Ultra Pro Carrying Case



I have had this little bugger for two months and I must say that I think it is very convinient for carrying my card decks around. I saw it in a window at my local card shop and I had to have it, so I bought it. Before, I was using those white cardboard boxes and lugging them around with me. My World of Warcraft TCG collection has expanded to 6000+ cards, and the "pizza" size box I have to store them weighs around 26 pounds. So How can you lug around such a monsterous collection? I don't, but I do carry around my decks.





The carrying case has foam inserts inside it. The foam is somewhat sturdy but could have been made sturdier- my foam is beginning to rip slightly in two places. As a college kid in rural Pennsylvania, this thing, like my backpack is going to be subject to wear and tear torture- I am putting it on the ground, on tables, over my back, in a car, etc and so far it has withstood some ok wear- but I expected something more heavy duty. Regardless, I am able to pocket rare cards, a manual or two, papers, and especially dice and damage counters (besides slots for my decks). If you are not going to abuse this thing I would wholeheartedly recommend it. I am still going to use mine, but be forwarned- it will take a beating if you are like me. I am experimenting with guerilla gluing (guerilla glue is an epoxy) the tears back together- making that location even stronger.
