yeah, i agree. jewel cases are fairly ugly. digipacks aren't much better.
any of you seen
Jewelboxing - Super Jewel Box Packaging System - CD and DVD Cases ? their's are pretty nice. they can send you free samples. i actually requested the samples like a day and a half ago and they came today. don't know if that means they're just good or they're desperate for people to buy them, lol. my only annoyance with them is that they are sometimes a pain to open, as you have to press the side to unlock them, but then with them locking they won't come open when you don't want it to.
i'll see about providing my template for others. i need to clean it up and organize it a bit more though first.
