faze Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 Just received a small order from Saikosounds today, and all 3 were Digipak. The Solar Fields - Leaving Home packaging in particular is absolutely gorgeous! Which do you prefer? Edit: I found a similar topic from 3+ years ago. I hope I don't annoy people with a repeat 3 years later. Sorry Quote
reger Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 what do you call those cds that spiritzone released - digipack? well, i prefer jewel over digi since after some time it gets damaged etc Quote
D3lirious Posted April 12, 2006 Posted April 12, 2006 I like the Digipacks more. Somehow they stand out of the mass more and are a bit more personal. I think they look better too Quote

Oopie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 absolutely jewel cases! they last longer in use (often you can see wearing in digipaks after a while) and they also look more... masculine you can also change jewel case if it gets broken. not a chance doing that with digipaks.. Quote
Jikkenteki Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I like the look of Digipacks but I prefer jewel cases because you can replace them, if your digipack gets broken and generally messed up, that's it.... Quote
Otto Matta Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Love Digipaks. It's like having a good ol' record sleeve again, only smaller. Quote
Dr Fuggs Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 digipacks by far! and if you take even the slightest simplest care of them, youll never ruin it, my oldest ones still look like new. Quote
Charlie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Jewel cases for me, they're replaceable and sit comfortably in my lovely mahogany CD rack. I do like the look and feel of digipacks though. Quote
Tatsu Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Love Digipaks. It's like having a good ol' record sleeve again, only smaller. 509166[/snapback] That's a very nice way of seeing digipacks. Never thought of it that way. I don't know what I prefere to be hones. I like both but jewelcases fit better in my shelves, so I guess I'll vote for them. Quote
Sawfly Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Digipaks look nice, but I can't lend them to my friends or take them with me because after that they look really worn out, so jewel case it is Quote

Xochi Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Love them both, but like every1 has said digipaks do get warn out after a while, if you dont look at after them or you use them all the time, personaly when I get a new CD, I put them into my Case logic, so all my jewel Cases and digipaks are in storage and never get touched Quote
Otto Matta Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 What the hell are you all doing to your digipaks to wreck 'em? Even my first digipaks are still in great shape, with that wear that gives them character. It's not like you have to present them to your mother for inspection. Quote

Shaft Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I like 'em both - Ultimae is a great example of beautiful music in a gorgeous digipack... Though I prefer jewel cases over digipacks as digipacks tend to get damaged easily, and you can replace jewel cases. Quote
Otto Matta Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I do, she's very strict is my mother. 509359[/snapback] But you still like her, right? Because she's pretty and characteristically worn around the edges with age? Quote
Charlie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 But you still like her, right? Because she's pretty and characteristically worn around the edges with age? 509376[/snapback] I love her to bits. Quote
faze Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 Wow, Jewel cases kicking ass right now. Digipak just feels/looks special to me. They can do much more creative stuff with the covers when using digipak. Almost feels like vinyl again, like the poster way above pointed out (good call on that). Quote
Dr Fuggs Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 yeah, im still completely lost as to how you ruin a digipack so easy?!? wtf are you doing to them?? playing frisbee in traffic with em?? opening them like hulk hogan ripping off his shirt? you all are funny! Quote
Charlie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Easy, if you have a digipack that you play a lot, and I mean a lot, then all that opening and closing slowly but surely causes the cardboard to weaken and eventually tear. It's simple physics really. Quote
Dr Fuggs Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 thats impossible for me, i like too much stuff to ever have time to listen to one certain album very much, its simple statistics really. Quote
Dr Fuggs Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 even my fav digipack, entheogenic, is still in excellent condition, and this is one of the few i listen to alot. Quote
Charlie Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Do you wear special gloves when removing the disc like museum workers do when handling antiquities? I'm pretty careful with all my CD's yet many of the digipaks are falling to pieces. Quote
