Oversized UGC's?

The plastic was much thicker and it felt a lot stronger, but the outer dimensions were still the same as the current UGC. Also there was no sleeve, and there were no signs that it had ever had a sleeve (no markings from the original seam). I was able to add a sleeve using Wiggy's method and added it to my UGC collection.

I know mediashelving used to have the option to purchase the cases with and without the sleeve. Perhaps it was one of those

I had about a hundred of these a while back (and were slightly thicker, like the OP has). Had to sleeve em all by hand. Got em from another user here. You can actually still get them last I checked. I used them to package RCG Gameboys and such really early on. The little extra thickness was just enough to squeeze the systems in without mashing the buttons and whatnot :)

I bought them on Ebay. I didn't need very many, so I bought a lot of 18 for $20. The inside of the case is nearly identical to a standard UGC. It won't hold an NES cartridge as-is. They are also slightly shorter, which is why the top and bottom of the cover extend beyond the sleeve.

Yep, looks like the original run of them. Appears to be the same as the black ones that i have
