What is a DVD slipcover ?
I know it may seem like a basic question but a friend and myself are having a disagreement. Is the slipcover the paper that goes between the plastic covering the case and the case itself or is it the usually cardboard but also sometimes hard plastic that slides over the entire DVD.
If its the second option then what is the paper called that goes between the hard plastic case and the outside protective plastic ?
TIA

I always refuse to buy a movie that I want if it doesn't have a slip cover because I know that is the way the company made it and wanted people to have it so if I have a movie that I bought without a slip cover and then later come to find out it has one then I most likely do not watch that movie again until I can find it in a slip cover. Well unless it's a movie I really love alot then I watch it no matter what..LOL!

So for the record
The cardboard or sometimes hard plastic on the outside that slips over then entire DVD is a
"Slip Cover" ?
The paper that goes between the outside of the DVD case and the plastic sheeting on the outside of the case is the
"Cover" ?
The chapter notes or other materials that come with the DVD on the inside opposite the disc(s) is called the
"Insert or Inserts" ?
So if you had a complete DVD and were telling your homies you would say I picked up Lion King at the pawn shop and it came with the
Insert, cover, and slip cover
I am the man
????????????????
TIA

Trust me, this thread is just child's play compared to that masterpiece.
