New NES cases (work in progress)

[banisher]

So when the new NES case be up by next month of so? Thanks.

Well.... dangit.

I've been playing with the cases all morning now and there is no way to keep the cases their sizes while allowing the Dust Sleeve to stay on.

I hate to go back on what I said, but I don't think the Dust Covers will fit without cutting out all the holders. (Like we have to do now with UGCs)

  sorry guys!

I KNOW RIGHT! 

So, what I'm doing now is talking with the factory attempting to owe them the remaining balance on the first mould while moving forward and paying upfront for the NES mould we all really want.

I think we are like 1-2 days away from striking a deal on some middle ground. Then at that point it will take 20-ish days to re-do the mould. At this point it will be 10 days to deliver to me.

This is exciting! I don't care about the dust sleeves myself. Thanks for your dedication to a brilliant product, Shadowfox!

Was thinking the same, just the idea of making a high quality product is sufficient, thanks for your time and dedication on this. Hat off for you Mr. Shadowfox

I would be on board for Sega Cases/that thread.

I unfortunately wont be on board with these because I've already pretty much cased my entire NES collection in UGC's so it's a little late for me to go back now. However, if I was going for these cases I wouldn't be bothered by the fact that dust covers wont fit. It's a good benefit for UGC users since you can store the manual in the sleeve with the cart, and keeps everything a little more snug inside the case. But with the manual and cart clips inside your new cases, I don't think dust sleeves would be all that necessary.

It's alright with me if dust covers don't fit.i rather have good quality nes cases. I need 760 ,I'm planing on buying 100 a month or as soonest I print covers for them. After these I know your planing on making for genesis next. Maybe game gear and snes after. Any plans on making game cases that fits atari 2600,7800 and colecovision.                                                                                             

Thanks  Shadow Fox.

Chalk another one up in the "Don't care about dust sleeves" camp.  Heck, I don't even have dust sleeves for most of my carts honestly.  The UGC does what the dust sleeve would have done, as has already been noted - covers the cart and gives you a place to hold the clip.

I'm really looking forward to these, along with your inevitable snes and n64 cases. I'm currently using your GB/GBC/GBA cases and they are fantastic! I quite like how you're aiming for the nes cases to look is similar to the ds cases too.

But anyway, I think the lack of holding games with dust covers isn't that big of an issue since the case itself should protect the cart from dust. Keep up the good work, can't wait to have my entire Nintendo collection cased!

yeah when you said no dust cover i was ok with it originally.

then you said we might be able to i was really happy for it...but not having itisnt a big deal.  Want them to stay close enough to the specs of the labels


btw what do people think about the ends....will they need to be reworked?  i think it is "close enough" but i know some people want perfect....

if they do need to be reworked would be nice to have a section to upload them to so TCP is the one hosting the new images and not peoples mediafire that could go away

Hi.... remember me? I'm the guy who is trying to take down the curse that is the perfect NES case 

So not a HUGE update, but this morning the factory and I struck a deal! We will be re-creating the NES mould and I should have the cases samples within 3 weeks  I will let ya'll know when I get new information.

Great to hear.   

Is this the overseas factory, or one of the companies here in the states?

Excellent news

Over seas... If I were to make these in the USA I'd have to charge $200.00 for a box of 100 of the NES cases BEFORE SHIPPING!
