| not the answer you're looking for I'm sure, but my advice is don't do them. Worst format ever is digicraps. |

If you are to do handmade digipaks,do make sure that the teeth that holds the cd doesn't come off as it will be difficult to glue it back together.
Also take a look at Angra Mainyu's Versunkenheit digipak album done by Haunters Of The Dark,its very well done with a black sponge or something holding the cd.. |

I don't mind the better quality digipaks (Nominon's last album was in a really good one), but I hate the teeth issue. The manufacturers of these things should be ashamed of themselves. Those teeth if anything are even more fragile than a traditional jewel case, and once they break out you have no choice but to replace the whole damn CD. All they would have to do is switch to a different method of holding the CD in - I own a number of CDs with much more durable holders that don't rely on those teeth. The holders in DVD cases for instance are almost impossible to break without trying.
I also wish more digipaks would be sold in slipcases or plastic sleeves. They're not theoretically any more damage-prone than LP sleeves, but LPs show up most of the time already in plastic. Digipaks don't, and it's harder to track down protection for them. |

Yes I've seen those on the Isolation cds as well, it's true it's better than the plastic teeth.
