free cases

Post by MigueLLLLL » Thu Mar 18, 2010 2:54 pm

I,m not sure if other people know this (i just learned it today) but the company is shipping free soft cases about the right dimension for the portable n64 or any other thing you are making: http://www.okwenclosures.com/products/okw/soft-case.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (just click free sample its on the side ) but well i found this better than making my case cause it's less work and did i mention free :P but if you want to make your own case that os fine but this is for noobs (like myself starting off)
(p.s im not sure if this is the right section to post it in if not the just move this topic :lol: )

I was just about to post this!
This is legit, this website that is, I just got 2 cases of my choice today!
The ones I chose have a 2AA battery holder included! It was free of charge, 100% free!

I saw them a while back but I didn't see any big enough for an N64 portable.

Which one are you talking about ?

I thought this exact same thing, though I bet you can fit a SNES clone in some of those...

oh and hailrazer what are the exact dimensions for the mother board i kind of lost my tape measure thing :? cause if this free case does not work out then i'm gonna get a sample from http://www.polycase.com/shop-by/size-ra ... large.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and in your opinion what would be better to use the AG, ZN, or SL series

OKW enclosures has been on every "free samples" list ever on this site. I've been getting stuff from them for years, and they're a great company.
