What's In The Box
If you're the kind of player who alphabetizes their physical collection, we made this for you. Mimic Chest stores up to 36 cartridges across three pocket-sized cases that look like regular game boxes when shelved. Finally, a game case worthy of your game cases.
MASQUERADE ON YOUR SHELF
Hide In Plain Sight
The perfect disguise doesn't draw attention—it blends into its surroundings. Mimic Chest cases look exactly like standard game boxes when viewed on your shelf, maintaining the clean aesthetic of your physical collection while dramatically reducing the space needed. Line them up between your actual game cases and nobody will know the difference.
MAXIMUM CAPACITY, MINIMUM SPACE
Your Entire Party Lineup In Your Pocket
Each Mimic Chest set includes three separate cases, with each case holding 12 cartridges securely. That's 36 games total—roughly an entire shelf of standard game cases condensed into something you can slip into a jacket pocket or small bag compartment.
PRECISION ENGINEERING
Familiar Feel, Superior Security
The internal layout prevents cartridges from touching each other, eliminating the risk of scratches or damage during transport. Every detail is considered, from the finger notch that makes grabbing cartridges easy to the rigid outer shell that protects against crushing pressure in packed bags.
SEAMLESS SHELF INTEGRATION
Level Up Your Organization Game
Standard game cases take up massive shelf space while only holding one title each. Mimic Chest maintains the familiar spine width and height of official game cases, allowing them to blend perfectly into your existing collection while dramatically increasing your storage efficiency. Organize by genre, alphabetically, or by play frequency—whatever system works for your gaming style. The clean, uniform look brings satisfaction to the organization-minded collector while hiding a secret capacity that would make any RPG treasure chest jealous.

Express your creativity with downloadable templates that let you design and print custom spines and covers for your Mimic Chest cases. Create thematic collections, design custom art, or simply label them by genre or alphabetical range.

FAQ
Will these fit all Next Gen Console cartridges?
Yes! Mimic Chest is designed to fit all Next Gen Console cartridges as well as original console cartridges. The precision-engineered slots accommodate both formats perfectly.
How durable are the Mimic Chest cases?
Extremely durable. We've constructed them from high-impact plastic similar to official game cases, with reinforced hinges that withstand thousands of open/close cycles. The outer shell protects against crushing forces, while the snap-fit internal mechanism keeps games secure.
Can I really fit 12 games in each case? Isn't that tight?
t's not tight at all! We've engineered the interior layout to maximize space efficiency without compromising protection. Each cartridge has its own dedicated slot with proper clearance, preventing any contact between games. The compact design is possible because we've eliminated the wasted space found in standard cases.
How do the cases stay closed?
Each Mimic Chest features a secure closure mechanism that prevents accidental opening during transport, similar to official game cases. The closure is designed to withstand the rigors of travel while still being easy to open when you want to access your games.
What are the exact dimensions of each case?
Each Mimic Chest case measures precisely 170mm x 104mm x 13mm—identical to standard Next Gen Console game cases on the outside, ensuring perfect alignment on your shelf.
Can I store microSD cards or other small accessories?
Mimic Chest is specifically designed for game cartridges, with snap-fit slots shaped to secure them properly. While you technically could place small items like microSD cards in the cartridge slots, we don't recommend it as they wouldn't be secured by the snap-fit mechanism.
How do I create custom covers? Do I need special software?
We provide easily customizable templates in multiple formats, compatible with free software like Google Docs, Canva, or more advanced tools like Photoshop. Basic computer skills are all you need to create custom spines and covers for your collection.
Can I buy individual cases rather than the 3-pack?
Currently, Mimic Chest is only available as a 3-pack, which gives you storage for 36 total games. This configuration offers the best value for collectors while ensuring you have multiple organizational options.
Will these fit other handheld game cartridges?
Mimic Chest is specifically engineered for Next Gen Console and original console cartridges. Due to size differences, it won't accommodate cartridges from other systems. However, we're exploring additional Mimic Chest variants for other popular handhelds based on customer feedback.
How easy is it to identify which games are in which case?
That's where the custom templates shine! You can design spine labels that list the contents, create category designations, or even include tiny thumbnail images of the game covers. The clear sleeve on each case allows for detailed labeling to your exact specifications.
