Shutter unrated on Blu-ray (024543-523901) comes with a cardboard overlay (exact size of the cover) that has the Blu-ray logo and picture of a brown paper wrapper covering the actual cover (similar to official bootleg cover of Army of Darkness)  However this is a cardboard overlay and not the actual cover or slip cover.  I was wondering if this should be the cover scan according to the current rules.  Any comments?

Sounds like it. If that's what you see when it's on the shelf, that is what belongs in the DB.

I got mine on release date (actually a few days before) and I've never seen or heard of this "overlay case". Do you have a picture of it?

I'll try to post a picture later on tonight.  I wonder if it's a regional thing, but I don't recall anything really objectionable on the underlying cover.

This is the cardboard overlay on my copy of Shutter Blu-ray.  Yes, this is what you would see in the store.  The overlay is affixed to the cover with those sticky peel-off glue.



This is the existing cover and what is behind this cardboard overlay.

Where did you buy it?  It looks like something that might be placed at a Walmart or some other "family friendly" store to hide covers that they might otherwise find disturbing for public display.  I purchased it on the day of release and my cover is like the existing scan.

It was an EBay purchase.  According to the seller, all his Shutter Blu-rays had the cardboard overlay.

I bought my  Shutter Blu-ray at walmart when it came out and it it has  the overlay. The shutter dvd also came that way and still comes with overlay. I don't know if only walmart does the overlay though.
