It looks like a digipack to me to. Gluing some pages in doesn't make it stop being a digipack.

True.

In that case, I would say 'Custom'.

LOL, the plastic piece is not what defines a Digipak by itself. A digipak is a specific style, typically it is a gatefold in appearance, and looks nothing like a bound book, which is what a Digibook looks like. By your definition even clamshell could be a digipak, Ace, it uses a very similar piece of plastic.Have a look at Alien Quad, Ace, that is a classic Digipak, and it is a gatefold layout very typical of the format.

Incredulous with shock.

This happens to use a tray that is very similar to the trays used in a Digipak, but it is glued into the back of a BOOK. You should probably go out and buy one .

I own one or two, maybe that's my problem.


So, a gatefold is a digipak but if in book shape it's a custom...? Sorry, not yet flying with me.

I think it is all in how people look at it. It seems that some people are looking at the package as a whole... so that would be custom to them. While other people are only looking at it as how the actual disc is attached to the case... so all they see it as is a digipak. I personally always look at the entire case as a whole to determine the case type.

But then again I could be completely off here.

So, Achim you do not comprehend the differences between Alien Quad and North by Northwest. And you base that on a plastic tray. Bizarre in the extreme. For now it's a custom case, plain and simple, what is your problem, Remember when we through all this garbage before Ken added Steelbook or any other case, for some strange reason you would prefer to totally mis-identify a cover instead of calling it Custom (Other) and wait patiently for ken to ad Digibook to the list, which he will do, an dthe of course Hollywood will create another Case for you to misidentify.<shakes head>

The keep cases that two-disc DVDs and single-disc DVDs come in are quite different (in fact, there are several very different kids of two-disc cases), but we don't say it's a different type of case just because there's a middle section to put another disc on. If a case is made out of a soft plastic where the hinge works by bending the plastic itself and has a clear layer to insert cover art and has a latch mechanism of some sort, it's a keep case, whether it's a three-disc fatty (Back to the Future), two disc in a standard width (Monsters, Inc) or just the standard case (The Graduate). Similarly a foldy piece of cardboard with plastic trays glued to it is a digipack whether it's a standard version (Alien Quad), puts the trays on edge like a book (Babylon 5), has two discs per tray (later Xena seasons), some of the folds are vertical instead of horizontal (Tripping the Rift), there a puch for a booklet (early printing of Buffy) or some pages glued in the middle (North by Northwest). If this is different, please explain how.
