 Disappointed December 23, 2007
These were not as sturdy as other clamshell cases I have had before. They are also more difficult to lock closed.
 good--but not great (three and one-half stars) November 17, 2007

These slim jewel cases in a "clamshell" shape by Maxell provide sturdy protection for CDs; but they can also store DVDs as well as CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, and more! I have been fortunate in that the cases I bought never cracked when I tried to open them.
Moreover, these slender jewel cases provide excellent storage for media and they measure less than half the width of the older, original jewel cases that seem far too wide and "fat" today. You can stick a "post-it" note to the front of the jewel case to indicate what's on the disc inside, too. These jewel cases can be storing discs on bookshelves, cabinet shelves or whatever.
These colorless plastic cases keep each disc firmly in place inside the plastic case. That's a great added feature--and you can also see the disc being stored without having to open the jewel case.
However, there's one drawback that I absolutely hate--these cases are difficult to store in rows along a shelf of my cabinet. The clamshell base is too small for the media holder to stay straight up for long periods of time; and they inevitably wind up slipping and sliding about on the shelf when I want to find something on the cabinet shelf. This irks me and I will take off one and one-half stars for this problem.
I still think that these CD/DVD jewel cases provide compact yet sturdy storage for media. Be careful how you store them on shelves, however, or else they'll get loose and fall everywhere when you try to find something on a shelf where they've been stored.
Three and one-half stars.

Exactly what I was looking for. I found some of these a few years ago at Sam's Club, but had not seen them since. Ideal for sending, ideal for filing in a file box. And I received them promptly. Thanks.
