Thanks for all of your encouragement, guys.  8)

I hit my $ goal one day early (Saturday), and deposited it in the Bank.
  ;D
I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys sooner; I had all day today off from work, and was playing Tales of Xillia (PS3) with my sister. Am about to catch some Z's. I'm going to start working with the CAD guy in Dallas, starting first thing, Monday morning.  ;)
Monday evening (after 4 pm) I have some more 3'rd job *stuff to do, and I may have one or two new clients that need my assistance during the week, but it won't interfere with the Game Cases.

I have enough source materials to send the CAD guy, via eMail, to keep him busy for about a week, before I need to drive up there (from Houston) for a face-to-face.

*I'm helping a client with photographing, packing, and listing, some of her stuff on eBay, that didn't sell during the Garage Sale, last weekend. The other 1 or 2 new clients just need/want some basic training on how to use some apps on their PC (a demystification course).

The extra money, from continuing the 3'rd Job, will be nice to have, just in case I can't afford to do the Prototyping, and sending-out Example Game Cases to the Testers (some of you guys), with the $ we now have.

I'm just as excited about your cases as I am about the Retron 5. I need to start selling some stuff on eBay so I have cash ready =P
If you (and hyperkin) don't hurry I'll end up blowing it all on repros xP

You know... Repros will also fit in my Game Cases.  ;D
Ya'll could weigh the costs of:
A) Repro Game + *Manual + one of my Game Cases, to
B) Repro Game + *Manual + Repro Cardboard Box,
and I bet you a T-Shirt, that option A will be a lot cheaper!

I'm not hatin on the Cardboard Boxes that some Repro places make.
It is very time-consuming work to make em by hand.
And short-runs of them, on Machines, can be rather expensive.

Those who prefer Cardboard Boxes shouldn't worry, as they'll always be people who prefer the look of Cardboard Boxes, so it's unlikely that the release of my Game Cases will stop Repro and Homebrew Game Makers from offering a Cardboard Box as an option.

*Manuals are Optional, and availability depends on whom you get the Repros from.

The Good News was that I hit my $ goal, working the Third Job, Got Paid, and the Checks Cleared.  ;)

We've been working with (paying) a nice, professional Injection Molding company up in Dallas, and they have CAD guys on staff, that know their stuff. We've been talking to them one, to two, times a week, and they e-mail us corrections to the CAD models, within a few days after the calls.
Can't give an ETA till the designs are finalized, but it shouldn't be too much longer, before we start asking for addresses, to send prototypes to those of you who will be testers.

We'll make the announcement of that public, but won't post any real names, locations, or addresses of the testers.
We'll just use your Forum Names. For Example: "Arseen".
Since ya'll are also gonna post your opinions, and pictures, or even YouTube Videos (It's up to ya'll what you want to do with the Prototypes) about them, anyway.  :)

Can hardly wait.
I've been holding off from buying other cases while waiting these.
