The Jazz Loft sleeves sound similar in that they have enough room for all inserts. The front booklet goes in one pocket and the back insert and CD goes in the other. The pockets are loose enough to fit a booklet and CD in the case of 2CD sets. The difference from your description is the felt lining - the Jazz Loft ones are just a straight polythene-like material. One thing that does worry me a bit is that, in the sleeves, the CD faces are right up against the insert on one side and the plastic sleeve on the other. In a jewel case, the CD only really touches anything near the spindle and the rest floats free. I don't know whether this has implications for longevity. You are right that the cost is marginal on a per CD basis but I had a biggish collection (100s) to catch up with and there were international postage charges on top of the price I mentioned above. Anyway, I might try the Jewel Sleeve ones when I need a new batch. Thanks for the information. -- Zoltan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Zoltan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9998 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80369 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
