Awesome! Thanks for the extensive update. So glad to hear the cases will be black too. :D

I agree, I would love Game Gear cases as well. I hadn't really thought about those but I have quite a few and I have quite a few on my wish list as well.

I noticed yesterday that the European multi-lingual Game Gear manual don't fit into DS cases.

So maybe also start making cases for them, at least need couple hundred of them.

I'll measure the manual when I get home.
American Game Gear Manuals are a bit too tall to fit in a standard DS Case, but my Game Gear Cases will be tall enough to support them.
Hopefully your European multi-lingual Game Gear manual will be able to fit too.
If not, I'll increase the dimensions of the case design.  ;)

This is exactly what I need. The normal UGCs just didn't appeal to me because of their transparency. It would stick out in my collection in a bad way. I'm totally excited about this, and plan to keep an eye out.

I'm assuming these will have a plastic cover that will allow slip-inserts?

Naturally, otherwise these would be useless considering our site's goal ;)

Hah, I guess that was a pretty silly question, after all.

Ok here's a crazy Idea,  Could it be possible to make  big cases for consoles? With a sleeve on it just like a game?  Im talking all consoles.  Not just handhelds but even PS2 Fat, and Original XBOX.

These have been talked, but the killing thing has eventually been printing, scans and eventually lack of interest.

Plus, they would be mondo gigantic.  They'd require significant R&D to make strong enough to do the job, not to mention tooling costs, which would be significant. 

For systems, I'd try and find some sort of existing PP snap-top container or something to that effect.  You could just print adhesive labels (although PP doesn't really get along with most any adhesive) and do it that way.  I've been considering doing this myself for a while as displaying all my consoles has been tricky  :-\

Yea I can see how hard this would be to accomplish.   I find it very exciting what Seymor Onion is doing.  I would definitely go in on it.

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet endeavor.  I really hope it happens.  I really don't want to re-case anything that I've already done, but for future projects it would be killer so I don't have to modify the shit out of every UGC that I use for a particular format.  I already did that to all my DS cases for all the damned portable games, and some of them don't fit very nicely no matter what you do  :-\

I meant I think he is planning on making cases for storing the actual consoles.

I missed that before.  Even looking again after seeing this post it took me a second to see it.  That's pretty crazy.  I would love to see a universally-sized case for home consoles.  That's a serious project right there.  I don't know if there would be enough demand to make it worthwhile (let alone to recoup costs), but I know I'd be down for that!

It seems that this thread has pretty much gone to the wayside.....
I really hope the NES cases will be made soon....
