Crap. Ripped the cover a little taking the CD out!

Well...any time I get a CD in this kind of packaging, I copy it to a CD-R and keep the CD-R in a jewel case, and put the original on my shelf. I got tired of rebuying CDs that got scratched up from sliding in and out of the cardboard.
These sleeves are NOT more durable than digipaks... As far as paper-quality, they're pretty much the same...but they do LESS to protect your disc. The "scratch" problem is the most obvious... But if you're the type of person who occasionally ends up with a CD on the floor of their house or car (in my case, the latter), these cases are virtually worthless when it comes to keeping the CD--how should I say it--unbroken. Someone gets into your car and before you can say "Hey grab that CD off the floor before you..." It's "CRUNCH" and you've lost a CD. (It's happened to me at least three times.) The digipaks, with their plastic--even if the teeth are gone--at least provide a little support, and any crunching you hear is likely just the plastic and not your music.
Of course, personally, I prefer the jewel-cases. Best protection you can get for your CD, and I don't know why the current fashion is to avoid them...
I really dig the BlueFinger art. I just wish it'd been in a jewel case.
I always burn copies of my fave albums. and keep the original shiny and new on the shelf.

Gatefold cardboard like FBF, 93-03 and Bluefinger aren't safe and jewel cases are just cheap and nasty.
Shame that Brood artwork is missing but anyway it's a nice touch that Bluefinger is a family affair.

i concur. will all of that. I like the bluefinger album cover. and teen ager of the year. and svn fingers. and non stop erotic. but i think most of the rest could've been better. the 4ad stuff is some of the best covers ever.
