Lost CD Case

Lost CD Case? Don't wanna scratch the disk when you set it somewhere? Just put a piece of Kleenex down and you have a spare CD case until you find a real one and it might clean it if it has smudges.

unless its the lotion-y kind of tissue, then it streaks it more =P haha

then you should probably not use Kleenex then

i just put the cd upside down with the non important part down, so the important side doesnt touch anything and get scratched

but if you leave it then dust will settle on the top of the disk and you won't be able to get it off thus ruining the disk unless you just set it down and then pick it right back up

and just to let you know, i'm about 50% sure i heard that the back part of a CD is more important...if this gets scratched, your CD has died

the side that they print the bands name and all that other stuff is more important?
that doesnt really make sense seeing as the other side is what the laser reads

its not, thats a nerd myth! i scratched the hell out of that side of a cd on purpose to see and the cd still worked...then i threw it like a frisbee into the wall...niether half worked...
