Stone Age Gamer's NES BitBoxes

[razielleonhart]

I just seen a post on evilbook about stone age gamer about new NES cases called bit cases. Sorry i dont have the link i am on my phone right now. Once i get to my laptop i post it. I wanted to see what you guys think of them. I have not started to case my nes games and this seems cool it has a pocket go hold our manuals

Link to the facebook page for the cases https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=640128856003525&set=a.304816229534791.92328.136116593071423&type=1&theater

They look pretty nice.  Seems like competition for our mr onion!

Made in America..  sounds expensive.

My very first thought. 

You guys think UGCs are prone to breakage during shipping?  Ha, wait to get a case of .025mm thin vac-formed cases.  2' fall from a shelf and it's gonna assplode!


They look nice otherwise though.

Yeah... that reminds me of those cheap puffy cases Disney VHSes came in.

Onion Cases all the way!

I remember them selling these and they were a bit pricy, like $10 for a 3 pack, so I'm guessing they will not be $1 a case.

I'm sticking with Onion, and not just because I did the art for his site.

Edit: Confused Retro-Bit with Stone Age Gamer, never mind.

http://www.stoneagegamer.com/ is this website safe because they have some NES games I want for good prices

Think they just confirmed that the cases will be vacuum formed on their FB. Will definitely be avoiding in favor of an injection molded solution.

What exactly is Vacufoain? What other things use it?

That's what I was thinking too. They look fancy at first, but quickly turn into space wasting junk.

I think Super Famicom cart boxes inner trays are vacu-formed.

Vacu-forming has many uses:

Vacuum Formed is how a lot of VHS stuff was done, kinda bendy plastic with large hollow sections. Injection molding is how current UGCs are done.

[sheep2001]

If I can remember back to my CDT lessons at school, vacuum forming heats the plastic and basically wraps it around a mould or die - forming the shape.  It's cheaper than injection moulding, but leaves the plastic quite brittle.
