. CD Sleeves are much smaller than Jewel Cases, and are much better when sending them through the mail.

It's also good if your going on vacation, because you can find Double sided Jewel Cases which hold 2 CD's, then of course, there are the ones that hold 1 CD. I find CD Sleeves a much better way of transportng CD's than Jewel Cases.

I just received mine. Here are some observations:

1. The cases come in 5 lovely translucent colors.
2. The CD is held in place by 3 cusps. You can release the CD with minimal stress on it by depressing the central hub.
3. There is some clearance between the base of the case and the CD surface.
4. The plastic of the cases seems to be brittle.

All these mean that the cases will protect the CDs from scratches but they will not last forever. This may be a problem if the cases were intended for active use. Otherwise, they are good enough.
