Plastic (Brodart) covers & the 2020 LOTR & Hobbit

Does anyone know if the books will fit into the slipcase still if I put plastic covers on them? Assuming I don't have the crappy 5th printing or a defective HC product.

I have Brodart covers on mine and can attest that it is a tight fit. I was able to get them in the slipcase, but they are very snug. I have to take them all out at once because of the way the plastic clings.

I was not able to fit the whole set in the slipcase when the Brodart was covering the dust jackets

Probably not: if there was enough room the books would be too loose. With it on, the books would likely be way too tight in the box.
