Which is better DVD case or Jewel case

But I haven't been able to print replacement inserts in a way that they look satisfactory in a jewel case, but printed DVD covers look fine. The third option would be CD poly cases, which I haven't experimented with yet.

For my jewel case inserts, I find that the 50 lb. premium matte paper works very well. It's important to score a line before you fold the spines in. Otherwise the crease never looks good.
Oh and the poly case is a very tempting thought. I love the look. Very similar to jewel cases except that there is a little more room on the spine for artwork. Also, you have uniform thickness despite the number of discs in the game. But I still have the problem of finding artwork for approx 150 games. I know most of the more popular ones are done, but many are still missing........ I need to get to scanning a lot of my games.

I don't collect PS1 anymore, but when I did, I preferred jewel cases. They take up little space and new replacement cases are easy enough to find. If you go the dvd case route that could end up being a lot of cover making and printing if you grow a sizeable collection.

I believe the game you are talking about is Tokimeki Memorial 2, if anyone was curious. I was super impressed when they actually said my name in game. I was not so impressed when I had to change discs 20 minutes into the game.
