Italian term or phrase: custodia a dorso stretto
Parlando di imballaggio per articoli multimedia, si cita la "produzione di custodie a dorso stretto". E' una traduzione già fatta, viene tradotto con "narrow spine case" ma trovo pochissimi riscontri. Avete un suggerimento e/o consiglio? Grazie!

slim (multimedia) (jewel) case
Explanation:
the trouble seems ti be with the use of teh word multimeida, not many hits, while the use of slim case with cd and dvd gets many hits. I believe the transparent ones are called jewel cases.
