Here is a youtube video to showing an example;  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFS-TtCt5kc

This is the TurboGrafx repro site;  http://www.tg16pcemods.com/

It states on the site that the cases are no longer available. I've emailed them concerning getting more cases. The cases look PSP-ish...

Suggestion - Maybe these cases can be reproduced here..?

Thanks

What about these cases?

http://www.direct-source.com/products/70410__SLIM_DVD_CASE_CLEAR_TO_HOLD_CREDIT_CARD

I would like to try them myself, but it does not look like they ship to the US. They also sell a 14mm version.

Cool case ideas

Why is TurboGrafx so expensive to collect for? I have heard the the PC Engine is a little less expensive...

Supply and demand.

Supply is very low due to poor sales, demand has increased exponentially.

I reached out to a supplier of those credit card DVD cases. Trying to work out getting a sample case sent. They are not cheap to ship to the US, but if they work maybe I can find a way to get some to supply to the community.

I will let everyone know more once I get a response on the sample.

Please do.  Knowing Wiggy, he could probably 3D print something =P.  Hell... I might make an STL file now...

Unless those "lazers" are on the heads of friggin' sharks, I'm not impressed. 

Also, you forgot to put quotes around "lazers."
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I wish there was a simpler way to make those cuts, that Wiggy made, on a CD tray.
