Why are CDs so hard to open?

I have found CDs to be very tedious to open. First layer is the outside packaging, next the tape on top. Why do they pack these things like there is gold inside?

Also, is there a product that removes the residue left behind by the tape? This is WAY too complicated.

The most frequent use of the knife I keep in my car: Opening New CD's! Also a pet peeve of mine. BTW, I like the cardboard cases much better than the plastic ones, easier to get into when new, don't break, and generally easier to open and close.

In case you don't already know, it's alot easier to just unhinge and then pull apart the covers to get the sticker off rather than peel away at it's corners with your thumbnail or whatever.

I hate it too. I like the cardboard ones, but sometimes the cd falls out of them. Vinyl album covers have cool covers, remember?

Goo-Gone will get rid of the residue. You can get it at places like Target, Kroger, hardware stores, etc...
