Anyone know of a case that doesnt require cutting for NES games? or the name of a plastics company who could make them (understandably, in BULK)

all you have to do is take out the middle disc holders and they work perfectly

I wouldn't try to cost Stone Age gamer sales but one thing that should be considered if you choose to go with their cases is that they are much larger than Universal Game Cases. Wiggy did a comparison somewhere on TCP between Bitbox cases and UGCs. If you're trying to maintain a unified collection and already started up with UGC, it's something to keep in mind. Ask Wiggy where he posted his comparison.

Just a note: If Stone Age Gamer had designed their cases with the same dimension as UGC, I would have gladly purchased them.

Update: Here's Wiggy's comparison.

Good point.

We actually wanted them to match the UGC dimensions. The problem was that the thermal form style cases needed to be larger. As you may have seen from inside of the case NES carts really don't have much room even in our larger cases. We are also working on more cases for other systems that will be the same size as the NES case, so if someone started with or moved their collection to BitBoxes the dimensions will stay the same. The only smaller cases we plan are for TG16 and portables. SNES/SFC and N64 will be out very early 2014. More systems will follow. We hope to have all major retro systems and portables covered by Summer of 2015 at the latest. For less popular systems we plan on a small and large generic case and offering foam inserts.

In that case think you should wait Onion cases, They are the same size as UGC except for the spine that is a little bit wider ;)
