Re: CD Protectors
What the... what? A picture might help. Without knowing what "cd shaped things" actually look like or more specifically, what you are referring to, I have know idea. I have a lot of vendors I purchase media related bags, boxes, and misc supplies from.

I think he's referring to the plastic "cake" holders of blank media on big spindles. No, I'm pretty sure they aren't available through normal retail outlets unless you want to buy the blank media with it.

This is what I think he's talking about: At the very bottom of a stack of CDs in a spindle is a clear plastic disc which protects the very bottom disc from getting scratched on the spindle itself.

^Ah yes, makes sense. But I don't think one can actually purchase them. (Sorry, but the request is hilarious)

I quit using those things because it made more sense to just burn a copy onto a CD-R and just let that get trashed.
With an MP3 player, I don't even have to worry about trashing a CD-R.

Re: CD Protectors
Oddly enough, I need about 50 of these "clear plastic cd shaped things" for a DIY project. You can actually find many places online where you can buy empty disc spindles by the case load - but, to my surprise, no place sells just those clear protective discs. Last night I'm going through empty spindles I saved, gathering what few I have up while thinking to myself "Wasn't there a discussion about this once on dvdtalk?"
So after digging this thread back up, I now realize this topic didn't go well 5 years ago. And I may be setting myself up for the same level of abuse. But then I thought, what have I got to lose? (Only respect it seems.)
This link is the best I could find, but they're not exactly CD/DVD shaped so they won't work. I don't really need a hole in the center, but over $1.50 each with shipping? Sheesh.

And no, I won't buy those ridiculous D-skin protectors.
