How do the Criterion replacement cases work?

Like lets say I buy The Last Metro, will the cardboard case fit in the clear case? Or do I need to buy the pre labled cases?

You move the contents of the cardboard case into the clear case. It’s incredibly simple.

Yes, but what about the outside label? Am I forced to buy the full 5 dollars cases for the label?

and by label I mean cover art.

I don’t understand the replacement cases… are the original cardboard cases just terrible quality or something? They do look pretty shitty, but I’ve never owned one.

The replacement case comes with the cover art.

I’m talking about the clear cases you buy in bulk.

Drunken: They are a little flimsy. My Chungking Express actually got damaged in the mail. unfortuantely i can’t get a replacement case because Criterion don’t ship them to Australia.

I’m unsure how to make this any simpler. Buy the replacement case you want en masse and everything you want will be there so as long as you have something to put in the cases.

That being said, if you buy multiple cases of The Last Metro you get multiple cases with The Last Metro cover art. You can also buy clear cases if you don’t want any cover art.

The old case does not fit into the new ones.
