Lovely product with a couple minor flaws Review by Brian
As many reviewers have mentioned here, this is an affordably priced and stylish CD case that gets bonus points for being environmentally friendly. I've ordered them three times now for use at my independently owned record label to house releases I put out, and their charm and versatility is pretty high up on the scale. Being cardstock, they give an effective utilitarian aesthetic feel to my releases, and physically they do well with ink stamps, stickers and decals. The product also has a nice weight to itself in your hands, which is important to me. I like the fact that both looks and feels heavy.
The downsides are two things, the biggest issue being the pockets that hold the discs - for some reason, I'm not sure exactly why, I've had numerous issues (and customers have too) with the discs actually getting scuffed/scratched/damaged from sliding in and out of the pockets. To circumvent this, I've taken to printing out matte photos or some other similarly smooth sheet and inserting it under the discs inside the pockets to avoid damage. I'm not sure if it's simply that the interior surface of the cardboard is rougher grade than the exterior surface, but I've received complaints about it and it has been a hassle.
The second downside is what several others have mentioned - the branding on the backside. I don't absolutely mind it, and I understand that ReBinder as a company deserve putting their mark on their own products, but considering that, it IS a pretty large detractor when you're trying to design these cases to be used for albums, with album art and all. Something that large, and embossed, no less, is very difficult to cover up in any kind of reasonable design. Perhaps ReBinder could make a service available for these cases to be purchased as a special order without the branding? I would love to continue purchasing these cases but in the end, that branding will keep me from doing so when I run out of good presentation ideas on how to work around it. (Posted on 1/24/12)

Great case...lose the huge branding on the back. Review by Scott
The cases are great and do exactly what I need them to do. I could do without the large "Rebinder" logo on the back. It is a little large and distracting. (Posted on 12/24/11)

Great Quality! Review by Gabrielle
I ordered these cases to use for the discs of photos that I give my photography clients. The cases are great quality and match my branding perfectly. I looked around on several other websites for cases like the ones on here and for the price/the amount you receive, and the quality of the discs, you just can't beat rebinder. I will definitely be ordering from them again very very soon. (Posted on 12/2/11)

Love! Review by Carissa
I cannot express how much I love these cases! Being a green-bug the recycled aspect really appealed to me and I was thrilled to be able to incorporate that into my photography business. I think these cases are simple, chic and affordable! (Posted on 11/29/11)

Great Product Review by Brooke
Love my new CD sleeves. I was using something similar before but much prefer using the half sleeves so I can have my branding show as soon as my client opens them. (Posted on 11/28/11)

Extraordinary...and clients love them! Review by Feng Images
I'm using these to package final DVDs for our clients, and I love how well they protect the DVD while doing so in an earth-conscious manner. I bought a few stamps and stamp the cover with our logo and add a card insert for "thank you" notes to our clients, then tie the case closed with some twine. Clients have raved about the look and elegant simplicity of the design...exactly what we were going for. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a green, classy option! www.fengimages.com (Posted on 7/12/11)

great product! Review by chocomoose
I love these!! They are so simple, inexpensive and responsible. I am planning to adorn mine with a sticker and/or another element of my branding before giving it to clients. I like that there is the option to send along 2 CDs or just one with a card on the other side. And the fact that they are so simple is wonderful for several reasons including I will never have to worry if my brand design changes. Love these!!! Will definitely get more when the time comes.

aesthetic quality Review by Lindsay
I searched high and low for a 'brown paper bag' looking cd case, for my client discs- and finally found them. The only thing I would change is the coarse-ness on the inside- sometimes when I put discs in, I feel like they are getting scratched- but I haven't had that problem yet. These cases are the exact feel I wanted for our products. www.davetreephotography.com (Posted on 2/10/11)

Great for my Green Business Review by Heather Ryan Photography
I have been using ReBinder's RePlay CD Case paired with the Brown Kraft Labels for about 1.5 years now. I brand all of the materials with a stamp of my logo and throw in a couple of my business cards printed on recycled kraft paper (also printed by ReBinder). It's a great system that I can feel good about too :) Highly recommended! http://www.heatherryanphotography.com/ (Posted on 11/9/10)

Pretty dang good Review by Jim
Good:
I've used these cases for multiple projects and they're pretty dang good. I like to make stencils and paint layered images on to them. They hold paint and dry quickly.
Bad:
~ There is nothing to hold it shut. My last project I used Velcro stickers. Works great except some people ripped the pocket when opening it in a hurry.
~ I wish the pockets weren't glued down behind the top part. You can slide something down into the case but not up. I would rather there be glue on the outside edges.
~ The stamp on the back side for "Rebinder legal mumbo~jumbo" is kind of annoying. I usually stencil something thick and distracting over it or use a sticker. (Posted on 11/4/10)

exactly what I've been looking for! Review by Jenn Ayres
I am a photographer who had searched high and low to find the perfect packaging for our "digital negative" DVD's. I wanted something attractive, yet environmentally friendly at the same time. As soon as I found these, my search was over! They are absolutely perfect - very sturdy, excellent quality - exactly what I had been looking for. I love them! (Posted on 9/7/10)

using on a movie Review by jwsound
I am a Production Sound Mixer working on movies and we deliver our "dailies" (sound recorded for the day) on optical discs, typically DVD-RAM discs. The last two movies, "Valentine's Day" and now finishing up "Horrible Bosses", the producers have made serious efforts to "go green" in every way possible. The movie industry is particularly wasteful but on these two projects we have made great strides in all departments. I am now using the Replay cases for my daily deliverable (well over 100 will be used on this one production) and we have even gotten the post-production facility to use the Replays instead of the expensive and wasteful plastic cases they were using. We are all happy campers now thanks to your wonderful product.
Regards, Jeff Wexler, CAS (Posted on 9/6/10)

Great Case Review by KIM
We love the cd case! This is exactly what we were looking for. We didn't want to use the plastic cases because they break and they don't look very nice. This is a great alternative! (Posted on 9/3/10)

Woud use them again Review by Amy
We have been using the product for our personal sales and for mail out proposals and they have been well received and worked as a great sales pitch for the packaging as well as the product that we created inside. I would definatly use rebinder again for CD Sleeves and our other upcoming projects. Thanks again. (Posted on 9/2/10)

Love it, especially since it's eco-friendly Review by Ashley
I purchased these cases to use as packaging for DVDs that I give to my clients (I'm a photographer). I include copyright info and printing info on the inside left pocket, then I close it up, slap a logo sticker on the front and tie a ribbon around it. Would look really nice with natural color raffia.
Overall, I'm very pleased. These are a great afforable option for cd/dvd packaging and they are recycled. Love that! (Posted on 8/26/10)

Clients love this! Review by Liberty Tree Photography
Thanks so much! This is exactly the product that I was looking for. I run a green business and my clients have loved that I've switched to this packaging. I bought a stamp for the front so I can customize it and I write a personalized message inside too. It works great, looks good, clients love it, shipping was quick and hassle free, customer service was friendly and efficient... and it's good for the environment. What's left to say???

Great product Review by Jessica
Recently ordered these to screen print for an EP. These are great, keep in mind that there is a fairly large imprint on the back of them near the bottom with their info on it. Not a huge deal, but something to keep in mind when you need to print on the back of them. We've gotten plenty of compliments already and people dig that they are recycled. (Posted on 5/19/10)

Perfect CD Case Review by Marti
I am a photographer and provide these to my clients with copyright information and a print release in the left pocket and the CD in the right pocket. They are sturdy and nicely made. (Posted on 5/18/10)

great product! Review by jillian
i am a photographer, and use these when a client purchases a dvd of images. i was previously using plastic cases which were bulky and expensive. they are sturdy, simple, slim, and easy to mail. i brand them with a small logo sticker, but a reusable stamp with a natural ink would be an even greener way to go. i'm based in northern california, and the fact that they are recycled is a huge plus for my target market. i use the left pocket to include a small handwritten note to my clients, and they love it.
because i could easily brand the cd case, i stopped printing the front of the dvd itself - the plain white cd looks great in the case and i save money and time (not to mention greener).
