custom TG16/PCE hucard cases… ROUND 2!!

[Arkhan]

Hey.  Thats what I was going to do for the AbCards, once we got them going and sellable lol

well at least this confirms that the idea will work.

It took longer than I thought with the butter knife, but I think I'll keep it....

nice Oldman... those sausage fingers did a decent job
now make sure you slide that tab on the sleeve in behind the case insert... it will hold it and then your clip will guarantee it will stay.

Sparky, Ill credit you in the design of the AbCard case as a tester, lol.

I have a few ideas for how to cut that hole out nicely so it looks like it was meant to be cut out.

this reminds me.   How would you feel about maybe making the stickers for the cases?   Are they expensive to create?  Would be pretty awesome to involve moar community bitches for this

make sure you slide that tab on the sleeve in behind the case insert.

Can't quite do that - the clip prevents it. But the clip actually holds the card nice and tight, without the sleeve tab
being behind the tray. And, you can grab the tab to slide the card and sleeve out.
I'm surprised no one thought of this sooner..

 I think its because it looks tacky (for now!) and were all pompous douchebags when it comes to our PCE stuff.

[Sparky]

tacky? i think it looks pretty damn good, (the plastic clip is not for me) and i took very little care on this first one as i did not even know if it would work.

ALSO i would be happy to help ya out with stickers or what not, there not to expensive but having them machine trimmed can be depending on numbers. PM me if ya want me to work out a quote for ya

Very nice.  I bought some cheap cases a while ago from staples and they are made from very flimsy plastic.  I just popped the tabs that hold the cd in place and the game fits nice and snug.  They flop around without the sleeve.

love the creativity Sparks! Nice job!

I definitely love the creativity!  A year or so ago I went to a plastics company here in town and asked what it would take to mold some new cases.  It was some pretty serious bucks, mostly in setting up the mold/die/whatever they call it.  Once you have that it's like $1/case, but you'd have to sell thousands of them just to break even on the die setup.

I decided instead to just buy keith courage and sports titles however many times I needed to in order to have cases for all my games.  ;-)

  Thread Revival here. Obviously Sparky Linked to it though. Still an awesome idea. Also, if you are creative enough and have a printer, you could always make custom inserts for the CD cases to boot. I was thinking about trying this but really had no clue if it would work. Now I'm very happy to know that it will! Nice Sparky!
