Well, I finally got my order about 45 minutes ago...and with one exception, I love it. The cases are very well made, and I'm relieved to have my small NES collection better protected.

The one caveat was after opening the FedEx box, I saw 28 cases, three of which were damaged. I only ordered a 25-pack, but it seems like a waste to intentionally wreck 3 cases instead of using newspaper or Styrofoam peanuts for shipping materials. Here's what they looked like; any comments, Shadowfox?

What does it matter if he delivered 25 perfect cases? Maybe the 3 extra cases where damaged before hand.

Not sure if you seen this trick, but they may be useful to try a triple CGC pack of SMB 1-2-3  :)

I'm willing to bet they weren't wrecked on purpose.  I'm sure they were already damaged beforehand, and he just slipped them in to keep everything packed together for shipment.  If the sleeve is all that is damaged, you can always replace it and have a free case. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Don't understand, you bought 25 cases, he send 28, 3 of them damaged,  so you still have the 25 you pay for. Don't understand what comments are you expecting from Shadowfox.  ??? (not making this a discussion  ;D ;) )

I think he add them to fill up the spaces and protect the others.

You can take monjici or TDIRunner advice  ;)

I was just curious, that's all.

Well, one of the wrecked ones was also missing the plastic overlay, so...

Watch this video for a way to make a double case or to just replace the outer sleeve.

I've done it many times using Wiggy's method and I've salvaged many cases that way.  ;)

Of the three extras, only one has cuts that are barely noticeable. The others' are pretty deep, so I'll probably junk them. That leaves a single case left, plus my order of 25 and the single case I found at a gaming convention...27 in total. My current NES collection has 19 games, so that's 8 left at the most.

When will the blank "greys" be available again for the NES? Just ordered 100... My AVS is in Swedish customs and the wait made me do some NES shopping  :)

Edit: I guess they are available, even though the product picture says "Temporarily unavailable". Nice! Back to the AVS!!! Ps I can really recommend this console, every NES cart I've thrown at it looks stunning on my 4K tv. Bunnyboy has out done himself this time  :)

Got my shipment 2 days ago, and have started some sneaky printing in the work place  ;) These are really awesome NES cases! They were shipped all the way to Sweden, and only 3 of the 37 I've unlacked so far has been a wee bit wonky. 1 had a burn mark that looked a bit like somebody put out a cigarette on it, 1 was a bit crushed and one was crooked but salvageable. I think that ain't to shabby!

Will continue printing and unpacking cases in the week to come! But again, they are awesome and look so good in my game shelf!!!

Odd, I only see clear as an option for the 100.  I was looking to put in another order as my NES collection has outgrown my case collection again.  Is there any update on when the dark cases will be available in larger quantities again?

Just adding some more praise for Shadowfox. I've ordered NES, GB, and UGC cases from the website multiple times. There were some shipping delays once, but I emailed Shadowfox and he responded quickly. My first order (which was all UGC and not his custom cases) arrived damaged, and he quickly replaced them.

Shadowfox is 100% reliable. He provides great service and an awesome product.  ;)

Anyone heard about the SNES cases yet? It's been a few months now that he's had my money, kind of expected an email or forum post with a date or news by now

I E-mailed them a few days ago. they told me the SNES and the N64 cases were "In the water heading this way now". so hopefully they will be here soon.
