Yah, I bought some house branded CD-Rs from CompUSA. They self erased after a few days. What junk.
I think sleeves are far safer than jewel cases for storing CDs. I have had them break in half when removing them on several occasions. I keep music CDs in jewel cases in a rack where I can see the titles on the spines, but I would never keep an archive CD in a jewel case.
