How to transplant SteelBook™ spines?

My guess is: nowhere

Maybe the only option is to find some cheap Snow White SteelBook cases from ebay.

Theres gotta be a site on nett that only sells the covers.

Even if you could get one, you still would need the spine from a SteelBook to put the spine artwork externally and in the interior spine as well.

I don't know if I am reading that right. You do know that the spine is just one piece of metal, right? The artwork that you see inside on the spine is painted on the underside of the spine that is glued on the outside.

Good luck finding the inserts on the net sans any metal covers or metal spine. Scanavo is the one that makes them, and they don't sell them unless it's with an official SteelBook release w/ covers and all. You would pretty much have to know someone on the inside of Scanavo that could get them for you, and even then, they might not be willing or able to do it. Like lolototo said, your best bet is to score some cheap Snow Whites or maybe even some Bonds (some were 2-discers), or you could also hunt for damaged SteelBooks.

I am aware it is one piece, but I am was talking about was even if they can find the inner SteelBook trays, they would need the metal piece to put the spine artwork. Otherwise it wouldn't look right without that metal spine.

Ah, ok. I guess if one was thinning out a jumbo, and all they could get their hands on was an insert with no metal on it what-so-ever, they could cut up the large jumbo metal spine to fit. I don't think I'd bother trying, but I guess it's possible.

If you damage a spine and as long as you have printed artwork, you can make a spine from a thin strip of plastic. Thats what I did for Monsters, Inc. I defy any one to spot the difference, even close up.

I misunderstood the question. I was thinking on ordenery amaray covers not steelbook covers.
