Well, I was meaning the general Amaray-style cases, not particularly the actual brand. By average I simply meant the standard, and standards are boring! As for being cheap, comparitively to the other case options they are very cheap, hence why Hollywood adopted it for its standard (same reason most of the studios are backing HD-DVD and not Blu-ray, nothing really to do with what is best). I'm not against cheap (more often than not it is all I can afford) and quality Amarays are both practical and easy to customise, so for me my only problem is I find them boring (that and too many companies use cheap covers that warp way too easily).
I actually perspective-corrected your pics to measure it against CDs and DVDs, looks like they scale perfectly. The only problem with my funny label idea is most black media has a clear centre which would be visible and isn't found on Laserdiscs.
