Not necessarily.  Things slip by the screeners all the time.  They look at a lot of changes.

Well, I especially stated that in my NO vote 

I guess we need a rule update here.

O good grief, why can't custom or other be perfectly adequate use, I use them here all the time. We have to have EVERYTHING described. I would have voted NO, and i wish Goblins had llistened and used a simple custom case. We do not have to every possible case type described any mother than we need EVERY conceivable language, country or whatever. I just ran into a brand new Keep Case style last night, should we now insist that IT be defined as whatever it is instead of a keeper. A Metalpak is not a Steelbook and that is obvious by comparing the two, they aren't even related.

I'm not sure if it was a mistake or was intended.

My contribution notes made quite clear that this contrib wasn't undisputed
Quoting contribution notes:

Quote:
Corrected Case Type Source: Own DVD
For the "NO"-voters: In analogy to the KeepCase which is a KeepCase no matter if it comes from the trademark holder or not the same must go for the SteelBook.
For further info check this thread.
And explicitly for the one who exclaimed a rule violation: The rules don't even mention a Steelbook as such, neither does the thread that lists the casetypes (which, BTW, is the thread that gets crosslinked in the rules).

Not to forget the "NO"-vote from Donnie, so I hope that this approvement was made with a reason.

@ Skip: I'm not quite sure if I get what you're writing. The case I contributed is quite similar to the trademarked "Steelbook", the only difference that is to be seen without tearing it apart is the different spine, and if you look really closely and have a real Steelbook at hand you'd realize that the corners of this Metalpack are a bit more rounded.

I wouldn't have contributed anything as a Steelbook that wouldn't fit in the description (except for the trademark).

For me the question was: Is a Steelbook only a Steelbook if it comes from the beholder of the trademark, or can it be any (for want of a better word) KeepCase made out of metal, as long as it provides the functionality of a Steelbook?
EDIT: This excludes: Metalboxes that contain DVD-cases; Metal SlipCases, etc... I think nobody wants to name these Steelbook.

The problem I have is that you asked a question, in the form of a poll, then didn't seem to consider the results.

Not quite correct:
1. It wasn't me who started this poll, it was HilbertHimmelwärts.
2. When I made my decision to contribute a Metalpack as a Steelbook the poll result was 34 to 12 in favour of this possibility. I admit that the result has moved a bit and I wouldn't call a 40 to 32 vote a consensus.

Just to make sure we all know what we're talking about I've taken some pictures of the case in question.

My mistake...and one I shouldn't have made.  I mean, the name's right there on the post. 

I also think we shall wait for Ken to decide this, otherwise we would have ping-pong contribution madness. 

cheers
