Is there any way to know which blu-rays come with a slip-cover?

I do a lot of trading online, and recently got interested in blu-rays. I've done some trades for some BDs, and was disappointed to one day walk into Best Buy and see the same titles except they came with slip-covers. I want to avoid this in the future, so is there any way to know which blu-rays come with a slip-cover?

I also found these two links, but felt they aren't complete enough.

Aside from walking into a store and looking, I think the only option is the links you provided

Ive never seen Slipcovers included in product descriptions online.

Sometimes you can tell by looking reviews or checking the scanned back images at dvdempire.com or axelmusic.com.

The Blu-ray forum one is a pretty accurate list of what titles have slipcovers. Give it time it will be updated with more recent titles.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the links, glad to know they also scanned the slip-covers. And I'll definitely keep checking the blu-ray thread for any updates. If anyone else could give any info, that'll be great. I'm recently doing a trade for Batman Gotham Knight on BD, so if anyone knows first hand if that comes with one, please let me know, thanks.

Batman Gotham Knight does not come with one

For awhile, people were taking the slip cover from the 2 disc one at best buy and selling them on e bay with the blu ray version calling them limited edition.

I think most studios find them extra wasted money. Not many people care any more what the chapters are. Plus, with the translucent cases, they can put that info on the back of the cover now!

Thanks for confirming that. Wow, I can't believe how far people would go just to make a few extra dollars. They even to go as far as to take(steal) a DVD slip-cover from the store and putting it on the BD version claiming it to be a LE . That's just wrong.
