Covers for peripheral equipment?

[the7k]

Yeah, I noticed that my DS doesn't fit. Oh well, I found somebody willing to trade my DS for a 3DO (the 3DO I just bought turned out to be a dud) and considering GameStop would probably only give me $40 (at most) for it, I guess it's time to get rid of it and get a DS Lite.

I can get some boxes from work for some of the newer handheld hardware boxes but they are display boxes so it may not match up perfectly. I'm glad to see everyone really likes this idea but in order to get the ball rolling ... start scanning! 

@sheep2001
Yes please do scan in your boxes for GBA, GBAmicro, NDSlite & PSP

@the7k
Umm ... I'm not sure if what you have is a UGC. My NeoGeoPocket Color is too big for the case and will barely close even if i force it shut.  And just an FYI the original NDS does fit in the case but just as the GBC it is a bit snug and bulges a bit.

@z0mbiew0lf
Funny you find my handwriting nice, i wrote those very quickly. Please do scan in your boxes for Daxter PSP, black NDS Lite , the Mario Kart NDS Phat and the original GBA (regardless of condition it will get things rolling).

@Paul
Thats a lot of portables! The GBC does fit in the UGC but a little snug ... it bulges a little bit but closes fine.  I'd be happy to make some cases for a bunch of those systems if you have the boxes

@thedrowningman
Please do scan in your GBC & GG boxes! Even though the UGC can't hold the GG it would still be nice to have the scan on file untill we find a suitable container to hold it in.

unfortunately, the only boxes that I have are the more recent ones (DS lite, DSi, possibly DS phat) I think.. I'll have to dig through the attic one of these days.

And for anyone wondering, I got those gameboy colors when they were clearanced at gamestop for $2.50 each, so I figured it would be cool to get one of every color

I pulled a UGC out to go through and test how each of my systems fit in the case.

@ Shenske
That's strange. It has things like "CD", "Electronic Arts", "Sega", and "Super Nintendo" written inside of it, so I figured it was a UGC.

[Paul]

Alright.  So I tested which handhelds of my bunch fit and which didn't.  As mentioned, the gargantuan original gameboy had no chance of fitting in a UGC, as well as the DS Phat.  But, the rest of them fit nicely (except for the GBC which bulges but still closes).  I'm really excited about this project and I hope we can get some boxes scanned in soon!

Yeah, I've got a... "Unicase Australia" which has 'Nintendo', 'Super Nintendo', 'Sega', and 'Game Boy'. So I assume there were various companies making these things, but only UGC's are still in production.

Here's the Game Boy Color.

Anyone tried to put a controller inside an UGC to see if it fits nice?

[ShoothimNow]

Ummm I guess I'll have a go at this...

For reference... the Fat Black case is out there, as I have many... don't know where they originated from as I swapped out MediaShelving cases for the black ones at work

If it fits in a MS UGC, then it would fit in the fat black.  However, some fit the fat black without bulging/forcing.

Just throwing some possibilities out there (N/A = not tested)

Peripheral	MediaShelving UGC	Fat Black UGC
Regular GB	No	No
GameBoy Color	No	Yes
GameBoy Advance	N/A	N/A
GameBoy SP	N/A	N/A
GameBoy DS	Yes	Yes
PSP (Phat)	No	Yes
NES Controller	Yes	Yes
SNES Controller	Yes	Yes
SNES Mouse	No	No
Wii Remote	N/A	N/A
Wii Classic Controller	N/A	N/A
Sega MS Controller	Yes	Yes
Sega Gen Controller	No	No
Sega Sat Controller	No	No
Internal HDD (PS2)	No	Yes
PS2 Network Adapter	N/A	N/A

I got a bunch of display boxes from work last night and scanned them in so i got some good stuff to work with.  Here is one to get things started. The Front and back are slightly edited to add a little color to the cover. Time to run to work!  More colors and covers coming soon!

Nintendo DS Lite - Pink


Tell me what you think  

[shenske]

Polar White, Gloss Silver, Metallic Rose, Sky Blue

[Paul]

wow. this is turning out even better than I imagined...

beautiful work shenske!

[sheep2001]

[FellipeBr]

That's great!!!

Anyone knows if the DS lite and the other handhelds fit in an VHS case?

[Zelimpdna]

The DS Lite does. I can check some others tomorrow after work if no one else does it before then.
