The end of snapcases?
http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?...3431&n=1&burl=
Over at DVDAnswers they posted the revised art for Torque. The previous pics were in a snapcase and now, with the revised art, it's in a keepcase. Is this a sign of things to come? I sure hope they've come to their senses.
Heh, I remember posting this back in 2002 regarding New Line getting rid of snapcases.

Matchstick Men technically was released in a keep case. The DVD/Soundtrack version was packaged in a keep case.
Not to say they're planning anything like that with Torque, but who knows?

Yeah, there were several threads declaring the snapper officially dead when Warner released Terminator 3 in a keepcase. Yet the snapper flood continues.

Snappers and card board packaging sucks, don't know why they keep on using them.

They seem determined to ignore the fact that they (a) have to make alternate packaging for major rental outlets; (b) have to come up with wacky, inconsistent, alternate packaging for any title with more than 1 disc; and (c) suck.

That used to be true, but last year Warner sold it's DVD Production Arm to a Canadian outfit, so the thinking is that ultimately even Warner will cease using snappers. We can only hope.

All the people I talk to in the Warner DVD group claim that they use snappers for environmental reasons - because they are significantly more biodegradable.
Take it with a grain of salt.
I wouldn't mind them nearly as much if they were the same size as keepcases and didn't jut out a half inch or so.

Keep cases are just used for the two-disc releases.
What I found strange was, they showed pics of Torque in a snapcase... and now in the revised coverart, it's in a keepcase. So, who knows.
It's likely to never end...
"All the people I talk to in the Warner DVD group claim that they use snappers for environmental reasons - because they are significantly more biodegradable."
But New Line, a branch of Time Warner, uses keepcases now. And what about all those damn AOL discs we get in the mail in the thick plastic cases?

Warner moved from snapper to keep case in the UK after pressures from the shops distributing their products. They now use "secured Amaray", a keep case that can be locked.
