Memorex CD/DVD Clear Keepers, 50/Pack

Comments about Memorex CD/DVD Clear Keepers, 50/Pack:

These are the only clear, all-transparent DVD/CD sleeves readily available. If you are in the habit of writing notes all over the surface of the disk, as I am, then you know how irritating the paper sleeves with a round window are. The window gives you a good view of the hole in the center of the disk but to read what you've written on the disk you still have to pull it out of the sleeve most of the time because unless you can remember to try to squeeze your title and notes into the center area of the disk that shows through the window (Congratulations to you if you are that disciplined) you won't be able to decypher what is written from what is visible through the window. Those sleeves also tend to tear easily around the edge of the window. Memorex also makes colored transparent (translucent, really) plastic sleeves, but the coloring just makes it more difficult to read what is written on the disk and I find it distracting. Solid opaque paper or Tyvex sleeves without any window are more sturdy than the ones with a window, but they are not acceptable to me because I am not going to write my title and notes twice (once on the disk and once on the sleeve). Slim plastic jewel cases, clam-shell cases, etc. are too expensive and take up too much space. I knocked off 1 star from my rating because sometime around the end of 2012 Memorex started using what I assume is a cheaper kind of plastic for the sleeves. The plastic that they used to use was more rigid and more transparent. The current incarnation is still useable but is quite inferior to the ones that they used to make.

These CD sleeves were all right, and they're much better than jewel cases. The kind I got before, either from Staples or from somewhere else, were made with a softer textured plastic, and were easier to handle.
