| | Posted: | | | | There's a contribution up right now concerning a slip cover for the Star Trek TNG Blu-ray set and it got me thinking, is the clear cover that goes over the slip case (which contains several HD slim cases) actually a slip cover? I ask because it's similar to the Ghost in the Shell DVD movie which has a clear slip cover as well, only difference is that comes in a digipak.
I'm sure there's something in the rules against checking the slip cover box, in conjunction with the case type being a slip case, but I couldn't find it in the rules. And just to note, this is not my contribution, but somebody else's.
And please don't flame me (it's a warm Saturday afternoon here, lol). It's presumably a simple question since everybody has voted no on this contribution so I must be missing something. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah... you can have both slip case and slip cover... I have many sets like this.
There is nothing against the rules for having both... Not sure why there would be... if it exists it should be able to be noted in profile as far as I am concerned.
You mentioned digipaks... if there is only the one digipak it wouldn't be listed as a slipcase anyway. Per Ken if it holds only 1 case you use the inner case type... you only use slipcase if the slipcase houses more then 1 case.
But I have several sets where the discs are in Thinkpaks... held in a slip case... with a slip cover over all of it. The parents are slip cases with slip cover checked... and the child profiles are Thinpaks. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I only mentioned the digipak as an example for Ghost in the Shell. There's only one but it contains a clear slip cover similar to that with the Star Trek TNG set.
So, the question is, why for something like the Star Trek set couldn't have slip cover checked? Right now the votes are 0-10 against (the most descriptive no vote being "The Slip Case is the Slip Cover. Profile is correct, per the rules.").

| | Posted: | | | | Since I don't have the set to know how it is I can't say if it is right as is or not. Basically per Ken... if the main case houses more then one case it is a slip case. If it houses just one case then you use the slip cover check box. And if you have a slip case holding say 3 thinpaks and over all of it is an additional slip... then the parent is a slip case with the slip cover checked... with thinpaks as the child profiles. This is all in the pinned Slip cases and slip covers with images that Ken said was the correct way to do it. From there I would really have to see what the case actually looks like to say what is or is not correct. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes but this one has a case with several thin BD cases (one for each movie plus one bonus disc) and then there's a clear cover over that box (and on this cover is the title of the set and on the back the features). Without this, the box itself would be blank save for the Star Trek logo on the front.
Hope that makes sense, hard to describe and I can't think of any other examples except for the original movie set.
I'm sure it all makes sense and just a matter of semantics but just wanted to be clear. | | | | Last edited: by The Movieman |

| | Posted: | | | | I missed the plastic cover when I glanced at this set sitting on my shelf. Upon closer inspection, the plastic bit would be considered a slip cover. I will change my vote accordingly. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | From the sounds of it... it sounds like the parent profile should be slip case with slip cover checked. I have no idea why it is getting all no votes... but per Ken's decision that is what it should be. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I haven't bought this set yet, but it's just like the BD set for the original movies, which has a clear plastic slip cover over a slip case containing the thin paks. Since there's nothing that says what a slip cover must be made of, I'd say the votes are simply incorrect. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.
