Damita, make sure those are what you want. Those are not the resealable kinds with the sticky strip. Those are just sleeves that sit over the CD (or +DVD) case. I bought the CD+DVD vers. before and they're not even a good fit. If you go to Frys Electronics, you might find CD resealable bags. Unfortunately my Frys no longer carries them

Thanks for your advice, I did keep that in mind. I've been waiting to reply because I wanted to test them out before I give you the verdict. Since they were very cheap for one pack, I tried them both out.

Anyways you are right, I cannot use them for items that come in huge slipcases (mainly CD+DVD, I tried with Nana Mizuki's and the actual paper cracked), but for regular CD's and CD+DVD's, they fit perfectly. In fact, My Rock'NRoll Circus CD+DVD with photobook even fit! The only problem, like you said, is that they are not resealable and leave part of it exposed. So if water spills on it, there's still a chance it may get into the sleeve. But still, they are great and they look good and I'm glad I got them.

As I am doing a little gift shopping for myself at CDJapan, I am reminded of my experience from my first order there. They did everything perfectly but the US postal service sent a damaged envelope (made some writing mistakes on address so second envelope needed) along with the actual envelope containing my money order. When the damaged envelope came back, I was so scared that something had happened to the contents inside. When I went into the post office to tell them, the girl who had helped me before was so embarassed that she had sent the damaged envelope too. For anyone considering money orders, there is an option at the post office to be able to track its progress (around $20-30 for 6-10 day international priority). I don't know how many of you use money orders as payment but outside of the USPS being stupid, I found it reliable as I worry about how my card would be charged and using it online.
