NES Plastic Case Covers

[ShoothimNow]

*These are originally sleeveless, but with a little ingenuity and spare time (less than 2 minutes), you can easily add a sleeve to them!*

Larryinc64 a while back started to make covers for these type of NES cases (somewhat)



*5 Minutes after clicking "Reply" due to connection errors*

I will write out a tutorial later tonight if I can get my neighbors to help me with a couple covers! SO be expecting an update soon =D

I found the thread I was looking for through last nights connection problems:    
12 Disc Poly Case for Cartridges.

I have been looking for a nice place that might sell them cheap, but I cannot find them, so it would be useless for others, but I would really appreciate a template if someone could create something easy and sleek.

Nothing against Larryinc64, but I feel that his NES cover looks a little... fake

Noble attempt, but it would bother me in the long run.

The cases I am using are also a completely different size (length is shorter and spine is a slight wider)

What are the dimensions of those?

[mariocaseman]

I bought a ton of these on ebay just before I found our website...  they have no place to insert a cover...  There is no plastic on the front, this is pointless.

You can easily add a sleeve to it with a 3 ring binder "clear sleeve", scissors, and a wood burner  .  Tutorial will come later in the day.



Updated original post as I found the original thread I was looking for and also added my requests for the covers I need.  These are currently all the NES games that I own instructions + games to.

Here is a quick Bomberman creation from a PSD I already had.

As for what the spine would look like, I have no clue... so here is a noble attempt.

Printed, and tested, looks great (Need to apply the sleeve to the case).  However, the spine on my template is off and needs to be a smidge wider.  Right now I can see spots from the front and back.  Only the spine needs to be increased in size.

wonder if it would be fesible to print them on sticker paper  and stick them to those cases for those that cant attach sleaves themselves

Ye if you then protect the paper with something.

[larryinc64]

Or put them inside the case, it is transparent.

[ShoothimNow]

Instead of using glue, I used a wood burner and melted the plastic protector onto the case itself.  Worked like a charm =D

[ShoothimNow]

Would anyone like to take a stab at making a better looking spine logo please?  I would EXTREMELY appreciate it  

Or... because I plan on only using NES for these cases... should I completely remove the spine logo completely?

[larryinc64]

You could probably remove it, or use TyrannicalFascist's http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=10279.msg78299;topicseen#new

Or I have A idea to do a small red stripe at the top with NES in the NES font, to go along with the one on the front of some games

I'm practically 400% sure that I hate the red spine, I really don't know why.  I just.. don't like it

[larryinc64]

Why does everyone hate red? 

[ShoothimNow]

The red does not "fit" universally with all the covers as not all games covers had the red bar.  I don't need a thing on the front of the box stating in multiple locations when it is "Nintendo Entertainment System"
