Why are you not using clamps instead of rubber bands to hold the mold together?

clamps can distort the silicone mold

I'd like to know if anyone can do this.  Where the heck do you get silicon and how do you make the mold?  Do you have plastic resin beads kicking around in your basement to get any colour you want? 

Oh, and bigger pics please!!!

Yes anyone can make a silicone mold, I brought all the stuff online and watch on YouTube how to make a silicone mold. Yes you can make any colour just add pigment to the resin.
Making 1000 copies won't happin over nite, it take 15mins for resin hardin and I got one mold

The cost (not simply in terms of materials used, but time and labor, and rejects) for making piecemeal HuCard cases might be higher than simply buying big lots of crappy games and harvesting the cases.

Speaking of cost, what do you figure the cost of making one case was?

Sweet, wasn't expecting that. I wouldn't mind a white PCE HuCard insert if you ever have a spare one to sell. I'm in Australia also.
