Does anyone know any independent tests or have an opinion on which is preferred in a stable, climate controlled environment: jewel boxes or "Corrosion Intercept" technology sheets and their ilk? (Yes, I know "Corrosion Intercept" jewel boxes are available. My budget does not permit their purchase.) I have always understood that the "bump" on a cd (or dvd) jewel box helps prevent scratches and affords some protection from chemical interactions. However, I can't recall or find an exact source. If the jewel box's plastic is inert, how much off-gassing can there be? Any information on this would be helpful. THANKS.
