For several years now I'm getting DVDs by mail from NetFlix every few days and sending them back in nothing but a thin paper envelope. Not a single one was broken so far.
So far, that's been my experience, too, so it's safe to say that they haven't been put through a mail sorter (as Steven notes). I generally find the discs themselves to be much more resistant to breaking than the "jewel boxes". Netflix' use of a tyvek envelope helps prevent the scratching failure mode. -michael NadaPong: Network game demo for Apple II computers!
