CD Jewel cases - Over 20 years and no improvement

We are over 20 years with CD now and CD Jewel cases still use delicate hinge points. I have hard wood floors and everytime I drop a jewel case it is almost a given that one of the weak hinge points is going to break. I purchased a David Sanborn (hybrid) CD earlier this year and it had much beefier hinge points, I was hoping this was a sign of things to come, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Am I alone in this frustration? If not, is there a way our voice can be heard, like flooding (whomever) with emails?

Yeah, why not make them like SACD cases?????
And don't get me started on the cardboard things that you have to slide the cd in and out.

CD opener...I love mine.

This is one of my pet peeves. Every time I open a new CD case for the first time, one of the hinges pops open and then it seems as though its prone to do so for the rest of its life.

Hey, what's wrong with tradition?!!

CD jewel cases sucked in the past, they suck in the present, and they'll suck in the future!

Does any vender sell just the clear plastic lids, and NOT the whole jewel case?

I had one of those CD Openers. Two problems: it would scratch the spine of the cd case and it wore out. Now, I just keep a small utility knife in my desk drawer. I agree with Ozfly, we need a device to get that annoying anti-theft tape off the edges.
