Its a AG-85 and I wanted just a bit bigger so I can fit my controller and controller 2 port, plus a nice design in the back... Thats just a demo, Im looking to add that pic to mario with the toll box you usualy find in the back of a snes system. So tell me what you guys think.


PS. For the start and select button I dont know the dimmention so im sending them my case so they can replicate it.

It looks great!
Time for suggestions:
I suggest just having your name on the mario thing on the back.
Secondly, the start and select buttons are smaller than those in the pic.
And lastly, You don't need to make it bigger for a second controller port.

yep yep... I might do just my name....

BTW. Im making it bigger cuz I cant fit my screen and board with my snes controller without having to chop my screen more ( i dont want to do that), plus I just drew a random size for the selelect button for now, but they are taking a look on the original snes select button so that they can cut it to size so they can replicate it

Are you putting your controller between the LCD and the actual PSone screen circuit?

That looks pretty good. Although I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere in these forums that if you ask polycase to cut holes for you it adds a LOT of money to the price. But if I'm wrong then be sure to correct me because I'm terrible at cutting out button holes...

p.s. why did you give them measurements in both English and Metric?

It's a minimum of $200 for a custom cut case single order.

Myself and several others have checked with polycase .... and someone on another site had one made and paid that amount.
