Any interest in new replacement HUcard cases?

[jelloslug]

If you decide to make these, would you make extra clips as well to replace those that are broken in our old cases?

I don't see why not.

As far as you've gotten already, you seem to have experience in this, which gives me hope of this happening!

I'd be curious to know what you've done before, and what you've manufactured.

Nice model, btw.

I'm an engineer; I make lots of stuff.

At this rate you could even have an alternate style clip for the thincker HuCards.  Just a thought for later down the road.  Man I am actually excited to see these....

Consider this post my pre-order for a minimum of 30 complete OS cases.  If you make clips available I'll take at least a dozen of those as well.

Looks excellent.  I would recommend making them unique in some way.  An imprint on the back with your initials, or "reproduction" in small font.  I'm sure that could even be part of the tooling.  It would keep the scammers from using these as originals.

@DK - I was unaware that Seymor was planning on doing NOS and then OS cases.  You might want to contact him with your reasoning as it is sound.  Maybe even point him here.  Perhaps we could get some sort of partnership going.

I would totally buy some cases.

I was thinking about putting a little logo or something in an inconspicuous spot.  Maybe under the spot where the game goes or on the angled section inside the case.

I did the model for the clip tonight. If my calculations are correct the clip should fit new cases and original cases too. Here are the two parts assembled:

looks great! what is your goal for a price point on these?

[CPTRAVE]

Thats awesome, yup I'm getting some. Let us know when we can order them.

Note his bottom line. Now, I really didn't want to get in his face about it. He's an awesome dude, and doing a service to the community, which is why I didn't push it.

Yeah, I remember reading that thread in it's entirety.  I just didn't remember reading it the way you wrote it here.

As cheap as possible.  I know that the average "cheap game" can be bought for about $5 so I want to get much lower than than.  Once I get some quotes for the tooling I will know more.  I fully expect that the tooling will be very expensive and quite possible cost prohibitive so I do have a "back-up" plan that might work also.

 Wow Jelloslug, your model looks great.  If these become reality, you'd be doing the community an incredible service!  Unfortunately I'm too late because I was very lucky to find a seller who sold me a couple dozen clip cases (from sports games) for $2 each, but these would have been ideal.  I hope these see the light - there is definitely a need for them.

Hello, ABCard cases.

lol.  No more CD cases with the thingies clipped out.
