Slim CD cases are pretty much all good quality, regardless of the brand. The only time you run into problems is when they've been mishandled and the corners get shattered.
Speaking of handling... I'm sincerely hoping DHL treats these well or I might be buying a big pile of plastic pieces.
So far, the PC cases that I've gotten from Fry's have gotten to me in pristine condition. Here's hoping that record remains unbroken.

Bought 1 at B&M. The Rebate Receipt references web address for Rebate Form but it is for Frys.com ONLY. I called Memorex and they are not aware of rebate for B&M purchases. I called the store and they received same response from Memorex. Store told me NOT to mail in rebate until they can resolve situation and to call back in 3 days.

Does anyone have link to B&M rebate?

timefades said:Ground shipping for me is $13.98. Is this a good deal? How is the quality of these cases?I often see 100-packs of similar CD cases for $20 elsewhere. As Eliteswordfighter said, the quality is horrible, but not because these particular cases are worse than other brands of crystal clear cases but because crystal clear cases are made of styrene, which is virtually the definition of cheap plastic. If you want shatterproof cases, get the black or cloudy white ones, which are both made of polyproylene.
Shipping is ~9 bucks for me. I've jumped on these a couple of times at Staples when it was b1g1 100pk for 20.00. So this is right in line for what I'll pay for these. Thanks OP. Green!

Green!I got in on the Staplers 100 pack for $2.49 deal a couple of years ago; bought 2 packs and they're still in the shipping box.
The quality of these is no better or worse than other of comparable description. The slim cases are much more flimsy than standard cases which are twice as thick and have a larger hinge element. I've owned this brand in both styles (all clear, clear top and black back) and haven't noticed a difference in durability. If you drop any slims. all brands usually break right at the hinge. If you want unbreakable then try to find the translucent clamshell type which are much more.
It is true that these cases won't take rough handling well, they'll protect the disc but the case will crack at the hinges or cover with fairly mild rough treatment. But if you're storing discs on shelves or on a desk primarily, they're fine and compact. I bought a ridiculous amount of these when Staples had a couple of 'screwups' on pricing these and store burned DVDs in them. A few crack here or there if handled poorly, but they serve their purpose and protect the discs well. Around $8-10 for these is a good deal, about the cheapest I've seen them the last year or two has been around $13-14 for 100.
Apparently these might be color instead of clear as shown in photo.
I do know this having telephoned Frys:
The UPC is: 034707019935.
Whatever that is, that's what these are.
At this point, I believe they are the old color cases, recently discontinued by Memorex. But that's just an educated guess.
These numbers are tough to track down, especially on a Saturday.
BTW, the AR price remains extremely favorable, provided you can live with color (if I'm right). It would have been good for them to post an ad photo of what they're actually selling.
