Last Updated: June 26, 2017

Have you ever purchased a CD whose case is ether horribly cracked or is in desperate need of repair? This trick should help you fix that problem and enjoy your CD's longer.

Steps

1
Find an old CD that you don't listen to and whose case is in better condition than the one you're trying to replace.
2
Put your fingers under the part that holds the disk and pry upwards. Move your fingers down the length of the case until the bottom has popped out. Don't worry! You can still put it back in.

3
Take out the paper backing in the CD, but remember which way it went in. Also do the same to the cover "booklet" and the CD itself.
4
Put them in a separate area or throw them out and repeat steps 2-5 with the new CD. Also put the parts in a separate area.
5
Place the paper backing of the new CD into the back side of the old CD case, then snap the old disk holder into the case. It should click into place. If it does not do it right away, keep pushing, yet don't push too hard or it might crack the case.
6
Replace the cover "booklet" with your new one and do the same with the CD itself.
7
Repeat steps 7-8 with the new case and the old CD.
8
Ta-Da! You're done and you have a CD that looks like new!

Make sure the old CD case is of one you don't mind replacing and not something that you might want to use again and again in the future.
