Warner Bros "snapper case"?

[Baseley09]

Is snapper case the official term for the original Warner DVD boxes?

I'm probably in a minority that really like those, I never used to, I guess the standard amaray case is so widespread and bland, I'm starting to pick up these older case styles when i see them, adds a little novelty to the otherwise dull dvd format.

Anyway, is that what they are actually called?

Am I the only one that thought this thread was gonna be about some sex charges involving a Red Snapper being brought against WB?

[abigsmurf]

Not sure what case this is.

Are these the ones with a card front that are held shut by a flimsy plastic catch that folds over and snaps it shut? That's a popular DVD case in the US and I dislike them (card = looks shoddy after a while).

The best DVD cases by far are the steelbook ones.

For the longest time I never realised that the plastic clip opened up and I used to slide the cardboard cover out.

I like the clear sort of heavy duty plastic ones cases, like the one my Big Lebowski DVD is in

Yeah those are the ones!

@ChrisField, I had the same problem I had no idea the plastic bit on the right opened aha.

@spagmasterswift, that would've been a better thread.

How many movies were actually released in them?

I know my copy of Training Day is in one but I don't have any others.

As far as i'm aware all the early WB DVD releases came in these crappy cases. I've probably still got a dozen of the critters.

Three Kings is also one, the first DVD i ever bought if i remember rightly

[funkydan]

Oh, I just remembered that my DVD of The Matrix is in one of those

[Mayhem]

Yeah, our copies of Matrix and Training Day are defo in the snap cases. I'm sure there's a few more we've got at home like that but can't think what offhand.

Austin Powers is another... My first DVD and still have it

[Baseley09]

I've got Soldier, 2010 & Purple Rain snappers, what a legend line up.

[Kubrick]

Got loads of these. Pretty much any WB disc back in the day had them - Enter the Dragon, Unforgiven, LA Confidential, Blade Runner DC, Exorcist, JFK, Deliverance, Dirty Harry, Contact etc etc...

I used to dislike them because of the size difference but not so much now. They're still pretty lame though. 2 disc films just have the 2nd disc in a paper sleeve.

First DVD i bought was replacement killers. Its in one of those stupid clear plastic cases

So glad common sense prevailed, and the clear cases and cardboard got killed off.
