Gave me the impression that the slim cases are a cheap, low-quality alternative to the standard Amaray cases, so I'm grateful they went with the latter.
I have several box sets that use the slim line snap cases and I've never had a problem. Seinfeld seasons 1 and 2, Family Guy volumes 1 and 2, and a couple others. No problems with breakage whatsoever. And the discs have no problems that I've seen snapping on the spindle. If anything, the spindle is sturdier than most larger cases as those spindles have the thin plastic flays (dunno what else to call them) that tend to break off much like CD packaging. The slim line cases have a solid hub that have small knobs that the disc snaps over. Never breaks. Although after some time the knobs may wear down, I suppose. But by that same logic, the hubs in larger cases would likely break before the knobs of a slim line wear down.
