Looks good! Could be the screen on my cell phone, but the copy appears to be bigger than the original

Sweet!  What's the process?  Any more pics of the steps leading up to the final product?  How's the durability?  Are you gonna mass produce 'em?  I must know more!  MOAR!  :mrgreen:

Nice!

Make more & sell them to us! If you do, make some white ones too for the PCE.

I know Seymour Onion was looking to possibly mass produce these as well.

These look very nice. I have quite a few TTI games that need cases. Ever think about adding a plastic clip inside the case to hold the hucards in place like the ones used in the US?
SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

Please answer all of these questions, in the order Necro asked them.

Thank you, snickersbar.

I used silicone mold to make a copy, I thought about mass produce them but only got one mold, It won't have the clip to hold the hucard it just more work, the durability is good I just need to refine it a bit more, yes I can make white ones as well

I really don't see the big deal with the little clip. PC Engine games don't use them all they use are little cuts of foam to hold the games in place.

I think at least 50% of the clips in my cases are broken.

Same here. My copy of Keith Courage came without the clip, it had double sided sticky pad instead. Poster tack could be used on clip-less case to hold in game without being too sticky or leaving mess like regular double sided tape.

Step one - someone makes a ton of these.

Step two - I buy a ton of these.

Step three - I need more Sparky stickers.
