Then they went away.


If you used the groove between the case lid and it's pivot point on one side, you could slice open the plastic very easily and get it open.

Ahh, the good old days. I remember more than a few CDs were purchased at the bookstore on my student charge (along with bigger items and books) because the bookstore didn't send itemized bills home.

One great freebie we gave away at the radio station I worked

for was a gadget that had two guards with safety released blades. One side was for opening CDs, the other for DVDs.

Just drag the case through the correct side and voila.
I bought one of these that made CD opening much easier

Just slide it along the edge where the jewel case opens, and much easier to open. But I still hate those plastic jewel cases that have the sticky label sealing them closed inside the shrink wrap. Unless the CD is brand new, the label with the artist and title sealing the case closed always leaves a glue residue. For that, I use Goo Gone, which works great to remove that residue from the jewel case.
