GB/GBC Foam inserts for UGC and SeymoreOnline cases

[Seymor Onion]

Awesome mate! Keep the games sat the right way up, and go with the fourth idea for the manual sleeve!

Seconded. 

Development of your Case Foam Inserts, and Manual Pouches, are coming along nicely.

Ok, so here is the "final" design for the foam. I would like some input before i order just to make sure i didn't forget something. Also, if anyone wants to order any please PM me so i make sure i purchase enough.

Here are the specs of the foam.

5.5" L x 5.25" W x 0.25" D
The middle cutout is a total size of 4" L x 2 3/4" W

(Closer look at individual cut-outs)


By removing the far left or far right foam you can fit Virtual Boy Games


By removing all of the center foam pieces you can fit HuCards (with the sleeve - Thanks Mr Onion)


By removing two middle pieces, you can fit Atari Lynx


By removing the three middle pieces, you can fit Sega Game Gear


By removing two of the three middle pieces, you can fit Neo Geo Pocket Color


By removing 2 of the three middle pieces you can fit Game Boy and Game Boy Color


By removing 1 of the three middle pieces you can fit Game Boy Advance


Since all of the little middle foam pieces have their own adhesive you can re-arrange them any way you want to fit a wide variety of cartridges.

Please sound off and let me know what you think. I would like to get these ordered next week.

Thanks,

Tom

I would like to know if anyone would like to order any of this foam. I am ordering enough for my needs but will get more if there is a need. I am thinking that i can do $0.60 per piece in lots of at least 10.

I have decided to drop the manual pouch from the design. They take away from the professionalism of the case. I am thinking of not doing anything for the manual (as they will sit flat on top of the cart since the foam is in place) or trying to find some clips i can glue to the left side. Ideas?

I just got the final design prototype and am ready for production. If anyone wants these, i will need to know pretty quick. PM me with quantity and i will get you pricing.

Wouldn't it be easier just to have individual foam inserts for each cart type, I mean without any loose padding parts?

I mean insert for GBA would have perfect hole for GBA cart, VB one would have perfect hole for VB cart and so on.

I jusrt hate loose waste.

I understand your point and thought of that during the design phase. There are no loose foam pieces. The foam sits on adhesive so once you remove the pieces you need to in order to fit the game desired you "stick" it in the case and you are done. No loose foam. And almost every cart that can fit, fits snug.

Once i have production pieces i will send a free sample to anyone that wants one.

By loose I meant forexample you use the foam insert for VB, thus you end up with all the unnecessary pieces.
And as practical (read cheapskate) I store them somewhere instaed of throwing them away... You get the point.
I know they are semi-waste at this point but...

Ok, i see. Problem is cost. It costs about $200 to make a die for each type of cart. Doing it this way makes only a single die. Plus i only need to buy one product so cost per piece is lower as well. Each little piece has its own adhesive so you can always cut and use them in other cases (like 3DS cases to hold GBA carts in place)
