Yes, that is a Digipak, but I think the issue is that this site has tried to redefine case types that have already been defined by the industry.

Since you like definitions, here is what Wikipedia says:

Quote:
A digipak (trademarked term) or digipack (generic term) consists of a rectangular cardboard package with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a disc attached to the inside.

This case is most certainly not cardboard.

It's wikipedia and anyone can edit a wiki page, but that doesn't mean it's all inclusive. What you have is a 4-panel 2-disc Digipak. The outer package looks to be made out of chipboard?

Digipaks can have an outer cover made out of paperboard, chipboard, etc.

Anyway, here are a few YT vids that talk about Digipaks:

This is my idea of a Digipak:

IMO the Legacy Collection boxes are something else. But the fact that all the Legacy boxes are listed as Clamshell is a clear indication that some others here agree that they are not Digipaks. So I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Yes, that is a type of Digipak (4-panel, 1-disc). Digipaks can come in may shapes and sizes.

This would also be a type of Digipak, but it wouldn't surprise me if some consider it as Other.

My intent is not to come of as argumentative and it's clear some others have a different opinion. Just trying to provide information on what the industry has considered Digipaks to be.

I would agree it would be helpful it the different packaging types were defined in the rules. But fair enough.

It's good that we're all equally confused. I'm also taking it as a positive that we're all pretty much in agreement as to what constitutes a digipack/digipak.
