What do they mean when it says "snap case" in the title or description?  What is the difference in the case

A snap case means that the actual artwork is the case and there is a black strip that snaps it closed.  Like this:

snapper case thumbnail.aspx?q=410555056233&id=45befe9fee1d0c65f76eaacec021a454                                    vs.                       regular dvd case        thumbnail.aspx?q=400923099362&id=6eb6ec6a2b3b3362b4ec9858d602cbf8

 

A regular DVD case the artwork can be removed from the protective plastic.  Whereas a snapper artwork cannot.  There is nothing protecting the artwork on a snapper.  Some movies come originally in these cases and are of course postable in the system.  Some people don't like them.  Personally I prefer the artwork behind the protective plastic, but I'm not real picky about it.  Does that make sense?

Thank you,  that clears it up.  Yes, it makes sense,  I kinda prefer the artwork behind the protective plastic too but If I really want a movie I'll take it

That's my thought too.  I won't buy one new, but I'll take it from swap if I want the movie.  Good luck!

some movies only come in snap cases, so sometimes if you want a movie you dont have a choice
