A new DVD case that lets consumers finally preview a DVD before they pay for it was released today by SeeView Promotions, a Los Angeles-based media promotions company.

“It’s about time,” said Rick Andrade, SeeView’s DVD preview case creator and company president. “Current DVD cases just don’t have enough information to help consumers make the best choice. Now they have the chance to preview a movie on 12 3-D slides built right into the bottom of every SeeView DVD case.”
