I've always figured it was just so it had more of a vinyl album look to it. But does it even matter? As long as they keep putting them out, I'll buy them. They could be wrapped in leaves for all I care.
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12
It is a mix between being enviornmentaly friendly and having a vinyl look to them. I like the cardboard cases so much better than plastic anyway so keep em coming.
you have answered your own question...the answer you seek is in your post! You are trying to reach for something else that isnt there....:-)
There it is.

I kinda wished they went back to CD/Jewel Cases, then cardboard. Cause cardboard does tend to scratch up your cds. Yes, cardboard is cheaper, enviromently friendly etc.. but the safest way to store you cd's is jewel casing.

I agree, or at least those half cardboard/plastic cases that hold the cd, like Binural case, i hate when CDs skip
I actually prefer the cases that the 10C Avocado and Backspacer came in. As well as Into the Wild. Come to think of it, didn't Binaural and Riot Act had plastic holders for the CD in the cardboard case?

Do people still listen to CDs...? I thought it was only the Amish?

yeah, I still do, My Ipod is being held hostage , haven't seen it since.... :roll:
and i'm not completely convinced that cardboard sleeves are tons and tons more environmentally friendly than plastic: the cardboard hasta come from somewhere.

Yeah, And who would wanna recycle cd cases anyway
OK, fair enough. do we know that carboard comes from recycled sources? (not picking nit, just wonderin...)
Because plastic jewel cases suck! All mine break and crack.
Same here. Once i bought a cd and as soon as i took the wrap/sticker off it broke in 2! :evil:
Doesn't that just piss you off? Or, how about when a few tabs that hold the CD in place break and your cd is always falling out and getting caught between the lid and the base. Or when the hinge tab for the lid breaks completely so it never stays closed, and then your cd's fall out because those tabs broke.

Oh man - I HATE when the little tabs break off in the center of the tray! I'm O.K. with cardboard, but maybe we can go to a styrofoam clamshell type case like Big Macs used to come in!

IDK, plastic cases are a pain in the butt too, but I THINK that plastic cases keep CDs in better condition than the cardboard sleeves. Well, at least my cds.

its actually more expensive to have digipack cds made in most cases. Unless it is simply a non folding sleeve with no book or tray. I found this out earlier this year when my band had our first EP duplicated.

it doesn't matter when it's a sleeve live yield or binaural, but the vitalogy, no code, and backspacer artwork, nice as it all is, is awful for getting the cd in and out of the case without having it be scratched to hell in no time. i hate these flimsy cardboard cases that is like a glorified container for the startup disc you get with your computer.
My VS CD is a traditional plastic CD holder ,
the only PJ CD i own in the non-cardboard caseholder.

CD's scratch in the cardboard.
And they easily fall out.
Happened to my Backspacer cd.
True. I think TEN was the only Pearl Jam CD that came in Plastic case, other than the singles "ALIVE, JEREMY, EVEN FLOW" Etc..
Vs was in plastic.
And Yield/Avocado are cardboard but the CD sat in the plastic.
Yield and Avocado have the cases that i prefer...oh , and RIOT ACT too
