| | Posted: | | | | The Elite case, used for HD DVD and Blu-Ray discs, seems to me to be a keepcase. But people are contributing these as being "custom" and changing "keepcase" to "custom." Any sense of where these should fall?
Example here:

They're certainly not designed for a specific DVD release, as you define Custom in the first post. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." | | | | Last edited: by gardibolt |

Sure looks like a keep case to me. Why would anyone think otherwise? If the Elite case example you show is typical of what is used for HD & Blu-Ray discs, it certainly isn't "custom."
I'm going to have to watch the case type more closely than I did before. I don't have any HD-DVD or Blu-Ray titles in my database yet, so I haven't seen the pingponging case types you describe. The most frequent thing I see is someone changing between keepcase and snapper. | | | Ken Hershberger

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know guys. I think these would justify a new case type.
While they are very similar to the typical keep cases used for standard DVD, they are different enough in size to request the addition of "Elite" to the list.
If the studios where to begin using these cases for standard DVDs I would certainly be one to request a new case type.
With that said, I don't think it much matters how they are designated at the moment because they will all probably have to be changed at a later date. | | | Dan W

| | Posted: | | | | With the way you posted that, I'm not sure if you want my answer or not because I'm not a moderator.
Can you give me a UPC number on these? I have never seen a combination Drawer/Digipak and as far as I know, Digipak has never made such a combination. They have combined a Clamshell and Digipak (entered as Custom) but Drawer cases are very rare and haven't been used in several years. It is my suspicion that you may have confused Drawer with another case type.
Please look at the picture of a Drawer Case in the first post of this thread. | | | Dan W

I know you would prefer a moderator to answer, but that's very, very unlikely. Dan (who's already responded) is your best bet to get a proper answer on your query.  | | | Nick

| | Posted: | | | | | Forgot to tell you. The boondock saints is special edition. The EAN is 706126344725 for the boondock saints and 706126345647 for the ninth gate. |

| | Posted: | | | | Both of those are Region 2 DVDs and I do not have either of them.
I looked online and couldn't find any images of these two cases. If you can, take a picture of the cases (open) so that it shows what you are describing and post them here. | | | Dan W

| | Posted: | | | | I think he's referring to the (actually quite common) combination of a digipack stored in a cardboard sleeve.
IMO that's digipack with regards to the case type, since the sleeve only matters when it comes to box-sets.
And I also believe he misreads the case type drawer (as do numerous others, btw).
And just FYI, pompel9, AFAIK there are no official moderators on this forum, just the admins. So waiting for a moderator to answer your question might lead to a long waiting period... So you might want to take what info Dan and Lithurge already gave you. | | |  |

| | Posted: | | | | Darxon,
I think you are probably right on this case type question but I am going to wait until he either posts an image or someone else who has the DVDs in question confirms it.
As far a "Drawer" cases go; I can make new scans but the photos are about as clear as it gets. If you have ever seen one of these you will never confuse it with another case type. It actually has a sort of push button release and slides out in a drawer. The "open" images show this case type in it's full open position. As you can see the disc does not come out easily and it caused damage to the disc. This is why it has gone the way of the Dodo bird. | | | Dan W

| | Posted: | | | | | I have a problem. There are two different opionons of what this film has as case type: Alien Quadrilogy with the ean: 013738007970. Are there any moderators who can say wheter it is a box set or a digipack? I think it is box set, but DigitalGhost think it is digipack. |

| | Posted: | | | | | I don't have a digital camera or any camera for that sake. I only have a scanner, and if i put it in the scanner i will damage it. So sorry i can't give you a photo of The boondock saints and the ninth gate. And i can't give you a photo of alien quadrilogy either. it's to big for the scanner, so i can't close the lid. I will look for them on internet. | | | | Last edited: by pompel9 |

Here's the image of the boondock saints. Inside of this is digipack. It has a hole in the top and bottom. The ninth gate is exactly like this. Couldn't find picture of it. | | | | Last edited: by pompel9 |
