Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Snap-N-Store SNS01617 CD Storage Box, 2 Pack (Black)
Customer Review: Okay, but inflexible
Summary: 3 Stars
I should note that I bought these for computer CD media storage, not music CD's.
The bane of all media storage is lack of flexibility. Software vendors distribute CD's in all sorts of packaging, including standard jewel cases, customized plastic cases, paper sleeves, cardboard sleeves, and even DVD-size cases. I need to file my CD's by computer and application type - not by size! Most CD storage boxes have some size limitations. Some assume that you will simply throw away the original packaging, and use their custom sleeves. But the original packaging often has useful information on it, like installation instructions, urls, or CD key codes. So it is important to be able to file the original packaging with the CD.
The BEST CD storage I've ever found are the old Flip-n-file, swing-top boxes designed for 5-1/4" floppies. These conveniently store CD's in ANY of the above packaging except DVD cases. You can even throw in the odd 3-1/4" floppy. But these are no longer made. (I'm in the market, if anybody has any...) The worst "solution" I've tried was a cardboard box that would only hold CD's in paper sleeves, and was designed so the lid sat on top of the CD's (which stuck above the sides of the box), so that it was pretty useless unless the box was entirely full.
These Snap-n-store boxes are in between. They hold CD's in standard jewel cases, which is what they are designed for. (The cases only fit in one orientation, though, with the long edge up-and-down.) They will accomodate paper sleeves, which are smaller than jewel cases. They will NOT accomodate cardboard mailers, which are a little bit wider. Of course, they will not handle DVD-size cases (although Snap-n-store also makes a DVD box, which I have not tried). Like the other cardboard box I tried, the CD cases stick up above the sides of the box, so the lid will not sit securely unless the box is almost full.
In short, the box is good for long-term storage of CD's if you don't need to store them in cardboard sleeves, and you have enough CD's to store to pretty much fill the box.
My bare-minimum standard for media storage has become: is it better than a shoebox? These Snap-n-store boxes are, perhaps, but only just barely.
