Ok, so this is a topic from a person on another Forum, he is planing on making a Nes case and a Replica of Segas clamshell case like a universal case for sega games. he wants to know which case he will make first so he made this poll for us to vote on which one we would like or need first.

he already made a GB/GBC/GBA case with the exact dimension and material as the DS case.

so feel free to vote and if you have any question he leave his email on the link of the poll, feel free to contact him.

if any of you are interest in the GB/GBC/GBA case i can post a link to the other forum where hi shows and took feedback to make that case and sended some exples to pleople on that forum to get feedback on the cases and now is on sale by him, if that doesn't cause any problem here, also he has a web page were hi promote and sell them too

A quick Google.... Is it these? http://www.customgamecases.com/#!blank-gb-cases/ckqy (http://www.customgamecases.com/#!blank-gb-cases/ckqy)

I'd have more input if he posted what the NES cases looked like.

yes that's his page and those are the GB/GBC/GBA case

hi's still in the design of of both cases, Sega clamshell and nes. but hi first want to know which one hi's going to produce first.

i can link the page of the thread of the other forum where hi start collecting information from us and sending examples to try them to some people on that forum, that way you can see the process hi went from 0 to a finish case with the exact dimension, color and material as the DS cases but those are just for GB/GBC/GBA (if that doesn't cause any problem here). Or the link where hi started the thread for this poll (again if that doesn't couse any problem here)

You're welcome to cross-post whatever you'd like, as long as it's not to something that will negatively impact people (infected sites) or illegal.
We're fairly laid back here, and quite a few of our members are active on other sites/forums as well.

I would vote NES.

Stone Age Gamer is already trying to tie up that market:

and he's quickly moving on to SNES/SFC:

Not a fan of those BitBox cases. They look like the old, cheap computer software binders on the inside, though I like that they look like NGPC cases from the outside.

@Shadow:

Now that you mention it they do look resemble the Mystique Atari cases:

i don't like the material of bit box, with time they start to brake in pieces. and are bigger that actual UGC, so bit box would need more space in shelves

*POLL* NES vs SEGA Clamshell (From original forum) all comments from members there, and the last post was today with the stats of the poll

The Rise of a new UGC :) (from here the idea of those cases started, opinion of us on that forum on how those cases should be)

They are coming (soon)! The CustomGameCases.com GB/GBC/GBA Game Cases!!!! (GB/GBC/GBA cases, from start to the final porduct, pictures, feedback, and comments on modifications that he had to make in the procces from feedback some people did from examples of cases he send)

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=14889.0

I'm not a fan of BitBox. I suppose I would vote for NES since I don't need any SEGA cases, but there is no way I would say I would buy them without seeing them.

I know,  after the voting ends I will decide which case he will make first, and after that hi will star designing and will start as he started with the GB/GBC/GBA cases, with a thread in the same forum and you'll, you'll see photos of the examples the company sends him, etc. If you like you can see how he do it in the link above for the Gameboy case.

Also I will keep updating with the link when he starts with any of this cases

Update on the poll, this is a copy paste from original post.

POLL STATS AS OF 7/10/2014 9:00AM (PST)

Total of 132 Votes!

SEGA Clamshells: 36.4%
NES Cases: 63.6%

Total Cases "called" for

SEGA Clamshells
LOW: 1939
HIGH: 5765

NES Cases
LOW: 4287
HIGH: 9431

(Again, I don't think the HIGH numbers really mean anything )

So today NES has the popular vote AND has the LOW + HIGH numbers.

I'm going to let this poll run for a few more hours.

I too am not a fan of bit box as shadow mentioned they look old I mean they look like the Atari cases but I think we all have had our share of Disney movies in these type cases as well and well they are bulky and just look terrible.

Agree with both of you, i think the vacuum formed plastic cases weren't good options, when the time pass the plastic begins to "toast" and then start to brake in little pieces every time you grab it

I thinks the same happen to this bitbox

Note: in spanish when the plastic start to do that we call it  "plastic toasted", i don't know how you call it  :P

News on this topic

Nes cases won the poll so he is going to make them first, but there is a possibility of making both at the same time

Link to the post when hi anounce that nes won the poll and from that point some opinions of members on how they will like to see the cases

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=16821.msg147913#msg147913

pretty interesting. I never used any of the bit box cases just universal game cases. I have all my N64 games in them and a few SNES games as well. I just made custom dust sleeves for my NES games and GB, GBC games, they take up less room on the shelf.
I would use old Ds cases for some GBA games, usally buying them in lots on eBay of unwanted titles.

I'm happy that people are making these and providing more options for storing loose older games but the price is what kills me.  If these can't stay under $1 each then I'm out.  $4 each for a Bit Box is laughable and never in a million years would I consider it.  I only have around 30 NES games.  There are many people here that have 20 times that.

i agree with you totally Slowman. If I have to pay $4 for the game and than $3 or $4 for the case to store it I might as well and try to get the original box. When I get the DS games lot i try to find them with free shipping and $1 a case so like $15 for 15 cases free shipping I would do.

thats why I also enjoy making the dust sleeves out of cardstock I can print at home

New topic from the other forum, here he explains details he's considering to make this cases, colors, dimensions,  etc. He is still waiting for some 3d but there some photos of how the will look out side but still working on the inside. Also some opinions of members like me that will like to have a clear sleeve for the cover an not a grainy one like UGC.  ;D

http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=17027.0

If you are not a member of that forum and want to be part of the design by making opinion on what you'll like on this case, just subscribe, but if you don't want to subscribe but still want to contribute on helping you can post here you opinion and I will gladly post it on TCP forum. With the note that the comments comes from members from rfgeneration  ;D

I hate clear sleeves since they scratch so easily, there's a reason why the UGC sleeves are textured.

I extended you comment, and I had never though on that for this cases, but is true, that happens in PS games box

Well here it is, the first 3D of the Nes case with dimensions, some changes that the owner has ask to the company that is making this cases and some feedback of people.
