Hello, Elliott,

I have no hands-on experience with these, but their description says 
they are made of vinyl which is scary AND it appears that the vinyl 
touches both surfaces of the CD (both surfaces need to be protected). 
The standard jewel case and the STiL cases support the disc by the 
centre hub and do not permit anything to touch the surfaces of the 
disc (barring a shipment I once had where I'd swear that the CD in 
jewel case shared the shipping vehicle with a bunch of anvils over a 
dirt road).

Cheers,

Richard
