Just got my copy in on Wednesday from Zavvi
This has to be the thinnest, flimsiest metal I have ever seen on a steelbook. How it didn't get dented or dinged in that cardboard mailer is beyond me...
Anyone else notice the same?

I guess you must have a reject then. I just weighed all mine and they are actually heavier than most other 2 disc sets. Mine feels like any other steelbook released over the last few years.

Maybe... but it is hard to tell when it is still sealed. I didn't think anything of it until I opened it. It is possible that on my copy the plastic and metal aren't connected right... but I can say for sure the metal is thin. It flops a bit whenever I touch it.

Anyone else open one up? What do you think?

I've had that before where the metal doesn't sit on the plastic insert and it presses in and out. This is on flat non embossed steels too, I think it's just that the metal used is thinner than it used to be.
 
The metal on all steelbooks are thin.

Maybe the plastic inside is flimsier.

Possibly, but the plastic looks to be the usual quality, or a bit better

Metal is not just thin it is wafer thin. It the plastic that makes up for the flimsiness. [emoji27]

I think that is it... the metal is just not laying on the plastic correctly. You can't possibly hold it without the metal bouncing in and out. I have many steelbooks, and a lot of them are somewhat flimsy... but this one is in a new league. Although I think I probably got a flawed one (that's not exactly something new), I would like to hear back from others who have one opened....
