Recieved my sample case today.

It was frozen = brittle.
Started my somewjat rigorous quality check.
Bending and dropping and twisting.

Did not break.

Waited for the case to warm up and repeated the test.

Did not break.

Does not smell.
It's not flimsy.
Case closing mecanism is looser than in original cases, which is actually good thing.
Carts (GB, GBC & GBA) stay well in place.

I simply can't find anything negative about these cases, especially after he removes the holes and enlarges the manual space.

-> I WILL DEFINITELY BUY THESE

Wow, that's really positive. One of my chief issues with many cases is the smell. There are so many cases out there being made with recycled smelly plastic. This is looking like it's going to be the new standard.  

Only thing I can think of that would make this even better is if somehow a second mold could be made specifically for DS / GBA games so the pokemon fans can have their DS/GBA games in one case.

Well, that and the oddly shaped pokemon pinball/rumble cases. Those don't fit do they? I've needed a boktai case that actually works for a long time now.

Yeah the only smell is faint plastic (like any high quality DVD case).

And no way GBC rumble games fit in.

How about the Boktai Cartridges? I don't expect stuff like Yoshi topsy turvy or warioware twisted to fit, but these are just taller gba carts aren't they? Speaking of which. Neo-Geo pocket color cartridges should be the same width as GBA games, just taller, do those fit at all?

Boktai I don't have so I can't check, but assuming its not thicker than the GBA carts, least not by much, it should fit as is or with minimal modification just perfectly.

I'll check NGPC when I find my cart.

Loose carts fits in, but nothing is holding it down.

I might look into buying these cases, although they are huge compared to standard gba cases

They're the same size as DS cases, right? That's not that big, and smaller than GBA cardboard boxes.

I can't wait for these. Any updates on expected delivery time?

I am happy you like the case Arseen!

Answer for Question 1: other, non-standard size GBC/GBA games. I am planing on making a special cases for these as well. (I am trying to work a deal with the mould manufacturer for a price break IF I commit to 3-5 moulds. :-D ) So in short; There are plans for cases for those odd sized games.

Answer for Question 2: ETA.... Why does Asia have to have such LOOOOONG Holidays... :-\ The plant is still not back from Holiday (I was told my contact will be back Friday night) Basically, she going to confirm the alterations, I'm going to wire her the rest of the money (For the mould AND first batch) She said it would take 10-13 days to alter the mould then I'm going to have her send me 4-5 samples AGAIN (Making sure they are correct and proper color) I will send a few of these out to people like Arseen and more than likely Blumpkin to check and confirm they are good. Then the first batch will take 1 business day to run, then a 2 week boat ride, 1 day customs check and a 300 mile drive from Los Angels to Vegas to my door.... THEN me grabbing a nice rootbeer, grinning ear-to-ear, feeling like I need to bake a cake and celebrate and PMing all ya'll and hashing out orders. I have my work cut-out for me but I WANT these in your hands and I'm very sure you're going to come back for more.  ;)
