especially since some manuals are worth more than the game carts.

What was the new pricing and did you mention that you are having Snes & N64 ones made as well? I really hate bending my manuals for SNES and N64, In the UGCs.

100-pack:
$1.80/ea. ($179.99 total)
Optional Pouch: +$0.20/ea.

50-pack:
$2.00/ea. ($99.99 total)
Optional Pouch: +$0.25/ea.

25-pack:
$2.40/ea. ($59.99 total)
Optional Pouch: +$0.30/ea.

10-pac:
$2.80/ea. ($27.99 total)
Optional Pouch: +$0.35/ea.

Single:
$3.99
Optional Pouch: +$0.50

Yes SNES/SFC and N64 cases should be out early 2014.

We received next shipment of BitBox for NES in yesterday. We are waiting on documentation pouches. They should be back up on the site by the end of the year.

We also will soon begin working on SNES/SFC and N64 cases. These should be available for sale in first quarter of 2014.

Say I bought 100 cases, do I have to have 100 pouches?  Also, I have all my manuals inside of these http://www.retroprotection.com/product.sc?productId=40&categoryId=23 would they fit inside your pouches? 

... not often I have to ask another man if something will fit inside his pouch...

You can select them with or without pouches.

I don't know if those will fit int he pouches or not, they are pretty close to the size of the manual. I may actually look into getting some custom pouches made that are a little wider and maybe slightly shorter.

Just an FYI we do have our new shipment of NES cases in. They are currently listed on the site. We have not taken new pictures yet, so the strap versions are still showing, but everything else about them is the same. Our holiday sale ends tomorrow, so if you want to save 10% you don't have much time. We have already sold almost 10% of this batch.

We have also send off SNES, SFC, and N64 carts to begin the engineering process for the next case designs. I will obviously post pictures for feed back when I get images of the computer models. We hope to have these done and ready early 2014.

I have taken some new pictures of the new NES cases with the strap now gone. Nothing else has changed except that.

Just some updates:
  • We now have added 300 covers to our database that keep the original art aspect ratios. These cover art were designed specifically for BitBox NES cases. We are working on more.
  • We have are sending [SNES, SFC], [N64], [GB, GBC, and GBA] carts off to get cases engineered for them. Once we have some design images we will post them. Expect to see cases for sale in a few months.
  • We worked with a plastics company to develop a better sized documentation pouch. These new pouches are slightly wider and shorter. They should fit larger manuals and maps better. We should be receiving these new pouches in a few weeks.
  • We are hoping to be at the Midwest Gaming Classic this year with all our BitBox products (plus a ton of other stuff). So if you live in the Milwaukee area and are interested in checking them out stop by our booth.

A while back i was looking at those NES cases, but the shipping to The Netherlands is sky high ... i really love the look of the cases, and UGC's are really annoying to trim down for NES games and don't really look that nice. It's also pretty tedious to do ... considering i''ve got around (i lost count) 85 NES games.

We are actually looking into cheaper shipping options. Just to clarify we do not mark up shipping, that's just how expensive it is through USPS. We have had a lot of interest from Europe, especially from the Scandinavian countries. There is a shipper called Jet Carrier that ships from the U.S. to there. We are looking into that option to see if it will be a good option that will save out customers money. If we do find a cheaper shipping provider we will post here.

I'll second that. USPS int'l rates double and tripled in some instances over the last year or so. Fucking morons operated in the red for so long that they couldn't afford to incrementally increase prices over a longer period of time, so they just jacked them way up to try and get back in the black. Ugh.

A pack of 5 games i had ready to send to sheep changed price from last week to this week. The envelope option was removed and i was forced to use the "use your own box" for 15.08 instead of 9$ the envelope was

Just a quick heads up, we are actually giving away a 10-pack of NES cases on our FaceBook right now (only lasts until 5PM EST): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=802344343115308

There is also a 15% off BtibBoxes coupon code in the description of the give-a-way that only lasts until midnight.

I was all for it with the 15% off code. Then the shipping cost more then buying a 10 pack...stupid UPS and Canada. Next time I guess.
