Title: WTB: "Thicker" than usual PCE CD Cases
Post by: MotherGunner on January 06, 2014, 10:53:53 AM: Hi all, looking to buy the thicker style PCE CD cases like the kind that come with Monster Maker, Arcade Card Pro, and others.

I need about 3 of them in good/nice condition.

Thanks!

For sure man, I for one am tired of the cheap-feeling cases. The biggest gripe about these are that they are thicker and don't always fit into CD slots but if you use bookshelves for your games, you're good to go!

Post by: Jibbajaba on January 09, 2014, 04:36:41 AM: Are these just made of thicker plastic like the jewel cases that these games came with in the first place, or is there some other difference? If they're just higher-quality cases, perhaps we should do a group buy or something?

Post by: Necromancer on January 09, 2014, 05:39:08 AM: It's the thickness of the complete case that's different. Normal jewel cases are 10mm thick, but those for a few titles are somewhat thicker (12mm thick according to MG's links). Who knows if these new ones have thicker walls like older cases or not, but I suspect they're thin if they're actually being manufactured new and not NOS.

Post by: MotherGunner on January 09, 2014, 06:41:15 AM: When I get these, I will compare it to my Arcade Card PrO case and post my findings here.

Post by: The Chief on January 15, 2014, 07:46:45 PM: I would use a good 5-10 of these 12mm cases myself. If a group buy happens count me in.
