If your going to add another type I would suggest Steelcase, they are becoming more common for new and re-releases.
why don't you at least read a topic if you're going to reply in it? Ouch.. why not read my entire post.. before flaming. | | | Are you local?

Skip Those are called "Envelope" Cases, Skip. I guess we could change it from "Slip Cover" to "Wrap" Cases. | | | | Dan | | | | Last edited: by Dan W |

Ouch.. why not read my entire post.. before flaming. You obviously didn't even get what I meant (a hint: look for the words steel book in the original first post). I read your whole post, but there was nothing to say about the rest of it, that's why I quoted only a part. | | | | - Jan |

One of the things that concerns me is the similarity between "Slip Case" and "Slip Cover".
Personally, I think we should call the "Slip Cover" cases, "Sleeves" or some such. Anything so that we don't run into confusion again.
Here is an example of what I mean and it's from this thread.
Quote:
so basically 99.9% of digipaks will now become "slip case" because they have slip cases?
that is ridiculous to me.
on one hand you cannot say that a case type is "digipak" (one. two or even three-disc digipak) because it has one movie, and on the other hand call it a "slipcase" because it has more than one movie in it.
It is not my intention to single this user out (notice I removed his/her name from the quote). This simply illustrates what I mean about the similarity of the two case names.
Just at first glance, I would say a slipcase (notice I used it as one word not two) refers to something that contains more than one item, as in a "case of beer" or a "case of oil" etc. A slip cover (two words) refers to a single item, like a "canteen cover" or a "pillow cover". That's just me, though, your mileage may vary.
Either you missed my point or I'm missing yours.
What you and this user did, is confuse the term "Slip Case" (Box set case) with Slip Cover (sleeve). It has nothing to do with how many words you parse it into. All of the Kriks understand what I'm saying and they were the first to point it out in this thread.
My point on that is, I think we need to call it Sleeve instead of Slip Cover. This would have no effect on Slip Case. OK, that's really what I was trying to get to anyway. I agree, Sleeve would be much better. | | | John

The method of packaging used to hold the disc itself has nothing to do with the outer case that holds it. Slipcase use is seen with individual single disk keep cases, thinpak keep cases, multi disk keep cases, and all kinds of digipack arrangements. exactly, which is why adding "slip cover" is ridiculous to me. so now all dvds that have some sort of slip cover will have that as their case type?? totally ignoring what holds the discs?? unless this issue is about only using this case type designation with box sets. then how do you make that clear? you'd have to specify that in the rules. this could lead to more confusion that we already have. |

Agreed, most slip covers are nothing but a marketing tool. And of a limited number. The DVDs tend to be sold without the slip covers for a long time after the initial release, and I would say the online database should reflect what the majority would end up owning. |
