You get used to the shorter cover...

I bought my first blu-ray today!
I'd really like the blue banner on the back cover too (without the blu-ray logo).
As it is now the cover is too short, it doesn't seem right.

I support your idea. I never could stand the difference. So I'm obliged to add manually a blue banner, (without logo) on back covers.

That is called a personal preference and you are free to do so, inclusion of the plain (no data)  blue banner also decreases the size of the relevant image and the data contained therein, also decreasing the readability of said data. I'll take the data over aesthetics in this instance.

... but I personally don't see the necessity to do so.

Three reasons:
- have the same size for front and back covers
- fill a part of the blank due to the fact that the size of the window have the DVD image ratio
- when browsing your collection, have a better immediate "it's a blu-ray" indication

+1 from me.

I personally would like to see the ability to switch the banners on or off for each profile regardless of case type.

That would be the best option IMHO.

I honestly never realized that there wasn't a banner on the back.  And I probably never would have noticed had I not read this thread.  Even after verifying that there isn't a banner (I wanted to be sure I understood the issue), I thought it looked just fine.

So I guess that puts me in the group that doesn't really care.  I'm fine without it.  And since I failed to notice it's absence, I doubt that I'd notice its inclusion.  So I see no reason for it not to be there.  Especially since others seem to see the need.
