    Maybe something like these disc shields?

    And, here's some that go on the bottom of the disc instead of the top:

    Remember, to make copies and use only those copies. Once you do have working copies, there is also a thread on this site on how to remove small scratches.

    Why not? Then you can lock the originals in a safe place and not have to be so fussy with the copies.

    You can do the plastic shields also.

    Put the backup in the box?

    Do these disc shields cause a wobble effect similar to the application of labels where you end up with read errors?
    No, I'm from Iowa. I only work in outer space.

    Babyboo,

    Do you find that those labels do that a lot and if so, what is your preference for labeling?

    I just found these mentioned today on CDFreaks site, you can go here to take a look. They say it's like a condom for your discs , complete protection from scratches and damage. These might actually be worth it, I think they are around a buck each:
