I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I just checked and my Nintendo 3DS fits very nicely in a UGC. Now that there's Cosmo Black, Aqua Blue, Flame Red and the Legend of Zelda Limited Edition, this might be a good time to make a 3DS case while there still aren't too many.

I'll look and see if I can find my Cosmo Black 3DS box.

Found my box and did some scans.

I was able to do 600dpi, but I couldn't find anywhere to set Descreen/Derasterize/Moire Effect.

Hope they're still usable.  :-\

I put them in a folder on my Box.net, Download Here.

So I got bored the other day and threw together a VMU in VHS-C case cover with my meager photoshop skills. Did a couple of test prints to see how it would look in-case. Doesn't look too bad, all things considered. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism (if that exists on the internet) on them, and see what you guys thought.

I think its a brilliant Idea plus I have a few VHS-c cases doing nothing.

Please can you share  ;D

James.

Sure! I'm sorry I've taken so long to respond. I've been super busy with school lately that I forgot about it for a while.
If you or anyone is still interested in them, here are a couple of links to a .png and .psd if you'd like to try your hand at it.

So I was going to make a cardboard case for my e-Reader. My initial plan was to copy the HeartGold cardboard case but make it thicker, but then I thought that I want to add foam on the inside to make it secure. Side loading wouldn't be the best, so then I went with a front opening box style. I'm using my Guitar Hero: On Tour box as a template, but I'm going to want to modify it to make it taller. I think that I am going to use cardstock since it is what I have. To make it a tad thicker, I was thinking to gluing two pieces together. While measuring it out, I've figured that I'm going to have to print it out on three 8.5 x 11 sheets and include tabs to glue all the sides together. As far as I can tell, we don't have any templates or boxes for the e-Reader done.

I'm going to use sheep2001's raw e-Reader scans to complete all the sides of the box. Thoughts?

Now might be a good time to ask for help on my Call of Duty Modernwarfare 3 Headbangers headset. Here are some links to pictures for the project:

The cover should be big enough for a double sized DVD case or UGC.

Haven't been around in a while - has anyone attempted the 3DS covers yet? If not, let's post what scans we have and maybe one of us can take a crack at it.

Also, it might be helpful if we once and for all determined which Nintendo handheld systems fit in UGCs and which won't. Here's what I know of so far:

Game Boy - Does NOT fit in UGC. Will fit in 39mm wide DVD box (12-disc) - Would it fit in 2 combined UGCs?
Game Boy Pocket - Fits in UGC -- Covers Completed
Game Boy Light - Fits in UGC
Game Boy Color - Fits in UGC (snugly)

Game Boy Advance - Fits in UGC (snugly)
Game Boy Advance SP - Fits in UGC
Game Boy Micro - Fits in UGC

Nintendo DS - Fits in UGC (snugly) - Need confirmation
Nintendo DS Lite - Fits in UGC -- Covers Completed
Nintendo DSi - Fits in UGC
Nintendo DSi XL - ?? - Need confirmation
Nintendo 3DS - Fits in UGC

I'm pretty sure the DS fat is too big for UGCs.

And I don't know about the rest of you, but if the UGC is pushing down on the buttons when the case is closed, then that is too snug to be considered a proper fit (as is the case with the color and advance), and I wouldn't ever recommend storing them in UGCs.

I do agree, especially on my GBC, though some people may still want to do it, like I noticed Shenske had his GBA cased back on page 1. I'd personally still love to have a covered box to at least represent it and perhaps hold peripherals for the system.
