Animatrix case is crap. What can we do?
 
I have never seen a cheaper case on any store-bought dvd. Ever. This is just a cardboard snap case, but it doesn't even have a snapping mechanism on it. The cardboard cover just kind of lays open, and the black plastic does the same thing. This thing is such a piece of crap.

I bought this at Electronics Boutique, preorder. Is anyone else carrying this in a different type of case? If not, is there anything else I can do to get this dvd into a better case?

DVDcoverart.com has about 6 different customs/scans to pick from.

Go steal a regular amaray cover from Hollywood Video. Whoops, did I say that?

Update: Being a newbie to the case/cover art switcheroo, I d/l'd a replacement cover from dvdcoverart.com and took it to Costco to have a nice prinoout made. It was beautiful, and too big for our keep case. :(

The slightly good news is that we just didn't push our case closed hard enough and it does actually latch. I don't like the snap case, but it'll do until I can get a prinout that fits the blank keep case we have.

That's odd. They are sized to fit keepcases....The file should have been 3240 x 2175 pixels @ 300dpi.

That's what I thought too. The file properties list it at 3240 x 2175 and I specifically told the lady at Costco that I wanted the image to be printed at it's own regular size (no enlargements or anything), but it's about an 1 1/2 inches to big vertically and horizontally.

I think she botched the printing myself....Which cover did you print and I'll check it out.

This is the page of the image I d/l'd and had printed.
