Editing Sega Saturn (section)

===Europe===
The European Saturn cases were custom designed and came in two styles: the first was similar to a DVD snap case, being a two-piece clamshell enclosure held together by a single large piece of card that made up both the front and back covers along with spine. The second style was a single-piece plastic case, with a paper insert detailing covers and spine underneath a flexible plastic outer window; the case was similar to a commercial VHS video case, although quite a bit smaller. When the case is opened, the disk rests inside the case to the right of the hinge, while the booklet was placed to the left. Standard art design includes a solid black spine and white lettering displaying the words "Sega Saturn".

These cases had several problems:
*The cardboard hinges wore out very quickly.
*The spindles which held the discs in place wore out very quickly, causing discs to move around in the cases in transit and get scratched.
*There was nothing holding the manual in place. With these manuals often being heavy due to having with several languages, it was difficult to close the case without the manual falling out of place.
*The mechanism for closing the cases wore out very quickly and was quite ineffective to begin with.

The cases were redesigned in later years, being made out of plastic with a sleeve insert, much like a DVD keep case. These cases were fairly hard to open, but they were more sturdy and less prone to breaking. Later games were released only in these cases.
