The jewel case is the way to go, franky. Unless you see those cardboard CD
cases (with the plastic tray inside), it's better that your jewel case
cracks than the disc.

The only other alternative is those paper CD envelopes - the type you see
OEM software placed in, but I wouldn't recommend mailing it.

The best source for jewel cases for cheap is your local Computer
Show...they can run from 12 to 25 cents each. You can also get CD-Rs there
for cheap as well...also remember, only use silver- or gold-backed CD-Rs
for burning audio, avoid the dark greens and dark blues; some lasers may
not pick up their data. The darker colors are fine for computer data, though.
