Curious, do you guys count those slips that have the back paper and then just come around to the front and cover like 1/4 the blu-ray as a slip cover?

For instance, I think Band of Brothers had something like this ... Iron Man 2 steelbook had this as well.

Do you consider these slips as well ..... ? Any name you call these?
 
I wouldn't consider them as slipcovers. They're more like a cardboard piece. Even though we all know slipcovers are made out of cardboard it's in the same family but they have a different name. Not sure what to call them.
 
these are my 2 cents

its simple, and there's really no argument whatsoever IMHO..

There are 3 distinct types of slip packaging

1. Slipcovers - cardboard sleeve with openings on top and bottom for bluray.

2. Slipboxes - cardboard sleeve with one side opening, these are usually made out of a thicker cardboard. Some foreign slipboxes do not even have an opening.

example:

3. What I like to call slipamabob - these are weird (or special) slipcovers made for first prints and for promotional purposes.

eample: band of Brothers, miss march.
