I know but it hasn't been updated for a month and I am quite happy to regularly update this thread.

Fair enough, I think that thread contains numerous titles to place on your initial list. btw The UK's Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince - nice slip cover....shame about the 'orrible pair of non-peel stickers that took over 20 mins to fully remove! Grrrr...

And here's for the UK Slipcovers:

007 James Bond: Quantum of Solace

The way I see it, a slipcover is opened on the top and bottom so you can slide your Blu-ray up and down.
Whereas a slipcase only has one side open so you can slide your Blu-ray sideways.

Arkadin · 12-08-2009, 10:49 PM

many collectors use the term "slipsleeve" for the typical open ended sleeves.
imo this is a better term, but that's just my opinion.

Sleeve has this flimsy connotation to it. Case is quite general and can apply to single-amaray or thick collections.

There is no difference. Some people say cover, some say case.

On a side note, this list is kind of pointless because they only sell slipcases for 1-2 months from release and then stop...

M · 12-09-2009, 12:07 PM

I would have thought a cover was something that slides over the top of the blu-ray which can be removed from top or bottom and a case that allows you to slide the blu-ray's from the side?

Not that it matters.

they are quite flimsy so makes sense to me.

Fair enough. You must agree, though, that cover feels more like something you just slip off whereas a case surrounds the content, right?

Not really. Many people like myself collect slipcovers and would like a definitive list.
