We need you now more than ever, mate!  Can't wait for that Kickstarter to start up!



My only problem will be getting what to do with my existing UGCs once your cases come out, since I have so many of them.  I'd hate to just pitch 'em, but I'm sure I can find people on ebay who would take them.  Those people will buy ANYthing. ;D

Since I can't find your topic relating to your GB/GBC/GBA cases, I'll ask here.

Are you planning to have those cases be DS width, 3DS width or something else? Recently we discovered that GB, GBC and GBA games (including manuals) as well as Game Gear and NGPC all fit perfectly in 3DS cases (plus anything else that isn't thicker than any of those).



If you offered cases with 3DS thickness, but with tabs for those carts, that would be ideal I think, since they would take up the least amount of space for those of us that have a ton of handheld games. Or maybe you could have both options? Just throwing that out there.

I was hoping he would make cases that are square so the art can be the original retail size.

I'll prolly take em.  I wanna use the Onion cases for NES games, but I really don't wanna switch over hundreds of cases for everything else :(

These cases are the reason I'm waiting to start on the NES collection again ;)

I'll make separate threads, for my other game case types, just before I start making them.
Until then, feel free to ask about em in this main thread. ;)

I don't own any of the pictured 3DS Cases yet, but will try and get one.

For the Handheld Game Cases, they'll all be roughly the same dimensions as a DS Case.
However:
The Game Gear Case will need to be taller, so it can support Game Gear Manuals.
Some of the other Handheld Cases will be thicker, so the thicker games (with Rumble or a Gyro or a Camera and so on) and Cheat Devices, can fit inside of them.
I haven't finalized any of their designs just yet, but I have already made some preliminary designs on paper.

I like the idea of making them roughly the same dimensions (or, at least, the same aspect ratio) as the original packaging they came in,
to make it easier for you guys to convert box art into inserts.  :)

Out of curiosity, would you guys like a case for the eReader that lets you store all of the ScanCards in with it,
or would you prefer a separate case for the eReader, and separate cases for each pack/collection of ScanCards?

Any chance of making smaller cases than the UGCs?  Space is such an issue and I hate to tie up the space of a UGC for Atari, INTV, Genesis, etc.

http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/ has some small clear plastic boxes for NES and SNES Carts.
Unfortunately, that's the only two types they make for Cart Only, the others they have are for boxed games.
You might want to ask him if he has any plans to make Cart Only Boxes for other systems.

The costs of Tooling, for cutting shapes out of the thin plastic that he uses to make boxes, is far lower than the costs of Injection Molds,
so the odds might be good for him to expand his product lineup into those areas, if he gets enough requests.

For the short term, you may be able to find some Ziplock-Style bags (Relock Bags) that are just big enough to put a game cart into, from an online store.

I currently have no plans to make Game Cases without Manual Support.

Your post reminds me of something I forgot to mention, though...
I made a statement, last year, that my Game Cases wouldn't support the Dust Covers for American NES or SNES Games.

However, that may change.

NES
I think it can be accomplished by simply increasing the Cart Area a bit in the NES/SGB Case, and having two sets of locking tabs.
One set of locking tabs would need to be removed so a Sleeved NES Game can fit.
I'll make sure you all can get at them easily with cutting tools (like that weird nail-clipper thing that pops up on these forums from time to time).
You'd just have to cut the top off of them, where the bubble thing extends outward, towards the NES Cart.

The second set of locking tabs would be a bit taller, and further apart, to hold the sleeved NES game in place.
The second set could just be ignored by people who don't have sleeved NES Games, or are using the case with an American Super Gameboy.

SNES
I'll need to remove part of the side walls in the SNES/SFC Case, to account for the added width near the bottom of the cart,
and make a depression in the case, to account for the added thickness of the dust cover.
My current setup for the SNES Cart Locking Tabs don't come into contact with the area that the dust cover occupies, so they won't need to be removed or repositioned.

I may need to increase the thickness of the case, that is directly under the SNES/SFC Cart Area, so the depression for the Dust cover doesn't wind up being a large rectangular hole in the case.  :o
This is one of those things that need to be worked out with the Prototypers.

Ya, I prefer to have my games have the sleeves/dust protectors on them myself.

And like Wiggy mentioned. I'm waiting to see how your NES cases are before I start casing them.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

Ditto on dust cover support.

I'm about 300 UGC's into my collection and with the price increase I'll be waiting to see what the onion cases are like before buying more.

Probably separate, since there are several different eReader card sets, and people have made covers for those sets, so they must enjoy making them separately. Actually a case design with an insert to hold just cards isn't a bad idea down the road, since there are eReader card series, plus now 3DS AR cards and Kid Icarus Uprising AR cards and who knows what else in the future, not to mention any other card-based games there might be that I'm not aware of (was there something for PS3 showed at E3 the year they announced the system?).
