Multiway Jewel Two Disk Case

Releases (40)

The Multiway Jewel Two Disk case uses the same shell as the one-disk variant, with both internal tray positions occupied — one disc per leaf. It was used across a wide range of early PS1 releases until the Full Jewel case started to be used for 2 disk releases when G-Police was released in October 1997.

Physical Characteristics

Dimensions

Same footprint as a standard jewel case — approximately 142mm × 125mm Depth/spine width increases to slightly larger than two standard CD jewel cases. A standard single jewel case is around 10mm deep; these cases are roughly 25mm.

Construction

Clear polycarbonate plastic (same material as a standard jewel case) Front and back covers are hinged in the same way as a standard case The internal tray mechanism is replaced or stacked to accommodate additional discs — each disc typically sits in a separate moulded tray or hub, layered within the case

Internal Layout

Individual disc hubs (centre spindles) are moulded into stacked trays Discs may be accessed by lifting/folding each tray, similar to a book, or by a back-to-back arrangement depending on the manufacturer Booklet slot runs along the inside front cover or within the rear cover - allowing for two manuals to be stored within the case. Back inlay sits in the rear cover as normal

Spine

Wider than a standard case, so the spine label is correspondingly taller Still carries game title and disc count information

Interior Design

The interior reveals two tray sections separated at the central spine hinge. The front leaf holds the first disc via a standard star-pattern spindle and retaining clips. The back section features the large raised circular disc platform with a prominent central spindle hub. In the two-disk configuration both positions are in use: disc 1 sits in the front leaf tray, disc 2 on the raised back platform.
