A Digipak:
There are many differences between a digital and cd cases, I think the main ones are quality, content and price. A digipak usually has more content such as art books, extra cd's with bonus tracks, as well as a more high quality feel. Traditionally they are made of laminated paper with a plastic cd holder or a sleeve/'pouch made of carload in which the cd is kept as well as additional pouches for booklets with art work etc. One of the main downsides of digipaks is the durability, since cardboard easily scuffs and doest fare well when in contact with water. SO they are not as durable as hard plastic cases.
CD cases are usually made of 2 or 3 plastic pieces fitted together with a plastic holder for the actual CD just like you may find them in the digipaks. Overall they are usually cheaper to buy than digipaks and therefore contain less.But they feature the same artwork at the front and they are more protective than cardboard digipaks.
