Customer Reviews

For the price, a good deal
For maximum archival life of CDs, it is a good idea to keep them both in a jewel case, and an outer container as well. After doing a fairly extensive web search, I discovered that the selection of boxes to hold CDs, while contained within a jewel case, is actually rather limited. And many of these cases are in the $30-$60 range, and actually hold fewer CDs than these cases do.

On the downside, these cases are rather plain appearing and business-like. But I didn't want flaming pink, anyway. Also, their style does not lend them to being portable. For files that will be used daily, or something you want to carry around with you, it may be a good idea to get something more durable with a carrying handle, made of metal or heavy plastic.

These boxes are made out of coated cardboard, a fact that is clearly stated in the description. But they are quite sturdy, and if used only occasionally, should last for many years. But these cases could be damaged, if they were accidentally soaked with water, or kept in an extremely damp environment.

For archival storage with occasional access, this is the best deal I could find, especially considering the almost-nominal price. If you have a lot of CDs, that will fill several-to-many containers, and will only access them occasionally; these boxes are a good choice. I will probably buy some more, as I continue to generate CDs that will need to be stored.

Just what I was looking for!
I am pleased with the purchase. They hold 30 CD's in the full jewel case. I bought 10 boxes and I got all my CD's organized. They assemble in about 30 seconds. They got them to me in 2 days. Very easy and convenient.

Best storage sollution for your old CDs
I was delighted by these boxes. They are not glamorous, but they are efficient. I would have settled for a simple cardboard box that was exactly the size of a CD (and long enough to hold a bunch), and this, while essentially a cardboard box, is very thoughtfully designed.

My reason for buying a bunch was to store CDs that I've now put on my computer, so I only need them for backup. I wanted the most compact manner possible to store them, and this is it. It also seems to be by far the cheapest.

Until you need one, it is folded flat. It easily assembles, and is sturdy and attractive (black, with metal corners and a lable holder). I threw out all of my jewel cases, and bought a lot of paper sleeves for the CDs, and can fit a large number of CDs and booklets (maybe 80? I didn't count) in each box. I guess you could also keep the jewel cases, but I am delighted to have the shelf space back instead.

I now also use one of them for computer backups and software disks. There's room in a single box for all of my backups, all of my software, all of the manuals, and a ham sandwich (although probably not the best place for the sandwich).
