Complete Case Design Mock Ups

We received some mock up pictures of some very cool complete replacement cases , from a team who wish to remain anonymous for the time being.

They are working on completing a top quality mould , then of course they will make the neccessary tweaks and amendments.

This will be a FULL replacement case NOT just a lid, utilizing only the best quality injection mold techniques.

Talk about it right here , it sounds very promising

It looks like it will be hard to get the disc out, as it looks like there is no room for your fingers

nice case, but my concern comes on how easy will it be to slide your fingers in there to take the disc out, seems pretty tight if you ask me.

and how trustworthy is a company that can't spell "RESET" correctly, PESET any1? :P

orre knows what i'm talking about, i'm not that much of an idiot, i'm not talking about popping the disc, but removing it, not every1 has tiny chinese fingers

thats what the pushbutton on the spindle is for

How are you going to get the disc out of the lid?
Looks kinda tight...

That just gets it off the spindle, that doesn't make more room to get your fingers around the disc to get it out

I think that the two cases

have the same spaces to put your fingers.
So if second was ok tihs one is ok too.

not exactly if you look at the second they made a lil edge thing so you can put your finger on the side of the disc.

Yeah, the first picture(new case), doesn't have those indents, or grooves so that you can get your hands on the sides of the disc.

Hehe, peset is the **** :P

i really like it, except for the way the powerbutton is done. it seems to be cut out a bit lower then it is on the retail case.
any particular reason for that?

Remember it is just a mock up for now - things will change/improve I'm sure!

i 'always' use the press button to eject my discs.... it's such a cool little... device.. either way, it's safer than pulling up on the disc and bending it from the side

anyways, i object to these full case mods...
1) the laser can't reach that far anyways, no point in using full sized dvds
2) greater chance of propeller effect since u have more (wasted) 'media' disc, further from the center of the disc, that could be unleveled, causing propeller effect
3) eliminates the cool looking LED (especially if you modded the LED to another colour)
4) costs money when u can simply just buy minis, or cut full sized dvd's into mini sized with sheers

ok, so u may disagree with a lot of my points, but u can't argue the fact that it takes away the LED... if someone makes a full sized case that incorporates the LED, i may consider it... (and it will outsell all other full case mods/moulds) because the LED is a very defining feature of the gamecube

Didnt noctice that the led disappeared when I first looked at the pics and I think that sucks. But as it was said its only a mock up and the company wants to hide their name for now so I guess there will be more enhancements in their next version.

Deepblade, u are supposed to push the press button, but i mean once you do, you have no way of grabbing the disc on the side so you can take it out, but again as Zeus stated it's a WIP, so i'm sure they'll fix that w/ nudges like the other case,

as for your points:

1) ppl use full DVD-R's not because of capacity, but compatibility and price

2)there shouldn't be a propeller effect if it's good media, as discs are tested for that purpose.

3)the Led mod is easy to fix, do it yourself

4) the money for the case (say 30$ CDN) is aobut the price of one stack of 10 mini's, then u'll actually be saving cause full's are cheaper, start saving.

one point you could've made though, MINI's are Sexxxayyy :P, but then again, you can still use mini's if you wish, but you also got hte option of a full, if you so wish to use them also.

Thx for your attention, back to work everyone
