Good that here in Finland Disney cases were always (least the ones I've seen) have always been high quality injection molded or such.
JDavis:
Yeah, maybe I could buy these just for my Disney games, and buy Onion cases for everything else ;D

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.

Really? I am unsure where you get that. I have a lot of experience with UGC, these cases are significantly more durable than the UGC. When you come over and see us in Cleveland check them out.
These type of cases are not everyone's cup of tea, but I like them personally. Of course they aren't as cheap to make as injection molded cases per unit, but up front costs and development time were significantly less. We needed a case for the EverDrive-N8 (NES) so we got these made, but we also decided since we were getting them made to also offer them as a stand alone product.
For those interested there are pictures on our FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.644771888872555.1073741828.136116593071423&type=3
I have dealt with Seymour Onion before as well. Really nice guy and I hope he releases a great product.

I agree with you StoneAgeGamer (and welcome to the site ;D) I worked at Blockbuster for many years and had some experience with the Disney cases. They were actually very hard to actually break. If they got sun baked they would become very brittle and if they were stepped on or had some weight on them without the VHS inside they would get squished but nothing like if you stepped on an empty UGC. I only have a few NES games and have not cased them yet so I'm a little excited to see how these turn out.
Dravenae:
When looking for a replacement for UGC, I have four questions that if any answers are no to, then I'm just not interested.
1) Are they cheaper than UGC?
2) Are they more available in Europe than UGC?
3) Are they truly universal without modification?
4) Are they as or more durable than UGC?
If any of the answers to those questions are no, in particular question 1 and 2, then I'm just not interested.
Another question that could be a make or break is, what are the cover dimensions for the new case. In comparison to the other four questions, this question is pretty trivial, but if the cover dimensions aren't as close to 3366px x 2100px as possible, again I'm not interested. I don't really want to have to go through editing my templates after I just made them.
Just my two cents as a consumer.
