Turbo Plastic

[Sadler]

So. Does anyone have a Coryoon instruction manual they can scan so I can make one of these HuCase mini cases for it? Actually, I think I will start a project thread (or page) for this and chronicle covers for use with PCMCIAT2 cases.

Your mini cases look great! I can scan Coryoon art for you. Drop me a PM or there's a 110% chance I'll space it.

Awesome, thanks! I'll do just that.

Id be in on the bulk buy lol, those cases with the artwork look frigging awesome.
I would be a little worried about the quality of the plastic they are made from though.

The cases appear to be PCMCIA cases http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-10-Hard-Case-Holder-for-PCMCIA-Memory-Flash-cards-/221309096311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33870cd177

I've got one of these cases for my Everdrive. Never thought of adding art to them tho. Very cool.

LOLLLL I bought this exact item.

For cheap baseball card sleeves, wouldn't adding art to it also solve the problem?

[YANDMAN]

I use a hi quality CD storage case and it works perfectly, just make sure all your cards are in plastic sleeves to protect the teeth obviously. The cards sit perfectly at the bottom nice and snug and dont move, you can pick up a 100 storage case cheap and its about the size of a piece of a4 paper.

FWIW, I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TT3LG/

... I still don't know yet about what I'm gonna do with the HuCards that have nothing but the UPCs for the back case.

I think it would be great to at least "emulate" the experience of the early Japanese HuCARDs by including  the UPC on the back of the PCMCIA jewel case...

(1) I don't think there is a resource that documents these UPC stickers. If there is, share it!
(2) Your back insert should be solid gray + UPC sticker*.
(3) Real scan when available, simulated sticker otherwise (different companies had different style UPC's, you can alter some info on each UPC to make it unique for each game, like having the title of the game, and the price...purists be damned...the purists can scan the damn sticker if they are upset )
(4) Now, nobody is forcing you (us) to simply center the UPC sticker...it can be offset, you can zoom in and crop the top and bottom edges of circle sticker, etc. YOU can decide whether you want the "UPC layout" to be UNIFORM (UPC is always the same size and location) or to vary things...
(5) Look below, there is a "common layout" (size of sticker, four horizontal bars, etc. that has some variation in fonts, logos, sizes)

UPDATE: I was just looking at a photo on my phone and decided to post it, too, since I think you folks don't read and just look at pictures. YOU KNOW IT IS TRUE.

SPINE STICKER: I didn't talk about the spine sticker in the prior post, but it's worth mentioning, too.

I personally find the spine sticker aesthetic to be pretty standard (not nearly as captivating as the UPC), but it is fun to see the variations in color/font/logo across a few different companies.

DAMN! I can't believe that nobody appreciates the early PCE aesthetics!

The UPC stickers have a great design... they provide uniformity across all releases but with some flexibility to add subtle variations. I submit that the UPC design is quite contemporary. It would not seem out-of-place on a chic product sold in 2015. Suck my left one.

Wow i haven't visited this thread in a while but damn i'm impressed with the idea of making inserts for the pcmcia cases!

[xcrement5x]

What's funny about the back stickers, is that if I'm remembering right, the fan version of Magical Chase emulates the sticker look of the original print, even though it's in one of those CD cases with the special tray.

oooh that looks pretty!

I am working on a solution i think might work good! I could use some input too: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18949.0

Ha! The photo for the HuCARD tray didn't display on my phone.

I love that Huey tray. I think it is lots of fun
