flashjazzcat Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Pending a more in-depth review: I was somehow expecting the cover to be flush with the desk, but the fact it's not isn't a major issue (and I can see that making the cover shallower aids manufacture, packaging, etc). Quality is excellent, with no blemishes on my cover, and I can only echo the above remarks on the box, the packaging and presentation being the stand-out elements here. This has to be the first time in over twenty-five years that I received a new Atari item in such splendid packaging. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddie Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Only very few pieces from first batch of XE covers left. Running of 2nd batch depends on numbers of people interested in buying it. At least 30 persons required for starting production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari74user Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Late to this post, I have a couple of old dust covers for the ST, but these are looking good! I have been recently going dust cover mad for various gear. I thought of this idea for old computers in light of those Decksaver guys, happy you are making this reality! Looking forward to the ST covers, one question, I assume ports will be left fee and accessible for the ST/Falcon covers to save keep re-connecting peripherals?

Duddie Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Yes, all dust covers are designed to not blind any connector sockets. Therefore, it is possible to use a computer without removing a cover, however - it is not recommended due to poorer air circulation what can lead to overheating.

Justin Payne Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Whoa. Never seen these before. More expensive than an XE cost now. $30 for an XE? I must be looking at the wrong places to buy those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've just purchased 3 anti dust covers for my computers and I must say that I'm happy from them. Well packaged, the quality of the material used for productions is very nice in touch and most important thing to me, that the covers are really cleanly transparentable. I used till this time different cover from other company which got wasted after some time (it's broken, even small parts of plastic are gone now). These ones from Retronics looks solid. I've prepared small article about these covers to support this company. Sorry, it's in Polish language, but you can translate it or just look at the pictures. There are also pictures of Atari 800 XE covered by one of dust covers. So, enjoy and thanx to Duddie for good stuff! http://www.riversedge.pl/strefa-8-bit-i-scena-c64/ciekawostki/715-poznaj-nowe-pokrywy-do-komputerow-commodore-64-amiga-1200-i-atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddie Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I am considering production of 800XL and 600XL covers now. However, interest in currently available models (Atari STFM/STE/Falcon and Atari XE) is below my expectations. Therefore, I would like to ask you for purchase declarations of one of mentioned models. Who would be interested in 800XL or 600XL model dust covers? Price should be similar or slightly higher than XE cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I would buy one 800XL cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'd buy a 600XL cover. Clearly there seems to be most demand in Switzerland :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddie Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Yeah, it seems that Switzerland is the best market for that . For now, I have 8 people including me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 How many do you need to make them? I'm guessing a few hundred more than 8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duddie Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 50 is requred to keep the price at current level and to balance production costs to zero.... To make any profit - more is needed. But if I collect at least 30 persons, I will produce them. The rest can be sold on eBay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
