I'm not sure how true this was everywhere else, but here in Arizona if you left your CDs in one of these in your car in the summer, the PVC sleeves would bond to the disc and rip off the data layer when you try to pull them out.
Even if that didn't happen, you know you were never putting them all back in the jewel cases and ain't no one got time to go flipping through these at goodwill. So they're all just trash now.

I had NO IDEA Mavicas were so expensive. $700 for one blows my mind. There were flash format cameras before this with more capacity. Sure, floppies were convenient, but $700! And don't get me started on that memory stick trying to look practical at the bottom...

@TechTangents@dialup.space I did this to all our CDs and DVDs decades ago. It was a fantastic idea, and a terrible idea; we absolutely needed the space, but in retrospect I feel bad about tossing all those original cases. (At least I kept the liner notes and cover art for all of them…)
