What does rigid slipcase mean?

I think it's just meant to distinguish it from most slip cases for movies, which are pretty flimsy. The US doesn't typically get Steelbooks with slip covers. The slip covers are typically the ones around Blu-ray or 4K cases. But compared to other premium releases, it's probably the same. Just a harder cardboard that doesn't easily bend
 
I have a saying, " no matter how much the packaging lowers or crushes the imagery of the movie, the movie itself stays in tact. "
Having said that, this still remains as one of my all time favorite films, bar none.
 
What does rigid slipcase mean?
Rigid means unable to bend or be forced out of shape; not flexible
It's strong cardboard

It's a type of slipbox that Arrow use on some releases
Also used by
Eureka/88 Films/StudioCanal/Powerhouse Films/Sevond Sight Films with some of their releases.
 
Looks like Target might be getting this as well.
