Mad Men: special v. regular packaging?

I picked up both a limited edition lighter version of packaging and then a standard packaging because i'm not sure which i want to keep and which i want to return. i saw these pics online of the special packaging, and it looks like there might be potential for discs to get damaged.





anyone have pics of the standard packaging and what it looks like when its unfolded? or anyone with the special packaging have an experience with scratched discs?

the special is a bit of a hassle, but it is neat, nothing more. the foam they use doesn't seem the softest, but none of my discs seemed to be tattered too bad. even if they were so be it, it happens.

i am sure the regular digi is the same as every other on the market. less potential for heartache.

Thats a cool looking case. I would buy the special packaging just because it looks like a zippo.

The B&N online page did say special packaging. I'll post back when I get it. Either way, I'll keep it, as the return shipping cost from Canada, would not be feasible.

Cheers
