Editing Sega Saturn (section)

===North America===
In North America, the existing single hinged case design used for [[Sega CD]] games was adopted for Sega Saturn titles. The cases incorporate a white spine containing a 30 degree stripe pattern in gray, with white outlined lettering displaying the words "Sega Saturn". The cover often carried a back insert with information about the game. The manuals included with Saturn games were substantially larger than standard CD's, and as a result had more room for art.

Unfortunately, these cases had several problems:
*Their sheer size made them difficult to store and vulnerable to cracking.
*The mechanism that keeps the cover closed wears out quickly if the cover is opened and closed too much.
*There is enough empty space inside the case that, if the CD comes loose of the case's spindle, it can easily suffer scratching or be shattered during case transportation. Some games, especially ones early in the system's life, came with a foam brick to keep the disc from falling off the spindle. This brick was left out later on to save costs, but an improved spindle design was implemented, which held the discs more securely.
*Because these cases were proprietary for the most part, replacements were difficult to find.

Games packaged with the system (such as ''Virtua Fighter'') or a peripheral (such as ''NiGHTS Into Dreams...'') often came in a standard CD Jewel case.
