I'd tell you more about it but I honestly don't know.. so, I'm relying on the help of others to see if anyone has any insight.
Please note the scan artifacts, light reflection in the upper right corner, and the little tabs that make it LOOK like its from the inside liner of a CD case. I do not know if that's the case - that's why I'm asking others for any additional info they have.

Like I was telling dark, I've seen this before but not sure where. Was either at ROV or cd.com back in 2007. Hopefully someone else here remembers it.
So we're certain it was something fan made? No worries if that's the case - like I said, I just wanted to get some insight as to its origins. Does anyone remember if, at the time, the image also had those same artifacts and plastic tabs at the bottom / top of it which imply placement in a CD case before being scanned?
Thanks!

Nice detective work. I knew I had seen that somewhere.
No problem guys, I just remember seeing that thing and realising I was one of the very few who thought it was pretty cool and different to any other 'album art' I'd seen to date. It's funny you mention the tab things now - and I only just now notice them.
I quite like this and I agree it looks considerably more 'real' than anything else that we've seen. The fact that it popped up on my Ipod when I chucked Shacklers on made me wonder too although I guess anyone could have put that on....
GUNS N' ROSES: 'Shackler's Revenge' Artwork Revealed? - Aug. 20, 2008
According to writer Erin Fox, Microsoft has released an image to support GUNS N' ROSES' contribution to the upcoming Rock Band 2 video game, which will make its debut on Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system this September.
After 14 years since GUNS N' ROSES' last official music release, Axl Rose selected Rock Band 2 to debut official new track "Shackler's Revenge" from the highly anticipated album "Chinese Democracy".
The image in question, which can be seen below, may or may not be a preview of the artwork for the "Chinese Democracy" CD, which could see its long-awaited release before the end of the year.
Sources have told Billboard.com that "Chinese Democracy" may be released through an exclusive deal with a "big box" retail chain like Wal-Mart or Best Buy. Another source said that negotiations are underway for just such a release, with talks going on with conventional record companies for distribution as well. GUNS N' ROSES is managed by Front Line Management, whose head, Irving Azoff, successfully engineered the release of the latest EAGLES album, "Long Road Out of Eden", through Wal-Mart. Another long-awaited new album, AC/DC's "Black Ice", is coming out this fall exclusively through Wal-Mart.
There is still no official release date for "Chinese Democracy", which has been 14 years in the making. Representatives for GUNS N' ROSES, its label, Best Buy and Wal-Mart had no comment.
"Shackler's Revenge" is said to have leaked online last week. Nine other tunes from "Chinese Democracy", all allegedly finished recordings, were leaked online last June.
