We have a fair size collection of DVDs, but until just recently, I had no idea of the hoop-la that surrounded those DVDs sold in the cardboard “snap case” packaging. These are the DVD cases that have the plastic disc holder and cardboard front cover.
Some CD's or DVD's have personal or confidential information on them. Destruction of the discs is necessary for security reasons. If you have CD's or DVD's to destroy, then this article will help you. . Single cases are easily converted to a Dual case with the handy snap-in tray insert. CD tray is white and the DVD trays are available in black or clear. Check out the new Blu-Ray Security Case - also available with matching tray - in blue.
From what I’ve discovered, they were despised by many DVD collectors when they were on the market. But now, however, because they stopped producing them in 2005 (or so), they’ve become quite collectible and sought after by video/movie buffs.
We have about thirty movies in our collection with the snap cases and, to be honest with you, I’ve always liked that style of DVD case. But, I really never paid much attention to the fact that they stopped producing them, for fourteen years now.
You’ll find that most snap case DVDs are from Time Warner and some of their subsidiaries. This is because WB owned the patent rights to the box design, as well as the manufacturer; that being Ivy Hill Packaging. But, in 2003, they sold the manufacturing company off and production of the snap case was phased out, due to lack of interest.
I liked them, and I guess that’s because of my history with collecting LPs and LaserDiscs. I guess I just liked the high colour, matte finish of the artwork, which closely resembles the covers of LPs and LDs. I also like the fact that the cardboard cover allows for the printing of extra artwork on the inside of the cover. And some discs, like the Matrix here, had a fold-out cover; much like the gate-fold covers that you sometimes got with LPs and LaserDiscs.
From what I’ve heard from other DVD collectors is that, the reason why they didn’t like the snap cases was because they didn’t provide as much protection as the standard “keeper cases” (those being the hard plastic cases). I never had a problem with that, as I always try to handle my DVDs with care and store them properly.
But I tell ya, like I’ve recently commented about how cheaply they make those keeper cases today, the cardboard snap cases are much better at protecting the DVDs inside than what they make today. And the matte finish of the covers have kept their colours and luster well over the years. They still look great!
So what, now that streaming services are starting to dump content, “collectors” are now scrambling to find the physical media they used to own, even though they originally didn’t care for it? As the years go on, I think people are starting to realize the many flaws of today’s “modern” technologies and that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
qualifications
Qualifying for Regular SNAP
To get benefits through regular SNAP, households must meet certain tests, including resource and income tests.
Resources: Individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or households including anyone who receives Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP), Kinship Care Subsidy Program (KCSP), or Strategies to Empower People (STEP) Program benefits are exempt from the resource limit. Households not exempt from the resource limit may have up to $2250 in resources, such as a bank account, cash, certificate of deposit (CDs), stocks, and bonds. Non-exempt households that include at least one household member who is age 60 or older or includes a disabled member may have up to $3500 in resources.
Households are not exempt from the resource limit if:
- Any member is disqualified for Intentional Program Violation, or
- The household is disqualified for failing to comply with work registration requirements.
The following individuals are not exempt from the resource limit:
- An ineligible alien,
- An ineligible student,
- An individual who is disqualified for failure to comply with work registration requirements,
- An individual who is disqualified for failure to provide or apply for a social security number, and
- An individual who is on strike.
Income: Households must meet income tests (unless any member is receiving FITAP, KCSP, STEP benefits, or all members are receiving SSI).
Most households must meet both the gross and net income tests, but a household with a person who is 60 years old or older or a person who is receiving certain types of disability payments only has to meet the net income test.
Gross income means a household's total, non-excluded income, before any deductions have been made. Net income means gross income minus allowable deductions. Households, except those noted, that have income over the amounts listed below cannot get SNAP benefits.
Allotment Amounts: The amount of SNAP a household receives depends on the number of people in the SNAP household and the amount of their net income. The table below shows the maximum SNAP allotments by household size.
