Hey guys, I really need a cube container, my cube is worth 10k and still in a shoebox lol.
Ultra pro's looks nice aesthetically but seems shoddily made/overpriced.
Basic clear holders don't quite seem cool enough.
I found the Cube Vault, but I don't like the logo and they aren't immediately purchasable. What options are out there?
The new Cube Vaults should be out next month. Called the owner last week and he said they are almost done with their prototypes. I would just wait to be honest.
I talked to him at GP: Oakland briefly and he did mention something about the new prototypes. How are are they different? Hopefully a smaller sized one that's a little cheaper?

I don't really want to speak for him but what I gathered his goals were to remove the felt, make it around the $100 mark and slightly smaller. The lip of the box is also supposed to be similar to a shoebox, so it climbs over the top and runs flush with the bottom if that makes any sense. There are also going less options for customizing. These will be overall simpler and easier to produce. I would imagine that you could go to a local engraving shop and get any design burned into the front.

Ah I see. More simple + no felt with a pricepoint of $100 still seems crazy high. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
@Sparki I haven't seen one in person but from what I've heard the metal is top notch quality. Usman made a hole in his wall from it lol. I think it'll be worth it, we'll just have to see I guess. Apparently, the felt would start to rub off on the sleeves after a while and was done by hand which took too long.
How often do you guys resleeve your cubes? I don't think my sleeves have been drafted/played more than 10 times or so, and they are already disgusting. I try to tell people to wash their hands and make sure their playing surface is clean, but it doesn't seem to really help.
The first couple times we sleeved it we used older sleeves (original red Ultra Pros from the 90s because I just had a bunch!) and some random brand that came in gun metal gray because they were cheap. Those two times together lasted about four years. We then sleeved it up in KMC black mattes in 2011 and I literally just ordered new KMC black hyper mattes this week to resleeve sometime soon. So I'd say you probably could resleeve about every four years or so if you have good sleeves. Honestly the KMC mattes that we have now would probably last another couple years, but we wanted to double sleeve due to some upgrades we've made these past few years and thought we might as well put new outer sleeves on.
What type of sleeves are you using? The KMC mattes have been great. They don't split easily at all. I will say that, when they do split, I've found that they split along the bottom rather than at the top corners. I'd also highly recommend a darker matte sleeve because they aren't as bad to show dirt.
I use black KMC hyper mattes. I don't have a problem with the sleeves breaking, but they accumulate dirt/grime faster than I would like. Maybe I will have to start enforcing a strict bring-your-own-playmat policy.
Oh, yeah. We use playmats all the time. We just keep eight of some playmats that my crew had extras of or didn't want and bring them out when we cube. I actually would like to start picking up more 'pimp' playmats (at least in my opinion) because this is cube and it feels natural that if we're playing with the best cards, we should have the coolest playmats.
Hey guys... Trying to figure out what sleeves I bought. I swore they were KMC, but mine are sleek and glossy, and all the KMC's I see online are hyper matte's with the rough back. Any ideas?

Those are KMC super series. They're glossy backed, and get sticky from what I've had.
I've loved them thus far. My cubes been in them awhile and seen a lot of play. The matte ones I have and get really dirty and gross. to each their own I suppose.
Mmmmm I love me some drawers that I can bring around. But it's no Doraemon bag. I think it looks too flimsy for my tastes. Gotta wait for the Professor's verdict though. I like that he really puts stuff to the tests/limits.
I like those Hareruya sleeves, but I don't like that you can only get them in the one style. I think they're nice for a deck, but I wouldn't want to sleeve my entire cube in them. I prefer solid colors for my cube.

I can understand that. I'm still waiting on ordering an entire case. Can't decide where I stand.
As time passes I'm still somewhat curious about the piratelabs large cases. Being able to hold a playmat AND a binder is a huge plus to me. They apparently got a great shoutout from TCC, so they're sold out of the 3 row tray right now, but I might give it a shot.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on them when you have playtested with them .

Hey sorry about that! I completely forgot to post the pic. I'll get it up by tomorrow.
I thought they were very very very nice. I used them last year at GP Seattle and like them very much. Would definietly recommend these or Hyper Mattes. They are both manufactured by KMC.

Most cases sized for Cards Against Humanity cards don't, unfortunately.

Obviously you just have to use only perfect fits.

I do think quiver and pirate lab have the best commercial product. They are a little pricey though.

Holds 1200 double sleeved cards, it says. Not sure if this is really better than a pirate labs or something, either.
