It is suprisingly hard to bend CDs into an state where they don't work any 
more. My experience with AOL shows that even dropping CDs on their side from 
three storeys is unlikely to even chip the disc. Which is why AOL discs make 
such great frisbees (just make sure you catch them - they HURT if they hit 
you :o) ).

A normal jewel case should be ok if you're worried about posting an 
unprotected CD. It's more important to make sure one side doesn't get 
scratched than worrying about bending.
