CD-R cases

[Paul \(Erie\)]

Anyone know the "official" name of the little colored CD cases for CD-R's?
Not the ones that look like regular music CD cases, these are a bit
thinner, usually have a clear front and the back is colored.

Anyonw know where I can pick up a case of like 100 or so or more, cheap
online?

They're just called slim CD cases and are 1/2 the size of normal cd cases.
About anywhere you'll find them dirt cheap. Therefore I'd recommend
well-known names like circuit city and best buy (they both have online
stores, www.circuitcity.com and www.bestbuy.com)

You'll probably find them cheaper at GoogleGear, somehow they have
everything cheaper. Don't buy from there. Following "netiquette" I don't
want to make a 7-page report on this so I won't tell you all the bad
experiences I had with them. Just to let you know, free two day shipping
means two days from whenever they feel like shipping it, which,
coincidentally, was the same day I complained to customer service on one of
my orders.

A month ago I got a pack of 100 "free after rebate" from OfficeMax. I have not, of course, received my rebate check yet.

Yes, that and overstating the amount of tax to charge you on your order. On
numerous occasions, they've inflated the tax to charge me by one or two
dollars. Mentioning it to them, they refunded the difference after about
six weeks. Also, on some refunds, they haven't refunded me the tax they
charged me. Like yourself, there is a list of problems I've had with them.

I am a bit suprised at these experiences. I've ordered quite a few times
with them and haven't had a problem yet. Then again I do not live in the
State they do business in so I did not get charged tax.

Wait for the next sale as they mentioned. I have two unopened 100 slim
case packs I got free from OM. Ive bought maybe 500 cases both from
COMPUSA and OM for free. They often have them for $10 too 100 cases if
you dont want to wait for a free deal. I actually missed two more 100
pack freebie deals the last two months.

I think July 4th will be a big sale weekend. The sales have been
really mediocre recently.

As I mentioned before - they (OM, Office Depot, Staples, Best Buy,
COMPUSA, etc.) will have killer deals for a few months every twop
weeks or week especially on holidays - then suddenly theyll all stop
doing it and have mediocre sales for months and months.

The last few months the sales have been fairly mediocre though there
have been one or two OK sales at COMPUSA and Office max still had a
fair amount here and there and Staples etc.

If July 4th isnt a big one - they must be writing off the summer and
saving them up for winter or something. I thought Fathers days and
mothers day would be big ones or memorial day - and they actually
didnt have any sales at many stores or were really mediocre.
