I can tell you that jewel boxes last a lot shorter than the CDs they
contain. Damn cheap plastic, the hinges always break. But cardboard?! I'm
sorry, but I treasure my CDs too much to store them in cardboard. I'm all
for conservation, and if it were shoes or food or anything else that
doesn't need to be stored once it's gotten home, I'd say cardboard and the
less the better. But not for my CDs. They're flimsy enough as it is.
BTW, the few cardboard boxes I have do NOT fit in my CD tower. I've got to
jam them in sideways. Thankfully few record companies do this annoying
habit. Conservation is way cool, but blind conservation at the expense of
practicality is just silly.
