| | Posted: | | | | Some of us should have learned that it makes more sense to use a helpful description of the topic as subject for new threads.   |

But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | The same thing was attempted with the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' box set. I was the lone 'no' vote for that contribution. Seems we have quite a few people just voting 'yes' without looking at the contribution. Kinda sad when you think about it as, in that case, the contributor added the 'slip cover' option to the 'slip case'. I don't believe I have ever seen a box set 'slip case' inside a 'slip cover'.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

| | Posted: | | | | I'd say the Seinfeld season box sets qualify as a slip cover with a slip case. I have to deal with those all the time at work. Each disc is in a thinpak, which then sits in a slip case, and a cover - cardboard, vertically aligned, exactly like the slip covers of DVDs, goes over that. But that's the only example I've ever seen like it (and it's a pain in the rear, almost as bad as those gosh-darned tabs they put on keep cases these days). | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

I don't believe I have ever seen a box set 'slip case' inside a 'slip cover'. Dead Like Me S1: Slimcases inside cardboard slipcase inside plastic slipcover. Alias S2: Keepcases inside cardboard slipcase inside plastic slipcover. Those are R1-US releases and just off the top of my head. There are probably more even in my collection. | | | | Matthias | | | | Last edited: by goodguy |

These UK R2 releases would seem to be in the same vein, i.e. Keepcases inside cardboard slip case (single side entry) inside plastic slip cover (top & bottom entries): Futurama Series 1 to 4: 5 039036 008099 5 039036 009935 5 039036 013062 5 039036 013116 | | | | Chris | | | | Last edited: by Mole |

| | Posted: | | | | They're not all that uncommon, and they do serve a purpose. To wit: they keep those slippery thincases from falling out of the slip case when you pick the thing up the wrong way, and also provide two extra surfaces for art work. | | | John
