custom TG16/PCE hucard cases… ROUND 2!!

[Sparky]

hey guys welcome to round 2 of custom PCE/Tg16 cases   lets get right to it...

Grab a CD case and take out the inner tray & using a damn sharp xacto knife and ruler cut out the inner tray to the size of one of your hue card sleeves (tape down an old sleeve and use it as a template).  Dont include that small tab of plastic that is on the side of your sleeve.. that will be used to hold your card

NOTE: make sure on the size of your hue card sleeves as you dont want to have the inner tray cut to small,
having it very slightly over sized is better.



After it has been cut out reassemble and slide your card with the sleeve tab under the right side edge
of your inner tray & presto, your card and sleeve sit in very firmly, all held by the plastic sleeve tab.
(you may need to lift/bend the tray slightly to allow the tab to slide in easy the first couple times)



also have a look at the back of the case as you now see the back of the hue card as well,
nothing to exciting but stilling looking good.



OPTIONAL: like i mentioned in my first custom case thread you can spray the back of a cd case
with Krylon Fusion Plastic spray paint (satin black) to match those tg16 cases to a T!!!

Very clever sparks. You could even put the hucard in with the label facing the back so you can get a glimpse of what game you have from the front and the back.

Nicely done Sparky.  Thanks.

  COOL I can get rid of all of my Demos and worthless CD's, AND store PCE at the same time!!! Brilliant!!!

Nice Idea :-)

Very nice...Another ingenious idea by the ever creative Sparky!   Simple, clean and cheap to do...I like it. 

Almost like the white PCE hucard holder/case.

thanks guys, just an idea and it works so until you hunt down other TG16 cases this will do.

So, sparky....
When are you gonna cut up an old CD front, and glue a strip in to mimic the clip?

[Sparky]

hey would like to see that giv-r a shot oldman... i am not the only one with an xacto knife

[TheOldMan]

Please note the name. They don't trust me with sharp objects anymore.

[Maybe I will this week. We need something to put the home made cards in.]

I was thinking the same thing for a clip. You could even use clear plastic from a cd case front for the clip. If you use a really hot blow dryer on it for a minute it would round off the edges and it wouldn't look too bad. Then use some epoxy to glue it in should do the trick

Neat!  Might have to try this....

[TheClash603]

Ouch!  I cut my finger.

Gotta get my gf to do this for me...

[TheOldMan]

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

...Got to work on the positioning, though.
