Ok! So I sent off the request to the plant asking them to let me know the cost/time it would take to give these cases a solid back and place the logo as a stamp in the top righthand corner of the left side of the case. Since these cases have a sand finish the logo would be glossy like the original Nintendo DS logo is in the authentic DS cases.
I don't expect to get a reply until Chinese Spring Festival is over. (So Monday-ish)
So! in the mean time, let hash out these beauties prices... ;D

I just look at it this way,
Price for 10 Nintendo DS cases is about $8
So about $80 for 100 cases. (Roundabout)
I know with custom work, cost goes up.
So let's say for 10 of your cases the cost is $15
So $150 for 100 cases sounds pretty good to me.
I'd be willing to spend that much for cases I don't have to modify. If it ended up getting any more expensive than that I would prolly just stick to making my own. That's where you have to be logical, because a lot of people are used to making their own cases so it honestly can't cost much more than what's on the market already.
But anyway around it. I think your cases looked fine to begin with.
Plus I PM'ed you.

how would these fare with the clear GBC carts? is there a way we could get cases for the battery pack games as well? (like Pokemon Pinball, Missile Command, etc)

Would need to be much thicker for the rumble games, and considering how few rumble titles there are, it's totally not worth it from a manufacturing and distribution standpoint. Better off just making double DS cases by hand ;)
For me, the price needs to be sub-$2. Anything over that and I'll just buy used DS cases on eBay and modify them or one of the many other aftermarket replacements. The only way I would ever consider paying more is if the quality were significantly higher than other aftermarket cases, and judging by the smell you're describing, I'm having a hard time believing that they are :-\ It would also be really nice if the color more closely matched the original cases too. The black plastic just reminds me if the cheap-o cases that are already out there and cost about .25-.50 a pop.
I HIGHLY recommend that you do some research and find a handful of wholesale buyers before moving forward. Our thoughts are one thing, but they will tell you point blank what they are willing and not willing to accept regarding the design. I'm guessing that you'd like the keep these exclusive to your own store/site, but your retail price will be insane as a result and you may NEVER recoup your tooling & production costs.

If 10 were $15 I'd expect 100 to be less than $150.
