Would this be considered a Slip Case?  It's a narrow band of paper that came wrapped around two Keep Cases.

Slipcase according to Ken Cole's statement

Personally I would think "Keep Case, Slipcover" is exactly as valid, but The Man has spoken.

Looks to be a Slip Case, according to this post.

It might be helpful to post an image of the item pictured with its contents. Here's a promo picture from another season. The thing Scott posted is the little middle cardboard band that wraps around 2 keepcases.

Have these things been ruled slipcases?

Okay, I see the difference. If you want a profile for the set, then yes I would still say it is a slip case as it is the same thing just with less material.

I'd call it a piece of junk. If it was me, I'd throw it away and add the two inside UPCs to my database.

But it does have its own valid UPC and can be a new parent profile.

It's not really a slip case, but I suppose that's the closest thing in the system and it works for profiling. I guess another question is what the cover image would be? Just that cardboard thing or the cardboard thing with the keepcases in it?

If I were adding it to the database I believe I'd retain the look of the intact package.

Ah, so it's more of a cummerbund than a case ... hm

Well that leaves the question: do those two keep cases have their own UPCs? Or do they sport the same UPCs as the cardboard? One could go for "Custom" but for simplicity's sake I would stick with slip-case even if it is a rather small one.

They each have their own UPC, but the keepcases are placed back-to-back so those UPCs aren't visible until they're removed from their container.

This!


I would think slip case, slip cover, scans for parent would be the slp case

Now since scotthm said the keep cases within have their own UPC, Each child profile is a UPC based profile with the image being that of the keep case in question with the case type of keep case
