These jewel cases are compact and durable (considering how easily most CD cases break). Two packs of these can hold CDs from a 50-spindle pack. They're great space-savers. One warning: they are so thin, that if you're looking for jewel cases to replace broken ones for music or video games, you won't have space for the booklets (music lyrics or video game instructions). I tried to use some cases for my old video game CDs and they don't shut properly with the booklets inside. Most of the thinner inserts will fit, though. As far as using them for spindle CDs, I will definitely buy more of these.

These have all the attributes you would expect from high quality Jewel Cases. They are sturdy and substantial enough to protect the CDs inside. The hinges and clasps work smoothly so the case snaps closed and stays closed, but doesn't fight you when you want to open it. The center hub holds the CD securely so it doesn't rattle around inside, but releases it easily when you want to take the CD out.

I can, however, confirm the experience of some the other reviewers. I purchased two 25-packs... and in each there was one damaged case. One had a 2-inch long crack in it's face, but was still perfectly usable. The second had a broken hinge which would have made the case DOA but I was able to repair it with some Duco cement. My feeling is that they are inexpensive enough so that a 4% damage rate is acceptable. (By the way, the package comes enclosed in a cardboard sleeve and shrink-wrapped, so if you were to purchase these in a brick-and-mortar retail store, you couldn't inspect them first as one reviewer has suggested.)

One other fact about Slim Jewel Cases bears mentioning. They don't have spine labels (the label on the edge of the case). You either have to shuffle through them when you're looking for a particular CD, or do what I do and make your own spine label from a stick-on label cut to size with an Exacto knife and a straight edge. That way, you can store twice as many CDs in a regular CD storage rack.

Buying your CDs in spindles and protecting them with these cases allows you to conserve both funds and space! What's not to love?

If you're going to save money buying CDs in bulk spindles, you're going to need cases. Look no further. These Memorex cases are not only the cheapest cases I've come across but they look great and, at half the size of normal cases, can store double the CDs in the same space. I must add that these are not only the best jewel cases but also the best slimline cases - the clasps on these are very good (better than, for example, the Imation cases) and I've never had any break on me. If they're in stock, buy a few packs!

This is a great product for those of us who buy the spindal packs of cd's. These cases are great because they are so slim. I was able to put 2 cases in my cd stand where i used to be able to only put 1. They don't have spots for thick books and they are fragile (my daughter broke one by dropping it one the floor when it was open). But overall these are a great buy. Buy 2 packs.

Plain and simple - haven't broken one yet - built decent, work fine and a good value. End of Story!

Like most of the others who reviewed these jewel cases, I found 2 broken ones. The first was the top one, which was totally cracked. And the second was in the middle. Even bending the cracked ones they seemed pretty sturdy. One reason may because they had both my jewel cases and a 100 pack of CDR spindle in the same box...

These are very resistant to cracking, and are very inexpensive. They are HALF the thickness of an ordinary CD case, DOUBLING the amount of CD's that your rack can hold, and taking up less space on your desk and being less cumbersome. They are highly useful, and are a bargain at this price of just 20 cents each!

before buying this product, i read some of the reviews. after reading them, i was thinking.. hrm, should i really buy this or not. because most had said that a few had been broken. well, i opened up both packages today, and not one was broken out of either package. 50/50 cd cases are in perfect and useable condition. i would deffinitly buy these again

These arrived broken and cracked. Only about 5 were usable. Even the usable ones are flimsy and keep coming apart. Terrible product.

The majority of my cases were damaged in shipping. I immediately threw away about eight, but as I tried to use the rest I gradually found ten or so more that had sustained damage as well. Maybe I'm alone, given the other high ratings, but these seem more fragile than other slim cases I've used in the past. I'd give them 3-stars (because they're cheap) if they didn't have to be shipped.
