Knowing USPS I'd say 300+

Might want to ship straight from China, it costs pennies :P

Yeah, there must be a cheaper way to ship international.

Ok The good:
Plastic is flexable and sturdy, the case can bend but it wont break.

They fit manuals nice, Inlays look good.

UGC covers fit just fine, I don't have any NES ones, but the SNES look good.

Speaking of SNES they fit very well between the NES clips:

These would make good SNES cases until proper ones are made.

The bad:
A smaller gripe first, the clams are hard to close at times. Unlike a UGC, the clips do not automatically line up all the time. It's easy to have the case bend and the clips miss each other, but the will line up most of the time.

But the bigger problem is I fear the clips that hold the cart in will damage the cart if you are not careful. They scrape agenst the top of the game, and this is not a problem for most carts, but I fear it will scratch paint off of the Zelda gold carts.

Also the top right clip overlaps the label.

If you don't lift the clip of of it, it will scratch the label. It happened to my Golf cart when I was not careful,

The white is glare, gut this could be worse if you are not careful.

I GTG to work now.

That's interesting with the SNES carts fitting so well.  It almost makes me think it should have been designed for both from start.
