Would thins inside an open-at-one-end box be considered ThinPak and slip cover checked?  Or would it be custom?  Thanks.

Indeed. Except when there's more than one THINpak - in which case the parent gets "Slip Case" and the children "THINpak".

Sorry, I disagree; if that were the case (no pun intended) 3 Keep Cases in an open ended box case would be Keep Case with Slip cover and that is actually explicitly a Slip Case, ie. the old Box Set entry. Only if it is a single Keep Case (or THINpak though I have never actually seen a single THIN on sale) in a slip then it's a 'X case' with slip cover.

AIUI whether the cases in a box case are any width of Keep Case (ie including THINpaks) the profile is a Slip Case (and if you want to do/must do (depending on whether it is a TV series or a 'box set' of films) child profiles for the discs THEY are in THINpaks).
I also believe a quick check of many, many profiles will back up that this is the accepted description.

I strongly disagree that the same packaging should be described as Slip Case if it's a set of films and THINpak with Slip cover if it's a TV series; if it's the same packaging it should be the same case description.
Let's remember that the reason Box Set case type was changed to Slip Case was to avoid confusion because a DVDP box set could have a non-Box Set case type and a Box Set case type did NOT mean that the profile had to be a box set. By saying multiple THINs in a box has to be a box set before you give it a Box Set case type is going back to the confusion that was supposedly sorted by the change of name to Slip Case.

The In Plain Sight Season 1 set out 2 days ago was 3 thinpaks housed in a box that's open at 1 end (vertically as it sits on the shelf).

Thanks everyone.

You guys do not understand the difference between a slip cover and slip case YET, Especiallly you Tim Giood lord.  What husker descrobed from a Parent viewpoint is a SLIP CASE, from a Child viewpoint they are merely THINPAKs PERIOD.

God grief.

great call Pete

Other than the "Indeed", both of T!M's posts are 100% accurate. 

I think people replied the best they could with the info they had... as from the first post I thought that is what the OP was talking about... but wasn't 100% sure till it was clarified.
