New NES cases (work in progress)
popcorn:
These are looking good, nice job!

You gotta remember though, the manuals for a lot of NES games weren't very tall and wide. I'd suggest adding maybe a third clip-thingy on the cases so those wee little cases could be better secured.
Just a thought.

This.
I think what he is describing would be similar to trying to put a PS1 manual into a PS2 case. Only one clip would hold it, and therefore, it would not hold it very well.

Yep, my original layout was to have 3 clips (or 2 clips just lower) the issue that arose was that the 3rd clip would be right where the lip is to open the case and there is just not enough plastic to form another clip there.
The reason moving the clips lower is not a solution is because they would bump into the clips that hold the game cart on the other side.
I believe I have the clips where the smaller NES booklet would be able to be clipped with BOTH clips and and the bottom edge of the booklet would touch the bottom of the game case.

A little difficult to visualize, but have you thought of one large clip instead of 2 or 3 small ones? Not sure if it would fit, but just a thought.
Let us know when those proofs arrive!
