Anybody has a good idea on how to store a NES PowerPad?
Is there any cover for it that we could slap on a small custom box... or a crazy 20 UGC case ;)

Thanks!

Maybe a small plastic storage bin and slap some custom sticker labels on it?

I guess I should go for that.
I think that IKEA box should fit one PowerPad nicely:

May need to have a custom shaped cover to fit within the curves of the box side.

Ya, that would look good. I still say do a label on the outside rather than taping a cover to the inside because it's only semi-transparent; think it should be clear for a cover but I look forward to seeing how it looks either way.

I just notice that there is also a semi transparent black version.
That wouldn't look bad either  :D

HAHAHA :P

Make it 10 UGC wide by 2 UGC high... that might even bi tight, lets go for 12 wide!
Now when someone will say double UGC, he will have to mention if it's double height or double width ;)

I never use my power pad, so it just sits in the original cardboard box.

But a stackable storage bin would probably be my second option.

Wow my spelling here is terrible!  Was at the bar then decided to get on TCP when I got home. My CPU should have a breathalizer to turn it on.

I didn't had much luck with the IKEA boxes after all.
If the small one would have 2 inches wider it would be perfect, and the bigger one is not space efficient... you can actually fit 2 pads, but they go over the box by 1 inch :(

The shape of the folded pad doesn't help. Rubbermaid is next on my list!

Finally found a good sized box.
It is not perfect, perhaps the 16L rubbermaid one would be better, but I could not find any.

This is a Sterilite 14L. It's actually a good size to fit a system with a few wires/controllers and they are stackable.
