I agree with you on every point. Given the choice between clamshell and not-clamshell (it doesn't happen often, but it does happen) I chose not-clamshell every time, even though in my experience it's been more expensive for me to do so. Even so, I don't see them going anywhere for a long time.
DVD (and CD) cases, on the other hand; I've noticed *many* movies (at least of the movies I watch) recently releasing their DVDs in more carbon-friendly packaging, which just so happens to also be consumer-friendly. From Digipacks (most, but not all TV shows) to pure cardboard (Bender's Big Score, There Will Be Blood) to crazy hybrids that I don't know what to call. I don't see old-style DVD cases going away for good, if only for video stores, but DVD cases have started being much better.
The ones that I hate are the normal DVD cases that also have the little latches... ugh.
Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
