This was a project to create NEW COVER SLEEVES for MODERN CASES.

You can create this on your own, very inexpensively. Someone will post a link to thread/website.

Of course, I don't think folks actually created cover slips for the entire TG-16 HuCARD library (but I may be wrong).

Yeah, this was for folks who had loose HuCARDs or very worn/damaged jewel boxes.

I think it is a neat project.

I have many loose games, but I have never bothered to find a nice home from loose HuCARDs (they currently sit in coffee mugs).

they are gift card cases that as far as i know are only sold by hastings. phase made a bunch of dvd sized art that can be scaled down to fit the cases (they are about 1/3 the size of a normal dvd case)

Been here since 2006 and XtraN is still getting called a n00b.

I actually told MotherGunner about these cases and he posted before me. We actually work together. LOL. I'd love to contribute more, but really just so busy I usually find all the information I need from such great posts that I rarely need to comment. I hope to post some pictures once I get some covers printed for them.

Does anyone know if Hastings even carries these anymore in their retail stores? I've read as recent as 2013 some people drove to get some. I can't seem to even find an online shop selling the exact same clear ones with a mini DVD insert. So I bet these things are extinct.

P.S. Speaking of n00b.
The name XtraN stands for Xtra Noob. Back in the day I sucked so bad at Counter Strike I came up with that alias as a reminder I was a noob and to worry about it. It may have been Xtra-N back then. Not sure.
