Plastic slipcovers instead of cardboard J-cards

[snooloui]

I really wish more retailers/studios would use these more often. They look and feel really great as opposed to a cardboard J-card. It would be great if we could convince one of the retailers to use this (i'm thinking Blufans, Entertainment Store, Kimchi or even Zavvi).

If you don't know what I mean, here is an example (Inception Germany 1st release):

Yep, it's still one of my absolute favourite steelbooks (and incidentally one of my first!). The clear sleeve is awesome, has all the info you need on it and also protects the steelbook on the shelf.

 

[Real Steel]

Yes, I'm for it. Has the printed info on the transparent slipcover and still shows the steelbook underneath. The plastic slipcover protects the steelbook too and it's easier to store than the folded paper/cardboard slip.

War of the Arrows is an excellent example. I posted details here:

I voted yes, but it doesn't really even have to be this uncommon plastic variety - all the text info could be placed on a full sized regular slipcover used for Blurays and some rare asian steels.

...and ofc these card slipcovers are often embossed, glossy or holographic

I wish this would happen but wouldnt adding plastic hike the price up since plastic is more expensive then cardboard?

Better protection and I have 2 on ps3 games that I have SO SO much better. YEP from me even IF the cos is a little more.

I agree that t would be great to have plastic slips. It would help The Prestige with that black banner. However, I think it would raise the price of every steel by quite a bit and you already have people moaning about how much Zavvi and ES charge.

Yes, protects the steel and doesn't effect the look of the artwork too much either...
