    Where do i get these decent C-Shell CD cases? *Pics*

    Here are the ones I have:


    With the annoying CD grip in the middle that is too strong, i find myself flexing the discs to get them off.


    And here are the shells blockbusters use on their rentals:




    They are easier to handle and feel better built. I bought mine from svpdiscs or something, any ideas where to get the blockbuster ones?

    Well the ones I have seem cool, and are pretty robust.. Doesn't look like they will just fall apart at the hinge and they should be cool for awhile of use (But haven't had them that long soo can't tell you from experience!) .. Or is that not what you mean?..

    these are much cooler!

    http://www.idealoft.com/ejector.htm

    Saw them when I was a design student and thought they were great! Now u can buy them! not as cheap I'll admit... but they are made from 100% recycled/able material and the production process to produce the material (metallocene) is kinder to the enviroment as it requires much less energy in production.

    I have a couple of those free from somewhere, i like them, but cant help but think the mechanism will eventually cause damage to the disc, must be just paranoid. Unless i trust these words:

    "disc is held only on its periphery, and therefore the data remains untouched and protected."
