I think I might have a simple solution that would eliminate the extra cost of the strap but still give you a spot in which to insert the manual. When I'm back at my desk I'll mock up something. It'll be easier than me trying to explain it.

Well I have to sell this batch first, but I will talk to manufacturer. Without documentation strap and higher quantity I may be able to get them down to closer to $1.50 - $1.75/ea. for 100-pack (maybe lower who knows). It may be possible to offer a plastic pocket that can be stuck inside inside cover for those who want that option.

What I may be able to do, I will have to look into final costs, but to help move this first batch out I may be able to throw in free cover art insert printing. So basically if you bought 100 pack you could also select 100 games inserts you wanted printed and I would print them off for you. I have a very nice color laser printer and a commercial stack paper cutter so they would all be cut to size. Speaking of which, is there anyways to actually download all the cover art for a specific system at once. Rather than 1 at a time?

Thanks everyone for their critiques and suggestions. I somewhat regret not coming to this forum first before producing them to get your insight. Luckily I didn't order a ridiculous amount to start.

There is no bulk downloading, I believe it creates undue stress on the server...and the server does go down....a lot.

Also we don't have EVERY NES cover, so I do think that free cover prints would be kind of fool hearty unless you use what I call "place holder covers" just simple covers that you write the title in sharpie. You would use these in place of the regular cover art, naturally. I have a small set of these "Place holder covers" you would be free to use should you go that route.

Here's what I'm thinking.

Dotted line is dye cut, manual slides between the front and inner layers. Make sense? No extra parts ;)

Hmm ... you are getting my attention now.
The corners of the box still bug me though. I understand that it kind of has that ripple effect (where it comes to a point) from the material used (its not hard plastic) but i think that would drive me nuts.

I'm also not a huge fan of the excess black space of plastic above where the cover insert sits. Is there any way to trim that down closer to the edge of the outer sleeve?

Arseen:
Thank you shenske.
With one picture you convinced me against these cases.

So I quess Onion cases or continuing with doublewide DVD cases is the path I follow.
