This may have been asked but will some good artwork be available for these like the NES ones were? ....

Yes  ;D ;)

Will these be horizontal, vertical or both?

This looks amazing  :o

Now I'll have to finish the retail NES Covers to start the SNES retail one  ;D.

Sad part is that for now I only need 5 cases, 100 is a lot for me.

Man if you had a donation page I would give you money lol, It's so frustrating trying to build out even a small collection like mine but having to pick from the page, the forums, and random google artwork and having varying quality of case art for my collection, not to mention all the ones that are missing art all together. That 100% collection you did for the NES alone is worth a donation in my opinion, to have the SNES in the same boat, even though I only have 18 SNES games, still worth it in my mind. You've saved me a ton of hassle and my small NES collection looks great, can't wait to get some cash and chip in for this preorder, 100 is a lot but will give me plenty of headroom for the future!

Seriously tho, both you guys, what you provide to the community is amazing, keep it up!

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Just sent $30, it's not much but it covers the covers I've used so far and 10 of the next one's I'll be using from the SNES collection. Seriously, thanks man, you make this so much less painful for us!

Thanks! That was very generous.

You and a handful of other have thrown me a few bones and I appreciate it. I am flattered and glad you guys/gals like the covers so much  :-[ :D

1.90 per case is a bit high considering that I am going to have to do extra work on each case, and reprint the art work. I better start saving.   

What if you rotate the SNES cart horizontal, will the dust cover fit? or is the SNES cart too long?

Yeah, it is a bit of a shame that the dust covers won't fit, but these cases should do a better job of keeping out the dust than the original cardboard boxes, and probably better than the UGCs. The amount of play/slop in the UGCs is kinda amazing. Maybe you could cut two of the four tabs to make room for the cap, but there still might not be enough room for the extra width/height/depth it adds to the cart. Would have to be willing to sacrifice one to test it, and it wouldn't hold the cart as well anymore after that.

But it's the fact that these cases should have less play when closed, and fewer gaps for dust to get in that makes them worth the money, IMO. Well, that and the space for manuals. All my US releases are cart + manual, and right now the manuals are all separate, which I'd like to fix. And perhaps it's a bit easier to swallow for me when my collection isn't very big right now.

Putting my pre-order in now, but I may be moving in a few months, how long is the wait expected for these? Push come shove if it takes too long would you be able to change my address on the pre-order?

O yea, when I clock on the GB/C cases it shows out of stock but when I click on each of the tabs its in stock, I'm assuming since now I can order them again they are back in stock, may want to fix the images on the web page, figured I should pick up another 50 of those too lol. Whats another $270+ in game cases lol

Any word on the N64 and when the samples may make it over here?

Been out of the loop for a while, but so stoked to see SNES cases are made.
Surely this has been addressed, but as I've been out for a while I just want to ask:
Any gray cases will be available?
And min order quantity is strictly 100?

A job well done. Last I was active the Game Gear case was in the works--that still going?

shenske definitely deserves donations for all the work he did. I'm a bit tight this month, but once I'm able I'm definitely donating. Your work and Shadowfox's is truly remarkable.

Was also wondering how I could thank you for your wonderful covers... I just sent $15 your way! You deserve more but the CAD to USD conversion sucks right now. I can't wait for your SNES ones, Thanks for your hard work. :D

I'm assuming I got the notice because I ordered 50 more GB cases at the same time as the 100 SNES cases, but I just got the shipping notice and it says both of them in the invoice. I'm assuming they aren't coming tho, since this is a preorder right? Or are they really shipping out now?

Eh, instead of trying to pester Shadowfox on timing for the SNES cases, does anyone who ordered NES cases remember the turn-around between them being available for pre-order and them starting to get shipped out? I'd expect a similar lead time here, and I can stop checking compulsively in case there's an update.  ;D

Wasn't trying to bug him, I was just wondering because I put the preorder on the same order that I bought in stock stuff in. It did sit for about 8-9 days before I got a shipping update besides here's your tracking number. It seemed odd because I was going in expecting a preorder and they'd just ship out in a month or two or whenever

Here's the funny part tho, the shipping info started to update yesterday and now It's on the way and showing a Saturday delivery. I guess we can find out then if they are coming out yet or not. But, as it would always seem to happen to me, the Army is sending me out on a 9 day exercise Friday night... Go figure lol. I don't want my wife to open them and see what I paid on video game cases, especially since we're buy a new house right now too lol. Hell she'd probably be more mad that I bought 100 cases but only have 19 games in my SNES collection right now lol, she hates when I get stuff just to store it (we live in a small house, hence the new one lol)

I can maybe try and get her to take a picture of the boxes... Should be easy to tell between 50 Gameboy cases and 100 SNES + 50 GB cases lol
