CD cases break too easily
 

I get really angry when that happens. I keep a bunch of my CDs in the back of my car and they fly all over the place and end up cracked. My own fault, but I still get really pissed about it. :grumpy

I love music and don't worry I flip out to. I broke one of my Jessica Simpson CD cases I've had since I was in fourth grade and got so upset... I generally find Asian CD cases to be harder to keep from breaking though since they seem to always use the super thin jewel cases... That's why I keep all my Asian CDs in my desk and flip if someone tries to touch them. XD

booo I almost never touch my jewel cases from the shelf

Yeah I've broken a lot of mine. -___- The hinges of mine usually break so when you open the CD the cover falls off. Bleh~

yep! i hate that so much!!!

jewel cases are definitely too fragile. this is why i keep all my jpop in a drawer and almost never even open it! i never use my cds anymore. although, sometimes they still arrive in the mail broken or cracked. its so frustrating!

Mine used to break all the time when I was a kid, because I would carry them around in a backpack :laugh
They don't break as often now, but when they do... it really pisses me off :weep

artists need to start releasing their stuff in bullet proof Plexiglas or something. haha

I haaaate this so much!! Once, I moved my NEXT LEVEL from my shelf to my desk, I didn't touch it after that (I had set it down gently), and when I went to pick it up, I noticed that there was a long scratch down the back of it :shakehead

When it comes to my CDs, I'm totally OCD about them!! It irritates me if my cases are broken! >.< Even when it comes to my J-POP stuff, even a crack will bother me! But I guess I'm weird like that, huh? ^^;

You know you could just buy a pack of new jewel cases at the store and replace the broken ones.

I take really good care of my CDs ( no matter how much I play them), so I honestly can't relate too much. But if my cases ever were to crack, it would seriously get on my nerves.

I've yet to break or crack a case I truly care about. All my Ayumi CDs are in bubble wrap lol

Almost every time I buy CDs, they'll break >.<

Only for concert DVD cases of mine wont break :laugh

I start panicking and act as if the world will end.
I hate it when it happens. It really irritates me.

I have a few broken ones! It makes me weep :weep
My new L CD has a huge crack in the case :(

I've broken a lot of my jewel cases (in general, I break a lot of stuff), but I don't really care that much anymore (unless it's the expensive yesasia ones!!) The way I see it, it proves that it's been used and abused, because I loved it :D If that makes any sense...

...Or that I'm just a klutz...

The teeth in the cases always break for me >_< So the CD just flops about inside the case.

It's annoying especially considering how expensive Japanese CDs are!!!

I find that with my Western artists, the front cover of the case cracks often, whereas Asian CDs lose the teeth or the hinges snap ;_;

I now leave mine in their plastic. Some I don't even think I've opened. I have bubble wrap around some of the more precious items though, like the NEXT LEVEL USB. And RnRC boxed set is actually still in the brown cardboard box it came in.

Ah....most of my CDs are broken
I broke one because I sat on it and didn't realize I had it in my bag....and I only brought it like 10 minutes before I got in the car @_@
And the rest have cracks in them cause the customs people at the airport just had to open my luggage, break all of my CDs, or else their life just won't be complete

I used to care a lot for that once I started collecting CDs, to the point of being obsessive. I take good care of my CDs and rarely pick them, but I just don't really care anymore if a case is broken or something. I'm glad I grew out of that obsession :yes There are far more important things in life to give a damn about.

I broke my (m)u-cd with opening it.. for the first time.
... Wow, I have never ever cursed so extreme like that day.

I used to get really stressed if I ever received a broken CD case or something, but with time I'm kind of letting go a little... As long as the CD is okay and the case not too damaged :shrug cracks don't bother me as much anymore lol

Which made me really sad once was my Uraayu photobook that I have. I accidentally ripped the cover page while looking for it :(

^ ouw, why?

I'm so OC when it comes to my Jpop CDs especially new stuff. I panic when I accidentally drop them!

:/ The only time I ever break cd cases is if I accidentally step on them or something...and that's rare.

Interesting, I've never broken any of my album or single CD cases and I usually carry them with me somewhere. I also open them a lot, but I pay a lot of attention to them so they don't even get a scratch. I usually keep them in their original plastic seal they come with.

Some of my older CD's have cracks on the case because I was pretty careless with them when I was younger. Now that I've started buying the much much more expensive J-pop CD's (with my own hard earned money) I'm super careful with them. I flipped the **** out one night when I realized I had left my Perfume CD in the home computer after ripping it to Itunes, luckily I found it without scratches in the large CD container. My brothers are extremely careless with anything's in disc format (well actually, they're careless with EVERYthing) so I'm seriously petrified of them touching my CD's lol.

I leave them in the box and bubble wrap they came in and I'm even starting to leave some in the wrapper. I hope I can get my hands on some slip covers and maybe a special storage container to keep them in because my current method is taking up too much space in my room lol. It'll be temporary though cuz I really want to have them on display but that'll require purchasing shelving or a larger bookcase which is out of budget atm. I'll probably end up just getting a new TV stand and storing them there. :laugh

LOLLLL great idea !

My CD's are like new, because I rarely use them, but I wouldn't be too happy if I broke one of the expensive ones.

I tend to drop things a lot ;_; and that includes some of my CDs.. so I just leave my CDs in the stereo and the cases on a shelf so I can occasionally look at them ^_^

Maybe you guys should try being careful. I have tons of CDs from many different countries and none of them have ever broken.

good for you. most of us are human and make mistakes and happen to be clumsy once in a while. A lot of my cds have cracks in them, annoyed me, but it's pointless crying over spilled milk. It's all accidental of course, or they arrived in the mail already broken, but I don't freak over it. my life doesn't revolve around them like some people's...

I hate when you get a CD that has a damaged case. :/

My copy of White light/violet sauce by Namie Amuro had a crack in it when I got in the mail (Yesasia order) and my copy of Memorial Address was completely broken when I got it, Like I could pull it apart into half. I got the CD/DVD version from Play-asia.


Other than that, I never had a broken CD unless something happened (like when I lived at my parents and my brother got his grubby little hands on it and ruined them) I still have many many CD's to replace because of him. :/ and some video games. He lost my collectors edition of Manga Carta, and spilt orange juice on my copy of kingdom hearts, because he'd go into my room and get them while I was at school, no matter how many times I said "DONT TOUCH THESE" he just wouldn't listen.

^omg your from PA! it's so rare for me to see people who live in PA be an ayu fan. XD

Next Level and A Complete purchased by YA had broken cases -__- grrr

Hahaha I know we are few and far in between lol. My friends are like "oh Yeah I'm an Ayu fan" and then they only like the inuyasha songs :/ it's like "that's not my definition of a fan"

LOL

I always check the jewel case when I buying stuff at a music store,if I found out broken teeth or crack jewel case, I will ask for another copy or a brand new jewel case. But however if I bought online, then cannot be exchanged if arrived broken. I hate it when it is damaged!!

I've never noticed if I care too much. All my old CDs from the 90s are in crap condition. It does annoy me that some of them don't close properly. As long as the CDs work, I don't care, and most of them are on my mp3 anyway.

I have Mariah Carey's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel cd and it's made of paper, my dog chewed it in half and the book got damaged because the slot to stick it in is too small. :-/

I had to buy another copy.

^I have that CD too! I love reading the mini magazine. My dog's not much into chewing, luckily.

^Gaaawwwd I hate those so much. They're thick, clumsy-looking, and impossible to store. I don't get why they even exist when you can just use nicer and slicker looking digipaks or slip cases that can hold two separate cases for the packaging. >__<

That's why I haven't bought anything from them in awhile, they're getting lousy with the condition of the cds. From the same order, one cd case has a big nasty crack on it, another with a small crack and one has a piece chipped of so it won't close properly.:shakehead
I was thinking about returning them, but I waited three weeks for them..

Anyway, yes, it does bother me when I get my cases scratched or cracked; it is so hard to avoid. Now I'm keeping them in the plastic they came in to avoid these problems.
