Say what? Using the picture as a reference, the slip cover is on the upper left, the slip case is on the upper right, and the keepcase is on the bottom center. |

Really, when did that change? Whether it holds one or more cases it still looks and performs the same function albeit it might be a little thinner for a single case though not always. EDIT: So what do we call a slip cover that's open on the top and bottom that slips over two or more cases; is this called a slip case now. | | | | Last edited: by rdodolak |

It changed with Ken's statement here. I see that post is from almost 5 years ago. Not sure how I missed that so long ago. So that leads me to my original question. How do we treat a slip cover with more than one keepcase? Is it still a slip cover or a slip case ... or boxset if it has two or more titles? I won't even bring up the HD cases for the moment. |

As it never made it into the rules, something I didn't notice, it was easy to miss. As for your question, at first blush, it sounds like it would be a slip case...because it contains more than one keepcase. If you had a set in mind, one that I could look at, I might be able to give you a better answer. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

It should probably be profiled like a box set, but that's not a case type we use anymore as it lead to confusion. Slip case was the replacement and I believe your example would still be a slip case. There is no requirement for a slip case to only have one opening, although that is by far the more common type. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

If you had a set in mind, one that I could look at, I might be able to give you a better answer. So, here's one that comes to mind although this is a two movie set; there are many more just like this. This has an O-sleeve, which is the terminology used by the studios, that fits over two separate cases. We use to refer to this as a slip cover.  So, should this be profiled as a slip case? We would then add the two individual releases (or child profiles) as box set contents for the parent profile. The individual, or child, releases will have a case type of HD Slim only and we would leave the slip cover checkbox unticked? |

While I don't agree...to me that is a slip cover...you have it correct. Slip Case for parent and HD Slim for the children with slip cover unticked. Thanks. I also tend to see that as a slip cover too regardless if it has multiple cases. For me I still use the term slip cover to mean an o-sleeve, with openings on top and bottom, that slides over a case(s). I tend to use slip case as a case with one opening where the case(s) slide into. Just trying to better understand the terminology used for DVDProfiler. |

| | Posted: | | | | I've got one more. What about releases which have a cardboard faceplate affixed to the front of the case such as The Killing: Season One or Sons of Anarchy: S3. Do we just ignore that?  | | | | Last edited: by rdodolak |

| | Posted: | | | | Rackenfrackensmackensnacken. Guess it's time for all of us to re-visit and re-study the rules.  I was also thinking O-cards are slip covers, one side open are slip cases, no matter what is under them. There's a thread somewhere close about the glued-on cardboard front covers some studios are now using on some new releases like Mirror Mirror and Wrong Turn 3. I think it was more of a "should we scan these" than "what do call these" thread though. I offer the term "Face Plate" or "Cover Plate" for your consideration, and to be a new packaging click option.  |
