Looks like Righteous Kill isn't a steelbook, just a knock off:



Which in that case, I don't want it

Yes. If you look at the title of this sub-forum, it's SteelBook Discussion. SteelBook™ is a trademarked product of Scannavo and not generic term for all metal case. That Righteous Kill is a MetalPak™. Many people who collect SteelBook™ cases will not touch a MetalPak™ case with a 10 foot pole (sort of like Lego™ bricks vs. MegaBlocks™, if you know what I mean).

All Swedish sites indicate steelbook. I'll let you guys know once it's okay.

Yes!
They get dented very easily, poor paint scratches very easily, it's not as heavy as a steelbook and it just looks and feels very cheap. But that's just my opinion

No, like I said, it's like the difference between Lego bricks and Mega Blocks or Rolls Royce and Cadillac. To some they may seem similar, but to others, completely different.

The spines on Metalpaks don't look as nicely done as a SteelBook, and they just feel rather cheap compared to a SteelBook, imho. They may look the same to many people, but I just don't think they are of the same quality overall as a SteelBook. I have one Metalpak, the Doomsday dvd from Sweden, and although I do like the artwork on it, I don't think I'll be picking up anymore.

If it doesn't say SteelBook(tm) inside, I don't want it.

I just wish on-line stores would use the term properly since it is a trademark of Scanavo. That would make things alot easier.
