Arseen:
Well maybe in the future I write the manuals and you print them as yer print quality was awesome as is the cutting.
Same to the book of maps or even full blown guide.
But not now
Work killing me.
But my summer vacation starts 17th.
But then there is Juhannus.
You know what happens in Finlands them. :-X

I'm not saying it is a bad product, far from it. I'm mostly just trying to address to you what things bother me in the prototype in hopes that it may be possible to fix. I have no intention to steer people away from your product or calling it 'junk'.

If you went up any higher the pocket would not work correctly. The cover art pocket (unlike hard plastic) is actually sealed at the bottom. I personally really like this over the hard plastic style. That black gap at the top is about 1/6" from the end of the sleeve to the beginning of the seal. I am not sure why, maybe the angle, but it actually looks bigger in that picture than it does in real life. I may have to take some better pictures, those are of the prototype I originally received.

I figured the rounded corner was the reason but was hoping it was not. Perhaps a different angle would be more flattering and give a better perspective to how it really looks. Is the black gap the same height on the top and bottom? This would actually be a good thing in my opinion since it would have symmetrical balance.

Yes I wish it was cheaper to make and hopefully in the future if there is enough interest I can work on the price. I did not come to this forum to try to sell anyone anything per. Its not that I don't want your money, of course, but I am a member of a lot of other retro gaming forums and I really don't like it when stores come to those forums and just try to sell stuff and really don't contribute anything. I leave all that kind of stuff for my FaceBook and Twitter. Its part of the reason I did not come here before, because the main reason would be to sell stuff. Once I saw that there were links coming from this forum I then came here and found this thread and decided to maybe answer some questions and concerns. I feel this may have been a mistake now, because I have received a lot of good input.

Nah, i didn't get the salesman vibe. Just someone how is passionate about their product and wants to defend it. No problem there as i would do the same in your shoes. Don't worry you have already gotten some of my money and will continue to do so. :D
Please don't feel it was a mistake to come here. Our site is obviously centered around making game covers and when different cases are introduced we love to give feedback about them. Be it positive or negative we are just trying to give honest perspective to how we feel about it. New cases generate a lot of excitement! Lots of different cover possibilities and ideas always coincide.
I'm excited for Wiggy to get his hands on some to give us his insight. I will likely order a case or two for my own judgement as well. Getting a few of them lined up next to each other may also help me get a better idea of how they would look the shelf. Do you mind snapping a pic with a few lined up?

I meant I think it may have been a mistake not coming here first to discuss the cases before getting them produced. I did take some polls on my facebook and stuff like that and the response was pretty good even at the current price point.
I will get some more pictures up in the next week or so.

I guess it's just that we've had a number of threads over the years discussing our "ideal" cases and just whats wrong with UGCs so I guess there's a lot of pent up input haha. We're case nerds man, this whole site is a monument to it!

I will admit I was a little disappointed with the initial reaction I read before I got here to post, but the back and forth I have received so far has got me feeling better. If anything I now feel more encouraged to get the price down more and hopefully provide an alternative to the UGC.

You see my post about the manual storage?
