Australia Packaging

I am editing my own database. (Not sure if I have a life anymore)

I want to properly designate the right packaging type to my blu-ray, and I want to get a general consensus on what exactly are the names of the different types of cases.

All I need to know about are names for the European type of plastic case, and the American type, and the type that is thin like the American ones but has clip to keep the case closed.

The names of these will help to make my own database consistent.

Cheers.

Amaray - our standard 14mm cases. Amara are now making an eco-version with thinner plastic, slightly more squared edges and a less oval shaped relief where the stamped logo is.
One Time Case - The square edged ones 20th Century Fox have used
Vortex - The US cases used by Disney/Sony: basically the thinner version of our Amaray. There is an Eco version with slightly thinner walls.
Viva - The US cases used by WB, Universal etc. There is an Eco version with a cut-out recycling logo in the case.

All the plastic ones are just Amaray... they have different makers like Elite, but they are just classed as Amaray.
