The plan is to see how this case goes. (And it looks like it's going to take off) If it DOES take off, I will be immediately working on more moulds and posting them here to iron out any/all flaws.
I think after this case my next is going to be a UGC type with Booklet clips and enough space on the side to hold N64/SNES booklets. But I am going to make sure the case size is identical to the UGC's now. (So no TCP artwork altering will be needed) Nice thing about that is I am able to get them in any color... So I WILL be creating BLACK UGC's (Something I've always wanted personally) I am trying really hard not the count my chickens before they hatch. ;)
But in short, yes, the plan is to make other handheld cases. (Like Game Gear)

Is the case tall enough for these RPG/ Club N cards? Also, if yes, when I move those clips back that 1/4 inch will they fit then?
THANK YOU for such a great review on these clips.
I will see if I can address the artwork sleeve and the flexibility or grooves for the manuals. YOU ARE THE MAN when it comes to Booklets!

No problem
They are tall enough, DS cases are the same height as GB boxes.
SeymorOnion already has some cases close to release that fit NES, Genesis, SNES, and N64 manuals and games.

It might be best to focus on other cases, why have 2 cases for NES games and none for Gamegear.

Ah! VERY COOL! I've seen SeymorOnion's post before but I did not know he was still actively working on it. :) Ty for the heads up!
And yeah, NES cases would have also been in the same swoop since all that would change would be the insert for the mould.
I ain't gonna lie, my main motive behind pursuing UGC cases is due to a conversation I had with the creator and inventor of the UGC and how ignorant he was about upgrading them. I offered to go in half with him,(To update HIS mould) and he had zero interest. I've also tried getting a better price per unit several times, even offering to purchase 100k+ cases at a time, but he wouldn't budge. (Yes, I would have really done that, it was a game store chain, but like all big fish it got away ;) ) So I feel like I need to make a superior product and drown out his market with a better product and cheaper price breaks. :)
IF I did do UGC's my cost would be around 25% less than the best UGC rate out there and I'd make mine $0.05-$0.15 cheaper just to make a point. (I know, I know.... aggressive much? Have you ever played the games RISK? or Settlers of Catan? These games feed my domination hunger) That being said, I have HIGH respect for members of TCP, and IF SeymorOnion is working on these I will back off until his product comes out, and if I feel the need to make them at that time I will.
I would really like to know if he's still moving forward with them. ;)

Speaking of Game Gear cases, Would a PSP case fit a Game Gear game manual? If so, that would be about the perfect size.
