Making your own cd jewel cases?

Remember the old tall-box cd cases that Sega CD and Saturn used (Playstation I suppose as well)? These were very brittle, broke easily, and are probably impossible now to buy replacements.

Anywho my question is this. If you had a vaccuum form table and some strong clear plastic, you could basically create your own jewel cases right? I figure it would probably be more trouble than it's worth and you could buy about 50 copies of an old sports game for a dollar each for replacement cases, but where is the fun in that?

Sword_Gun, my previous statement to you still applies..
For anyone else who doesn't know the shape of the case, they're about the same width as a cd case, about twice as tall, and ~.75" deep

heh, you could always make them out of clear sugar glass.

Then you could eat them when they break! Sweet! (pun intended)

What was your previous statement?
The name of the Cases (They look like ps2 cases) says Jewel case on it... Maybe thats the brand?

I don't know.

Yeah the problem with searching for them online (if they even exist anymore to buy) is that I have no idea what they would be called. Maybe if there's a patent number or something to that effect I could search for that.

Even so, if I could buy new ones they'd end up breaking just as easily so that's why I was wondering about making your own.

I made some of that one time and we used it to bash my borhter over the head with it when we got into a fight, I think I still have some...

But to be on topic, why do you want to use it anyway? I guess just to sell it?
