The Lawnmower Man was on T.V. a year or so ago... I hadn't seen it since it 
came out in about 1991(?). I was surprised that the CD's in that movie did 
actually have protective cases.

And then in The Matrix they had MiniDiscs for data, and those obviously have 
protective cases. I wonder why such things didn't catch on for consumer data 
storage... (not MiniDiscs for music... it's failures in the consumer market 
are well documented).
