    To be honest I think most of the replies are immature here. I’m sure most of you would return a damaged case for a CD/DVD/Blu Ray.

    Not quite sure what OP wants Amazon to do - sent it back get a new one. Things get smashed in deliveries not the end of the world.
    Really? The pain of having to queue up at the post office or waiting for a courier etc for minor cosmetic damage to the external packing? If it was to be a present for someone it’d be slightly different but if its just for me then no way would it be going back. 

    If it was a CD it’d get ripped and put in the attic, if it were a DVD/Bluray then the disc would be put in the film file and the case put in recycling bin.

    Buy a replacement case for pennies and put the £2.50 to something
    Even buying it as a gift I'd just swap it with another CD case I had rather than waste time sending it back. I would accept the £2.50 voucher though to use on a different order.

    I was in two minds... if it was certainly something they want/dont have then I may do the same... I’d be hesitant to unseal it for the arguments on returning it should I have misjudged their music tastes or what CDs they already have etc.
