5.0 out of 5 stars For the price, a good deal, August 10, 2006

For maximum archival life of CDs, it is a good idea to keep them both in a jewel case, and an outer container as well. After doing a fairly extensive web search, I discovered that the selection of boxes to hold CDs, while contained within a jewel case, is actually rather limited. And many of these cases are in the $30-$60 range, and actually hold fewer CDs than these cases do.

On the downside, these cases are rather plain appearing and business-like. But I didn't want flaming pink, anyway. Also, their style does not lend them to being portable. For files that will be used daily, or something you want to carry around with you, it may be a good idea to get something more durable with a carrying handle, made of metal or heavy plastic.

These boxes are made out of coated cardboard, a fact that is clearly stated in the description. But they are quite sturdy, and if used only occasionally, should last for many years. But these cases could be damaged, if they were accidentally soaked with water, or kept in an extremely damp environment.

For archival storage with occasional access, this is the best deal I could find, especially considering the almost-nominal price. If you have a lot of CDs, that will fill several-to-many containers, and will only access them occasionally; these boxes are a good choice. I will probably buy some more, as I continue to generate CDs that will need to be stored.

I am pleased with the purchase. They hold 30 CD's in the full jewel case. I bought 10 boxes and I got all my CD's organized. They assemble in about 30 seconds. They got them to me in 2 days. Very easy and convenient.

I bought 3 of these on sale at $3.00 each and I can see why they were discounted; one was perfect, everything fit. The 2nd was tight, but the jewel cases fit in with a little persuasion, albeit a friction fit. The third was so narrow I had to put them in sideways, which wasted space. Also the boxes were short if you put the jewelcases in with the endlabels up so you could read them - you could put the cover on but it was not level and you could not stack them. It's the luck of the draw I guess, you might get a good one, then again....
