Slipcover Case for Blu-Ray?

[crystal_sun]

All,

My case feels so naked without one . I love slipcase cover like the one from Crank, The Cars, Ratatouille, Pixar Short Films, Hairspray, etc.

Why don't they make it standard to include them? Or why are they being selective to include in certain movies? It's almost standard to include a slipcover case in regular DVD...but not Hi-Def?

Any online site making custom made slipcase cover for sale? Hint hint...I hope someone out there with the experience and knowledge to start producing them as I'll be the first in line to order them for all my movies. I would like to dress them up so it doesn't look so plain on the shelves.

Any information is appreciated.

I to like slip covers but I dont need them on all my movies. That being said, since Hairspray has a slip cover is Shoot 'em Up supposed to? I dont know how New Line is doing their releases and I picked up the last Shoot 'em Up from Best Buy and we all know how that is, someone could have stolen it or it could have gotten damaged or someone bought the movie and returned it without the slip cover.

Like I said, I dont need a slip cover but I do like them when they are available. So does anyone know?

Also, props to New Line for including cover art on the inside of the case like Disney, Sony, and Lionsgate do. Warner and especially Fox need to jump on that bandwagon. opening your blue tinted see through case and seeing some cheap lookin white on the inside is getting tiring. (But its not as though Fox isnt a great studio with great transfers).

Meh...the less packaging, the better, if you ask me. Less rubbish in landfills in the future.

I did like the packaging for POTC 3... nice texture.

While I'm not a conservationist or anything, I can't stand the slip covers. I take all mine off and throw them away when I get them. That includes the boxes the box sets come in. Just give me the Blu plastic case!

waste of paper, and furthermore waste of trees. lets live a blu and green world

Slipcovers are there for 2 reasons

1- They allow more attractive packaging. Embossing, gatefolds and such to be better eyecatchers

2- They make shoplifting by stealing the disc out of the box virtually impossible.

This is my take too, but I feel bad doing it as some are very nice. I just find fiddling with them frustrating.

I keep all mine in a box as well, can't seem to get rid of them . Although if I do, I'll sell them to someone here. A couple members have already shown interest in my Dracula cover.

I agree. Would go for a 5mm case if it had just a single disc.

Ditto....

If I buy a disc with a slipcover, it's immediately tossed in the garbage upon opening.

Same goes here

Those cardboard slip covers are a waste of paper if you ask me. They add nothing but bulk to the packaging and should be done away with as quickly possible.

slip covers rock s0x~!

I like it when they're not poorly designed. Worst Blu-Ray item with slip cover: Assassin's Creed LE. Mixing with a tin just doesn't make for easy replacement.

I'd say Hairspray is the best one I have -- it has nice, attractive form and function.

I don't see the slipcases going too much beyond the major releases for a while. It's something I can take or leave, but enjoy when done right.

At least BD is more uniform from the start than DVD was (paper vs. plastic, clamshell cases vs. CD-style jewel cases, etc.).

I just hope we get don't get too many paper packages. I've always hated any DVD case where the package is entirely paper except for a poorly glued tray.

I think some of you members need to save your slip covers so you can trade them later. There's alot of members on here who loves them. So instead of throwing them out save them, you might have a gold mine later. As for me i really hate digi books.

[Seboist]

Slip covers go straight into the garbage when I get them.

It's a nice addition, but I don't feel like it's absolutely necessary. Afterall, I'm buying the product for the, well, product
