Plastic Cd Cases

Writen by Max Bellamy

When you buy compact disks, you will find that they usually come in plastic cases that serve to protect the disks. These cases are very useful and may prove to be easier to organize and store. These plastic compact disk cases protect the disks from elements that can damage the lens of the disks by dust or mishandling.

The original casing of compact disks is referred to as the "jewel case," which is made of mold-injected polystyrene, a type of plastic that is not as durable as other types of plastics. The original plastic CD cases are well known but not well liked. A jewel case's main weakness lies in the hinges -- two brittle plastic arms that often break upon the slightest shock or stress. Also, the teeth of the center circle that hold the disks are prone to breaking. Although jewel cases hold the compact disks as well as album covers, another persistent problem is the tabs that hold the liners in place. Thick covers are actually gripped too tight by these tabs that may cause tearing.

More and more people rely on other plastic compact disk cases that are available on the market. Although there are some compact disk collectors who still value plastic compact disk cases to store and display their disks, there is no doubt that it is no longer the product of choice when storing compact disks.

The plastic compact disk cases, alternatives to the jewel cases that come with compact disks, are more durable and space saving. They are slimmer, plastic cases that are very convenient for the user. There are also plastic envelopes and plastic compact disk folders that have cover pockets. They come in a variety of sizes, colors and capacities that all contribute to their popularity among consumers.
