I thankfully only have a few taped ones, but a whole bunch of the more common glued variety (and of course a bunch of the corner-cut ones too because why not).
That strip is industrialy sticked on that release. Usually, these strips are only covering a 10 mm part of the border of the case, that's why they are sticked, since there is no more surface which can be used to pinch them under the flipping mecanisme.

I guess if 2nd hand shops wants to make the OBI stay on when displayed they better would add a plastic wrap, it's more convenient than spending time to glue it (if you observe it closely, the tape is perfectly glued, it's not a hand job).

There are also OBIs which have the same size but aren't sticked, those have an extra strip separated by small cutted-lines which pinches under the flipping mecanisme, like this one :
