SD cards now selling without a jewel case?

I just purchased a 2-pack at Costco and found no jewel case when I got it home.  Just the card.  I checked out a best buy and radio shack and found the same thing.  Is this the new policy?  There’s no problem with the contacts on the cards getting covered in lint and rubbing up against the keys in your pocket?  Are they really so expensive that SanDisk can’t include them with their cards any longer?

Which card did you buy ?  Cheaper typically dont come with case …
