*-* OBI STRIP part 2 "keeping the OBI safely" *-*
For collectors, "how to keep OBI safely" is very important.
OBI is attached outside the jewel case when it's selling as NEW/SEALED, and after 1992 or 1993, OBI-STRIPS of most of all titles are free from the jewel cases. So, it's needed to keep OBI somewhere to keep holding it as a collection.
Most popular place to put the OBI-STRIP may be at the front lid of the jewel case.

it's important to put it
beneath the TAB of the jewel case
Putting OBI on the lid of the jewel case is easy, and it's safe if the OBI is put very carefully.
But, it often cause some problems and the problems cause flaws on OBI, like this.

This causes a TAB MARK when the lid is closed.
OBI, put over the right edge of the front-lid will...
be caught between the LID and the TRAY, and
one edge of the OBI-STRIP will be BENT or FOLDED.
Putting OBI under the tray of the jewel case

There are some different types of OBI-STRIP.
Sometimes it changes by the releasing era, and sometimes the difference is because of LIMITED EDITION and/or SPECIAL SHAPE.
When the shape of OBI-STRIPS are different, the keeping method will also changes.
There are 3, typical "EARLY" types of OBI-STRIP.
BIG OBI, covering all REAR-COVER portion
OBI-STICKER, pasted directly on the jewel case
TALL OBI, just as tall as the jewel case
