DVD case: You want to keep your CD and DVD masters and backups in a safe place where they won’t be lost, scratched or squashed. I have used a DiscGear product for many years that does the job. It is a tough plastic case that holds 20 discs. In the USA check out discgear.com and in Canada discgear.ca. The model you probably want is called the Mead Discus 22. Mine is yellow but they seem to have discontinued that colour. They come in black, blue, pink and grey. You can order on-line for $20.00 USD including shipping. Delivery takes about 3 weeks. It has a spot to insert a card with your name, phone number and address. Once I lost the case and once it was stolen. Both times I got it back with discs intact. It is a very tough case.
It makes a nice gift for any computer user. All you can get wrong is the colour.
Gotcha
The case can be opened at either end. You are supposed to open only one end at a time to access either of two sets of ten discs. If you open both ends at once, the case comes apart, which does no permanent damage, but turns the case into a silly looking accordian. It can be alarming the first few times you do it.
