yups it is, it feels like it is incomplete without the OBI. (The only time I am okay without having it is if it is a rare cd.)

I didn't used to care about them, but recently I began keeping them instead of throwing them away. It's like what Jasmine said, when I buy something, I want everything that comes with it .

Yes, I don't buy a used CD if the obi is not included!
And I could never throw them out.

it feels like it is incomplete without the OBI. [2]

In the US, CDs don't come with OBIs so I like being able to have something to differentiate the spines of my US CDs from my Japanese CDs. They stand out more that way. I wish I could buy the OBIs for my Japanese CDs that I didn't get one with (like two of my used CDs).

Yes, they are. I can't stand when people just throw them. Why not simply put them in the booklet or something?? I don't even throw the non-resealable plastic wrapping and I put my CD in them again (mostly because there's a sticker on them, and besides it can hold the obi as well).

Yes. For instance if I'm buying a used CD, buying one without the OBI is basically buying an incomplete album. haha. I want the whole package

I'm glad to hear that there are others who feel that OBIs are as much as a necessity to them as it is to me. Sometimes I've wondered if it was a little weird for me to be so anal about OBIs but apparently there are people who feel that they are just as important.

If you're missing the OBI, you're missing a cool part of the artwork.

It doesn't matter so much to me~ If it doesn't have it, oh well, if it does, then yay~ I won't throw them away, but I won't go crazy over them either (^_^)

I simply don't want to have anything missing from my album, if I just wanted the songs I could go to itunes.com or get them illegally, but since I decide to buy an album in a physical way I don't want it to be incomplete

same here, I only want/need them with Ayu cds not for others =)

Yes, obis are a necessity to me.

I'm not a hardcore collector but if I'm buying an used CD and it originally came with an obi than that's how I have to get it.

yes, think that OBIs are piece of the artwork, so i love them.
it's always so nice to guess what kind of obi there will be with cd.

and i won't buy the cd (from ebay) if it doesn't have the obi.
