Sorry, should that be an answer to my last post? I don't get it.

Kathy
At least three things are wrong with your post. Sorry. For the first I don't agree that this is a slip cover. For the second it's a Blu-ray not a DVD. Third; It's not a keep case. It's a digibook.

I was already typing all that when you posted your last post.... it was all posted to answer your comment about posting the slipcover alone without the inner case.

Fair enough. But I used that just as an option. (Not my preferred option). Because, as Katy quoted, there is a rule about keep cases (not digibooks), that says "scan the Cover Images from the outer slipcase" It does not say: use a combination.

The rules don't specifically state for every type of case.... it is crazy to think they could cover every circumstance... covering everything that is already out and that will ever come out in the future... it is just impossible.

Agree. But it would have been much easier if the slip cover scanning rule(s) was removed all together.

All we can do is go with what the rules says and contribute to the best of our ability following those rules. And if you get an unsatisfactory situation either live with it for the online (locking how you want it locally) or ask Invelos for an exception to the rules or an amendment to the rules. What can't be done is do it how we feel is better without the OK from Ken or Gerri (Invelos).

So what you are saying is; there is no rule covering this situation?

Simply put...
The combination of the two is what gives the complete cover. No different then any other slip cover where you scan it with the case inside to get the UPC number through the window.

No where does the rules say to remove the inner cover to scan just the slip cover.

Could be a Slip Case.

Maybe for keep cases but not for books. I would like to see how many have their digibooks in their shelves with this piece of garbage still on. The front cover of a book is on the book itself not on a piece of cardboard that the distributor put on it.

I realize you don't feel this is a slip cover. But you asked what others thought. The majority of which don't agree with you.

Yes, I asked. But majority, well.  I would not say that.

When I said the majority.. I of course meant the majority of those that replied in this thread. That is after all the only thing I could possibly know... I have no idea what people outside this thread feels... just like you don't.

And with that... I can see you will feel what you feel. There is no need for me to continue on... so I am done with this thread. I will just continue to vote and contribute on how I read the rules and how I see the item I am profiling.

I think of this particular type of slip cover as a "J card".  It covers the whole back of the case, then folds over the top or the bottom and covers a part of the front of the case (a bit like the letter "J").  Sometimes the sides are partially covered, as well.

In most of the cases I've seen, the back of the J card contains the UPC, Overview, credit block, basic information about the release (AR, Audio Tracks, Subtitles, etc), i.e. all the usual stuff that a back cover has, and the actual case has none of that information, typically just a picture or a photo related to the feature.

That's why the back cover scan needs to be of the J card and as that same J card extends to the front, I see that it should be included in the front cover scan as well.  Whether it covers a tenth, a fifth, a fourth or whatever part of the front cover. "The covers must match the profile exactly, including the UPC and locality".

I'm not interested in "nicer pictures", as I like to see an accurate representation of the package after it has been unwrapped (let's keep shrinkwraps out of this discussion, please ).
