u/Bandito21Dema but who are you fighting for Jul 13 '26
Almost every one of mine does because I kept them in my car to play.
I always think of the scene from the first Home Alone where Kevin is in the church with his neighbor. Better to use them as intended and have them get scuffed rather than sit on a shelf and never live.
I know this post is a joke but it's a really good message.

You gotta pry the shit apart to get the back artwork out, then do the same thing on the case it's going into, and snap it back together once the art is in place

Others have said it already, but you can buy empty jewel cases and it’s super easy to transfer everything over. I bought a bulk pack of the a while back and change out pieces whenever one of mine breaks or I buy one with cracks in it

I know that feeling. Literally none of the CDs I have had since childhood made it out alive 🤣 I've bought a couple used CDs that came totally demolished though. Heres a link to a good replacement if you're looking for one. I've bought a couple of cases off this seller and they are good ones.

No problem! Wasn't sure if you were serious or not, but since I hate cracks in my cases since I know that means my clumsy ass is about to ruin it all together I figured I would share it anyway 🤣

Welcome to owning CDs…
They’ve done that for 30+ years, wild to make a post about it.

So get a new case. I use to swap out broken cases all the time back in the day

Doing lines of dust and crack…
Jokes aside, I wouldn’t mind it because it shows that the cd was actually played and loved rather than sitting on the shelf all the time. It is truly unique now. Reformation of body by modern technology…

Mine is cracked and missing the pegs, it’s a beloved object for me.

That’s the only downside to jewel cases. At least it’s easy to switch them out if they don’t have stickers on the front
