Well at first I was a bit leery, (hence the old Disney VHS tape boxes crumbling to pieces) but these look awesome! I may be very interested to get some very soon!

Stone Age, do you offer the option to buy a single case with art? I'd like to see one of these things before investing in a 100 of them.

Yes we will.

Wish I would had more time to talk to you and even come over to your booth. It was way busier than I expected. We were the last booth to leave there.

Tell me about it.  I was NOT at all prepared for that level of madness  :o  I was only able to get away from my table later in the day, and that was only because there were 4 of us there.  Bummed that I didn't get to do any shopping earlier, as I'm sure I missed a lot of the good stuff that I wanted to find :(

Feel free to shoot me an email via the site.  I'd love to chat as well :)


Just an update. We are currently finishing up the system that will allow customers to choose the cover art they want printed. System is pretty much done, we are just making it look pretty. Should be ready in the next week or so. For now if you order the 100-pack cover art printing will be free. It may not always stay free, but will be to start. We are not looking to make a direct profit off the cover art. We are basically looking to cover material and small labor cost. Half of what you pay for cover art on smaller packs will be donated to The Cover Project and $5 for 100-pack. We also make it very clear that the cover art is from The Cover Project every step of the way.

We have obtained all current NES cover art and converted it to a format that fits the BitBox case. It looks great.

I still can't believe that you're offering this!  I can't even imagine trying to print and trim 100 various covers for every box sold  :o  I thought I was nuts making all my packaging by hand, but you sir are insane! LOL!

They do indeed feel quite sturdy, unlike the old Disney cases, and that's really all I was worried about.

Yes we will.

I'll have to consider doing this and inspect it myself. I'm not skeptical about the quality but i do want to see the before diving into 200 of them.

Either these cases, the onion cases or back to UGCs. Decisions Decisons

StoneAgeGamer, since you were trying other games in the cases, how about Atari carts? 2600 and 5200? 5200 is pretty close to the size of NES but maybe a bit thicker. I have been gathering covers for my games but haven't had the xtra cash to get the UGCs yet. And if i got those, i would still have to modify them for Atari carts. When i saw this post, i also checked out your website. I didn't realize there was a flash cart for NES and SNES!! I just recently got the Atari 5200 Flash cart and its awesome! If your cases will hold Atari as well i may be "swayed" to buy from you! :)

Yes we do want to do 2600/7800. Honestly we plan on sending a ton of different carts to the engineering company and have them combine as many possible into different cases as long as they look good and hold carts well we want to combine as many as possible in the future.

5200 has a flash cart now? Crazy.

I checked out the site for the first time today. Looks like a good place to pick up some snes games. Beats hunting for 'deals' on ebay and estarland's jacked up prices.

Just a few more questions;

When do you expect to restock cases?

And I see that you're based out of Michigan, do you have a store front or anything I might be able to check out? I'm originally from Michigan and make my way back every once in a while.

We do not have a store front. It is something we hope to have possibly in the next few years.

Here is quick video of me going through cover art selection for printing: http://youtu.be/i2c_3AR_3HU

We planning on launching this a long with putting BitBox NES cases up for sale in during the first week of July.

So, youtube isn't working for me right now.

Is the selection an upload or do you have a list of covers?
