I just got a CD in a cardboard case. No, it wasn’t available as a download and I like a more persistent storage medium anyway. For some reason I wondered about the cost savings that motivated the packaging choice. Then I realized that I have allowed myself to become conditioned to the plastic CD cases with their insanity inducing plastic wrappers and adhesive seals. The cardboard ones come with a simple shrink-wrap cover, so what’s not to like about that?
You know what else? Albums came in cardboard, including the original version of this one, and I never thought that was weird.
