- I haven't been able to work out a way to read the spines on mine,
- but one thing I have noticed--with this packaging, compact discs truly
- are "compact." The plastic sleeve takes up about 1/3 the space of a jewel
- box, with an even greater decrease in weight. Plus, they probably won't
- crack like the boxes do (especially during shipping). Another label that
- sometimes uses vinyl sleeves is New Albion. I like their design better--
- it's an envelope with two compartments, and the flap folds back for safe
- disc removal.
-
- If I get a lot of these, I figure a shoe box or a floppy disc case would
- be a good way to keep them. Having to flip through to read the booklet
- fronts would be well worth the space savings to me.
