Yeah, they look much more specific than all the rental cases I've found.  I've got a couple Saturn and Virtual Boy Blockbuster rental cases, and on the outside they are really plain and only have stickers on them to indicate the contents. 

The classy formed logo suggests they were made pretty specifically, or possibly a partial retool for the front cover only, based on some existing product.  Either way, it looks sweet and nice job on the restoration!

On the foam?  It's free for me, but the type and colour varies.  Most of the time I get in hardware and it's packed in pink foam or pink plastic foam.  Black like I show in the pictures is harder to find, but I do have some.

The part that kills it is shipping.  Canada to USA would be ridiculous.  Even if I cut it to 8.5 x 11 size before sending.  I could price it out if you are really looking to get some.

I've never seen one for a PCE.

I use a case i bought from Harbour Freight. I just need to get some foam for it. What is the best method for cutting foam without making it look super ghetto?

That looks awesome dude! So Sexy. Quick question for those that have the hardcase for the turbo grafx system. Do they all use foam? Mine doesn't have foam but is molded to fit the system booster controllers and accessories and a few games.

No, they do not all have foam.

I'll have to post mine in here.  It looks the same on the outside but is molded completely different on the inside.

Yeah, I don't think mine is like that either.  The mold is different and I don't think it has any labels stamped into it.

What is Harbour Freight? 

As for the knife, it depends on how steady your hand is.  I just cut it free hand using the knife I showed earlier in the thread.  It's best if you have a bit of patience otherwise don't bother.
