The CD Jewel case is the standard case used by majority of the musicians and it is the most common type of case found in record and movie stores. The CD jewel case is made of plastic and usually comes in back and white tray. The tray of the CD case features a claw' or teeth' that securely holds the CD in place. There are many reasons why the CD case remains the number one option for musicians. Here are some of them:
The CD Jewel Case is very secure
As I've mentioned, the CD jewel case has a tight and firm grip of the CD because of the tray's teeth or lock. Because of this, you are assured that even if the CD jewel case is turned upside-down, left, or right, the CD is intact. This is the kind of assurance that other cases can't give. There are some cases which could get a bit too flimsy and loose that the CDs would start peeping out. Also, since the Jewel case is made of plastic, it is sturdier compared to cardboard paper or foams. When you accidentally sit on the CD jewel case, the case will break first before the CD. If you have a case that's made of thin cardboard, there is a bigger chance that the CD would break or get damaged because the weight is directly directed to it.
Easy storage
The CD jewel case is probably the easiest, most organized way to store CDs. The type of material of the CD jewel case allows us to store CDs for decades without us worrying that it would ruin the CDs. We cannot say the same thing with other cases since paper can stick to the CDs due to air humidity and other factors. The more organized people also love CD jewel cases because they look more clean and orderly on the CD shelf. Since the CD jewel case has been around for a very long time, there are many CD shelves, racks, and other products in the market that are made for CD jewel cases.
More room for artwork
You can choose to have 4,6,8,or 10 panels for you CD to display your album artwork, lyrics, photos, thank-yous, messages, bio, etc. Choose the CD jewel case if you want to insert thick booklets in your case because it is the only CD case that is designed to have booklet (panel) inserts.
Cost-effective
Because the CD jewel case is the standard, most-commonly used CD case, it is not a surprise that it is much cheaper. The price of the CD jewel case usually range from $0.75 to $0.95. That is a few cents cheaper compared to digipaks and other CD wallets but if you are going to buy thousands of cases, the price may be hundreds of dollars.
