+Starwander Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 They have finally arrived and are ready to ship out. They are like the others I have been making for customers here with heavy duty plastic and locking tabs on both ends to keep the flaps securely in place. All are available on my website for purchase. I have pictures of the Aquarius and Microvision game box protectors posted. Will post Odyssey 1 and RCA Studio 2 protector pictures later. The RCA Studio 2 protectors will fit both the regular and slightly larger regular box as well. Website to order from 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Given the thickness of the Aquarius box, does anyone know if it will fit the new Maria game with it's extra wide box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Aquarius games quite smaller than Intellivision games usually are? Thickness is one thing but height and width better match as well for a box protector to work. Exact dimensions probably would be required to determine what fits what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aquarius box is a total different format. It's about half the size of an Intellivision box. Edited March 6, 2020 by Intymike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+stupus Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I still havent come up with a protector that fits maria well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+the1hatman Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 This is the closest thing I have found so far and I have one on order so I will post pics and let you all know how well it fits and works... eBay Nintendo Game Boy Original Box Protector I figured the perfect Maria box protector would measure 8 x 6 x 2 inches. The Game Boy one measures 9 1/8 x 6 7/8 x 2 3/16 so that's pretty close. Again, we'll see once it gets delivered to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a box for Wii U Special Editions (European ones), this would fit almost perfectly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+stupus Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 As soon as i get some nice pics of the protectors i will be sharing these with various groups.

Just hadn’t had the time to do it yet. Maybe post in the main protector topic? I thought there were a lot more people saying they’d buy some.

I finally had the chance to try my Aquarius box protectors, and both the look and the fit are absolutely perfect. I certainly plan on ordering more, and I'll post some pictures in the next day or two. Perhaps listing them on eBay would help to make more collectors aware of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I found out about RetroProtection actually. And, sorry to Starwander but still haven’t gotten around to buying protectors. Haven’t been working due to Coronavirus, and any spare money has been going towards other stuff. I’ll buy 20 within the next few weeks though.
