Blue 1GB discs (and others)

...that these come with cases that can be flipped open!? I had no clue until just now when I saw a friend open one by putting their thumbs on the inner edges and doing what I thought was the wrong way to do it. I was used to the small slip-type cases that come with other some other discs which definitely do not flip open. All you could do was slide the discs in.

Crazy. So then I looked back at my archive of MDs and took notice of some other cases that also flip open. MD Head & Lens Cleaning discs come with cases that are like the ones made for cassette tapes, and one of my other 80 minute TDK discs came with a case like that too, so of course this is not a brand new thing...but now it's the best of both worlds. Flip or slide.

Surely this post may invite some ridicule from people who have known all along, but I overlooked it for a long time! This makes for easier writing on those little J cards. Anyone else not know about this, or was I just totally blind and oblivious?

EDIT: This should probably go in the Tips and Tricks section. My bad

Err.. cool isn't? Just not so sure about the super usability of this "feature"... hehe, guess it's just there to slide a tag into the case.

Most of TDK's cases for regular MD's do that too.

i find these cases annoying; but intriguing. they collapse on me in the middle of a job; or project. i prefer the Tupper Ware ones, simple but milky.

i must own about 700 cases, and the simple ones "Rule".

i have yet to ever use an index card from these cases; prefer two Avery stickers; but when the cases collapse; you have to jam a screw driver up into the case to re-configure it.! Figure it.!

i always preferred the milky sony slip covers too, they don't crack in your pocket. they crack open too. i thought all slip cases did.
