| | Posted: | | | | So would I. If there's no physical connection between the holding mechanism of the actual DVD and the metal casing, I wouldn't subsummarize that type of case under "Metalcase" either. | | | | Lutz |

@Voltaire:
It shouldn't be too hard to tell those two apart: with the metalcases or Steelbooks, the DVD holding mechanism is directly connected to the metal casing.
The EzyDVD Tin-Boxes, as far as I understand it (I don't own any), contain a regular keep case with a metal box around it, so there's no direct connection between the DVD and the metal. Absolutely right... I am just suggesting this is made clear in the Rules so there is no arguing when it comes to voting! | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

I voted for "Different". The "Steelbook" case type should be changed to "Metal case", IMO. Couldn't agree more! Quoting Martin_Zuidervliet: Quote:
Steel is Metal, but Metal is not Steel. 
I have one Metalpak myself and I have called it Custom because it's distinctively different than SteelBook. Or you could call it Steel Case and be done with it. |

Yep, I agree to that. Agreed to, but what should be done until this change is achieved? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I think this is a slippery slope. What do you do about VIVA cases then? It looks even more like SteelBook than MetalPak cases.
I think Steelbook encompass all three types of cases MetalPak™, VIVA™, and SteelBook™, but are distinct from metal boxes and slipcovers (Band of Brothers or T2 Extreme Edition). | | | | My Home Theater |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree it's custom. Steelbook is not a generic term, it's used for a special type or brand of metal cases. If you want to call it a steelbook, fine, but do it local. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | Well, a contribution to change Custom to Steelbook, for a STARMETALPACK just got approved, think that mans we can change all TIns and Metalpacks to Steelbooks now.
cheers
