Probably dust particles and slight rotation while in the backpack.

Friend, that’s a way too much perfectly circular scratching to be blaming it on rotation from shaking the case in a backpack imho. I’d be more inclined to think the damage happens in the player.

Yeah I agree, this doesn’t look like marks from a case.
I always check them before and after I put them into the players for this reason, and I guess it also wouldn’t cause similar scratches inside the cases.

Oh this takes me back
Likely a slightly warped CD case with a grippy bit in the middle that’s undersized. Which means the discs can rotate and then collide with the case. But key to the scratches is the undersized grippy thing, a good case won’t let your discs spin.
Cheap cases have been doing that since I was a kid and I burned my first CDs back in the day. Nothing quite like being the cool kid with a CD burner back in the day.
God I’m getting old.

Are you sure it’s the case and not the dvd player? My old PS2 would scratch the disks with its lens and made circular scratches similar to this.
Yeah, you can see the scratches inside the cases too.

Likely leftover debris from the player, unless you spin the discs in their cases.

Maybe switch to a using a binder?

That is not from the case.
1 year in a backpack can do wonders, especially when in buses and trains. Especially if backpack lint is involved and the case is fairly flexible.
