Digipaks and Mini LP sleeve editions of CDs are just much, much, much, much nicer than regular issues in jewel cases but of course it's harder to keep the paperwork in great condition as it isn't protected by a plastic exoskeleton. I tend to keep all of mine separate from the regular jewel cased discs.

An attractive package, often with fairly extensive information booklets is increasingly important as people are getting their digital via downloads or starting to collect vinyl, with CDs being seen as worthless items by many now, despite them being the lossless quality, hard copy edition of that set of digital files.

Of course they aren't cheaper to produce than bunging a booklet and rear inlay in a dirt cheap, generic jewel case.

I hate them in the sleeves too as over time they scratch. If it's an album I really want and it's in a cardboard sleeve I transfer it first time I remove it to a plastic case. The cardboard cases where the disc is still laid flat are okay though. Don't mind those.

Of course jewel cases are best. certainly for those who like an "ordered existence."
Mine are all safely stored at eye level in order of artist in horizontal racks in a large cupboard of a wall unit in our front room.
I rarely read the "liner notes," I buy the CDs to listen to, not read, "promo stuff."

... although sometimes it's nice to be able to read the words. So many songs have unintelligible words due to the sound mix, the singer's accent or they're just plain unintelligible!

That's always been the case, I could never understand the second line of Dusty Springfield's "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me," for years!

i hate cd sleeves. i have cerebral palsy and find it really difficult to get the cd out of the sleeve without ripping it. Must admit they look better than cases but practicality wise they arent that easy for me
