Well strictly to look at the digipacks are much nicer. Having to live with them in your collection is another thing entirely. I rather prefer the jewel casings, because they offer up protection and stack up nicely against each other. Digipacks have a tendency to break and they are impossible to store without messing up the corners + plus without the help of the albums one got in jewel casings, they wouldn't be able to stand on the shelf properly.
Like I said, the digipacks are surely the best piece of eye candy, but if that's your thing then why not opt for the vinyl optionBig smile

I am a bit confused and not sure if it was only by coincidence that most people who I have discussed this topic with seem to prefer jewel cases more compared to digipak. Among uncommon belief digipak's to produce are actually much more expensive due to the artwork and customization involved in printing, a jewel case the booklet is the cover that's it and the plastic cases are universal etc, besides providing a back cover, that's it. Meanwhile a digipack is customized, one could compare it with vinyl/LP gatefold, besides the booklet and cd disk it has 4 additional printing areas/sides to add artwork.
My fellow members, which do you prefer and why? hugs xxx
