| | Posted: | | | | I had been under the impression the book was built in to the disc holder, but on further inspection, it's removable, so withdrawing contribution. However, there are other questionable cases, like the Godzilla/Gojira 2 pack. |

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you, Ace. Which Godzilla/Gojira package are you referring to.
If it's the one I think it is, that is a clamshell. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | No, I own it, Ace. there is no book, while a Clamshell is not perfect, it is very close. It does look like a Book, but there is NO book, it's only discs. If you were thinking Digibook, make note there is only ONE company that is using Digibooks and they introduced as well, Warner Home Video. In fact next weeks Doctor Zhivago is a Digibook release. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | I have a question about the differences between slip covers and slip cases. It seems to me that slip covers are permanently open on two opposite sides, while slip cases are permanently open on only one side. The pictures in the first post of this thread seem to bear this out.
If this is true, then a slip case can hold a single case of another type, such as a digipak. It seems that some of you are under the impression that a slip case must have at least two other cases inside. To me, that doesn't make any logical sense.
I've read through this entire thread, but I'm still not sure of the consensus, or why anyone would think that for a case to be a slip case it requires at least two child cases.
I'm just wondering, if one person moves into a house, does the house suddenly become an apartment? In other words, shouldn't a type of case always be called something because of the way it is constructed, instead of the number of things inside it? |

Well, I've always been under the impression that slip cases are for cases that house more than one case. At least I think that's how Ken defined it and that's how we define it in profiles. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

Slip covers, also called O or D cases, are indeed open at two ends or sides. While a slip case generally has one way in or out. Unfortunately some users a few years ago led ken to make a ruling which is confusing. Which could lead to SOMETIMES a slip case being called a slip cover based on the contents of the case.<shrugs> | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

With respects to contributions that is absolutely NOT the definition of slip cases and slip covers. @Rshouts, Movieman has it right. For the purposes of the program a Slip Cover only contains one physical case (keep case, thinpak, digipak - anything) whereas a Slip Case contains multiple cases. Please note the number of films, discs etc. are irrelevant. Just count the cases inside. |

| | Posted: | | | | Precisely my point, north. Both Slip cover and Slip Case have specific mkeaning but Profiler has chosen a different definition which IS confusing. And Slip Cover and Slip Case have NOTHING to do with content, outside of Profiler. Under Profiler if a Slip Case contains a Digipak, we don't check Slip case, we check Digipak and Slip Cover which is simply put, not correct and i confusing to those who DO understand the terminology. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks guys. Even though it doesn't really make sense logically, I'll abide by the rules. I just wish the rules were based in logic, which would prevent a lot of frustration when contributing. |
