NOTICE [April 3rd, 2018]:
Changing the title and idea behind this thread to General Slipcover Discussion (formerly Favorite Slipcover You Have & Rare Slip Discussion). Please, feel free to still share your favorite slipcovers, but rather than start a brand-new thread, I'm just going amalgamate the idea with this existing thread.

Thanks!

wow man, that A Christmas Carol 3d version slip is bad ass. Saw it today at wally world, its lenticular. I got the 2 disc version which just has a regular slightly embossed slip. Nice, but nowhere near as bad ass as the xmas carol 3disc/4disc? version.

I got that 3D version and the lenticular slip is pretty damn cool!

I'm familiar with what steelbooks are considered 'rare' but how does somebody know if a slip is rare? I prefer buying my movies with the slipcovers if available cuz they add to the overall 'package' but I have no idea how rare any of them are.

That does look very nice Dom.

I dont own these, but I always liked the look of Predators & Terminator Salvation. Kinda simplistic but very bold.
