Hello Camshaft,

I have come to think that any hard plastic case into which an inlay and disc are placed (double Fatbox or single CD) are regarded as jewel cases, but any CD housed in non-standard packaging jewel cases (as I've offered the definition): cardboard with plastic tray insert, card sleeve, or mini-album replica card sleeve is generally regarded as being a "digipack" (DigipaCk... the "C" being important here as defining a general form)...

That is, a pack or packet of digital media (CD), but that a DIGIPAK (No "C") is a copyrighted name for a specific product type made by a particular company (Like Hoover and the vacuum cleaner).

These Digipaks are the two or more panel card sleeves with a plastic tray glued into them to house the CD, so Digipaks are digipacks, but not all digipacks are digipaks... unless they are digipak. :eek:
