@severo, okay, that is pretty cool.^^

But do you understand what I mean?

Received my copy today, seems Fox have changed the j-card slips and made them to cover the back of the steelbook.

scratch on the back-used a sharpie-sorted........

to be honest, most of the time, not really.

The problem is, Scanavo uses since 1-2 years thinner metal for there steelbooks.

Wreck wrote this about the thinner metal problem:
"They use thinner gauge metal now almost primarily. Kind of like most things, try to figure out a way to make it cheaper. I'm sure if no competitors were around they could have kept the heavier gauge metal ... I've not inquired whether or not it was even still possible to order a steelbook in the heavier/thicker gauge like we used to see in all the old steels. (tho probably is if studio requests) However the last I saw was the TDK/BB France. Its very noticeable when comparing Embossed/Debossed steels of Old vs. New.".

Can I ask why it bothers you so much seem to be going round in circles.

Some people do not understand what I mean, so I explained it with the quote from Wreck.

Yes, thin metal bothers me, because it feels cheap.
For example, compare Django Unchained and Taxi Driver.
