Last time you flipped the box art?

I'll only do this if the reverse has all the logos on the spine and everything and is just an alternate cover art.
Last (and maybe only...) one I remember is Bloodborne.
Quick pic off google, left is alternate, right is default:

The only one I have ever reversed. Not the traditional but an American style cover for the European continent ? Hell no !
Fist of the North Star, or when I realized Nier had one.
Forgot about this one too, I agree.
I really like the idea, and most revertable covers are super cool in design. Because it's so inconsistent I never do it. Most covers don't feature all the details that are on the outside of the box and I like to have everything "the same", except for Special or Limited Editions, if that makes any sense? Even if covers feature all the same details on the inside I wont do it. afraid to damage the cover or bend it wrong and make it more fragile. I really like to keep my collection as clean as possible. Still, having art on the inside of the box is also really cool.
I just can't bring myself to do it. Even if the cover is gorgeous, a box art without the ratings and/or console branding looks wrong somehow.
...I think I have a problem.

Does the GotY edition have a reverse cover as well?Neir Automata
From left (standard) to right (best). Kassandra should have been the default cover in my opinion, but I guess that is a different discussion.
This for me. I was super stoked to have the Yoshida art be my cover for Nier Automata, but was super disappointed to find it didn't have the PS4 spine. Same for Uncharted 4's reversible cover.
Bloodborne though has a reversible cover with the spine and made that my default cover because I liked it more than the original cover.
Dragon Quest XI The standard boxart is really really bad, the flipside is the Japanese handdrawn cover only with bigger white borders which is a shame as it makes it look cheaper than it should.
I normally don't do it though, mostly because the spines are often blank or are missing logo's which leads to inconsistent looking shelves.

Dragon Quest XI.
FFXII The Zodiac Age for Switch will probably be the next, but it isn't getting here until next month.

The reversible art for DQXI.
These.
Is this official or fan made? I assume it's from the collector's edition if official since it doesn't have all the copyrights and warnings. Either way, it's pretty cool!
10 years ago when I bought my last physical copy.
Digital libraries should allow for alternates.
