Yes, the spindles are a real pain in the backside. The case itself is very sturdy (unlike any other cardboard case I've seen), and mine is still in excellent condition.
As to whether it's worth pursuing the original, that's your call. On the shelf it looks like a keepcase, nothing very special spine-wise. It isn't nearly as nice as the limited-edition fabric cover for Lawrence of Arabia - but it's still nice.
