Hi, I was just wondering if the UGC have gotten smaller because when I print out SNES covers and slip the paper into the sleeve of the UGC case it seems the case needs to be a little wider. It makes the paper wavy on the back of the case. Should I just change the dimensions a little bit or is it the quality of the paper that I'm using?

For me, the case size varies by order.  But my most recent order seems to be smaller than previous shipments.  I don't alter the size of my covers before printing.  I print it out as is, and simply cut off a super small fraction off each end.  It's so small, it isn't noticeable, but it allows the cover to fit without the paper getting wavy.  You will have to experiment to see how much needs to be trimmed in order for your covers to fit with your specific cases. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I think ill do that too. I changed the size on a couple of them but it doesn't look right. Thanks for the tip.

I always scale the width to 3345 px before printing, for this very reason.  I've never had a case that fit a straight-printed one yet.

Something to also notice on the UGCs is that this latest batch have way thinner art work sleeves and when you put them on a shelf next to each other instead of sliding off each other they STICK!  :o Not sure if anyone else has had this issue yet, but the last 2 boxes I've opened have these new sleeves.

Nice selling speach... Yes we will use your cases instead.

But I too have heard the quality has gone down.

Jesus, I havent had to order any for a while as I bought an ass load the last time..........but only have about 4 left, so an order will be happening soon.

That is really crap though, so because they are doing so well they decided they needed to make MORE profit by reducing quality!?? I have always been so impressed by their build and overall quality.

Here's hoping the new crappier ones have not yet reached the supplies of my part of the world (UK) and that I can get an order in before they do.
