Forgive me if there is another post on this topic, but some CDs are just so darned hard to get out of their case! No matter how hard you try to be careful, they just won't budge without strong force. Does anyone know if accidental flexing like this will damage CDs??

I've cracked the clear center ring before and had to request a replacement, so it can happen. T.J.'s recommendation is for older cases. The modern ones, standard and clamshell, don't have much give no matter what.
Breaking one or two of the "teeth," which has been recommended here before, actually works if you're careful. I used to think it would just make the disc fall off the holder - which would happen on those older standard cases if they broke teeth! - but maybe different materials or densities are used now. I find breaking a tooth makes the holder work pretty much exactly like it should have to begin with.

My solution for discs that won't come out of the spindles...I take a nail file (emery board) and sand down fractionally a couple of the plastic pegs/tabs that sit above the disc. Then the disc can more easily be removed.

Anyone remember when the problem was that the discs were always falling off the teeth?
Broken teeth and loose discs when opening?
Then trying to convince someone that the disc was scratched and needed replacing?

That's the main problem I have with CDs, the boxes are so brittle & it's not unusual to receive the disc with most of the teeth having broken off (the LLL Disaster Box was like that), also dropping the case can result in it shattering (that happened just a few days ago with the FSM Wild Bunch set, it only fell a couple of feet onto carpet).
I find the best way to replace cases is to buy CDs from charity shops (all closed right now), throw away the discs & use the case, the older the case, the better, they seem to have been made from much less brittle plastic 20-30 years ago (& the plastic was thicker then as well).
The big problem I've had with discs is Blu-rays in a steelbook, almost impossible to get the disc out, I don't buy steelbooks anymore.

Accidental Disc Flexing. I'm seeing a doctor about that today.
