After conducting research into digipaks - such as the above one of an Oasis acoustic collection I have found that they are a modern form of cd cases in the respect that they do not have have the traditional jewel case packaging and that they are made from card or heavy paper which is easily formed into a book-like case.
This has many advantages as it saves time, effort and money - in addition to being easily mainpulated into differing shapes.
This style has become more popular for artists distribution, the generic term digi-pack is a common term used to describe any soft CD packaging.
Using the digipak format however does have its cons; they can be prone to damage as they are only made out of a thin card - this also affects the safety of the cd it is protecting.
There are varying types of digipak; four, six or eight panels - I have been instructed to produce a six panel digipak for my album.
