Igor Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've found where to get slim fit standard sized lynx game box protectors and really love how good they make even old boxes look. I can't find any place that sells the "big box" protector sleeves. Does anyone know about these, if they even exist? Thanks in advance!

MortoffGames Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I can try to have some made as I am getting a quote on the Odyssey boxes right now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 I couldn't find any when I bought mine for the small boxes. I'd be interested in 1 as well for my blue lightning box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Mortoff that would be great, maybe others would be interested and there'll be enough for a group buy? At least sirlynxalot has expressed interest, should be a number of other people with these big box games on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapicco Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I think I used a 7800 or an nes protector for my big box game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 I wrote a blog post about the slim fit sleeves which includes where to get them - https://www.igorkromin.net/index.php/2017/08/12/protecting-old-atari-lynx-game-boxes-with-snug-fit-plastic-sleeves/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MortoffGames Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Did you find out about the big box sleeves? I am still awaiting a quote; hopefully will know soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I think I used a 7800 or an nes protector for my big box game. The 2600 box seems to be the closest size to the lynx big box, I might order a couple just to try out while waiting for MortoffGames to get a quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapicco Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 How well did they fit? It was a 7800/2600 protector. Fits fine. About a half centimeter extra width. But it's good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Cool, I ordered two 2600 box protectors so hopefully they arrive this week, I'll post a photo of how well the fitting is once I have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 So the box protectors arrived, they were advertised as "2600 7800 game case box protectors". The plastic on these is very thick compared to the usual slim fit protectors but I like that. The fit is perfect for the "Big Box" Lynx game... This is the eBay listing in case anyone else is interested in them... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-atari-2600-7800-game-case-box-protectors-4-thick-pet-plastic/142068845229 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
