Spark,

again brilliant idea. However, when I went to use the decorative clips, the CD case would not shut completely. Although it was almost all the way closed, it wasn't flush. I am having a clearance issue, so I actually did without the 3M stick, and used super glue. I will post up some pictures, but I think it came out really good. I also used a clip on the bottom and the side.

well thats a good solution as well... now did you push in on the plastic cd holding tab? if you take the shell out of the case and press in it caves in better and will give ya more clearance :) would be cool to see the picts  8)

pics of my ghetto solution - super glue 2 clips. The only thing I found Sparky had 40 packs, so I had clips to spare:





2nd one is a little blurry. Now I was VERY conservative on putting the super glue on the clips. First I figured out where they would go, do a test fit before gluing. Then just dab a tiny bit on left and right side of the clips. Use the tip of the super glue dispenser to spread the glue around. Then carefully press down on the exact spot that you want to place the clip. Try to not move it around, that will not look as nice (although sometimes I moved just a little and you couldn't tell. Hold it for like 5 seconds let it sit for another 10, you are good to go!

But yeah Sparky, maybe these are different? I could not slide a Hucard (without sleeve) in like you did and close the case. It had nothing to do with the center piece, the clearance on the clip just didn't work. But the solution I posted works very nicely and it looks good.


Also, that is a badge sleeve that I cut to fit a hucard. Of course I just bought a 10 pack of hucard sleeves so don't really need this one anymore.
