No one seems to know about these, but they are by far my favorite EDH boxes. They're clear, so it's easy to spot different decks if you put the general facing out. I get them at my LGS for about three dollars.
Ultra Pro Acrylic Gaming Deck Box
Edit: Ultra Pro Plastic Card Box is pretty much the same thing. I call it Darksteel Plastic because the things will not break.
Yes, definitely. If you go 150 you can fit triple sleeved.
Re: 80 ct vs. 100 ct for KMC and Dragonshield it's really not a big deal unless you really need to have every deck in different sleeves. I've pretty much got anything I play double-sleeved in KMC super-silver and it's been great.
As was mentioned very briefly before, Troll and Toad has a series of cheap boxes that fit single-sleeved EDH decks perfectly. The brand is Cardway, and they are solid-color plastic that feels just a tiny bit sturdier than the Ultra-pro solid-color boxes. Four different colors at 75 cents per box. They won't fit your general in a toploader, so that either goes outside or without the precious hard-plastic armor. I used to get these when they did random deckboxes for outrageously low prices. You can still do this (though you're only saving 6 cents,) and I assume you're still pretty much guaranteed getting one of these. They aren't very nice to look at, though, so definitely function over form with this product.
Personally I use fatpacks for 3 decks as mentioned over and over here. I have to give my vote to taking out the silly cardboard strip on the inside - if you use toploaders for your generals, they will serve as enough spacing to keep the top from sliding down too far. I find my lipless fatpack boxes to only slide about 3mm lower than keeping it in.
As a third option, my roommate uses the side-loading art deckboxes from UltraPro, which surprisingly fits a full 100-card deck in single UltraPro sleeves. Once again, though, it's a snug fit, so your tokens will have to go somewhere else.

Found this on one page. It seems to be a box that is tailored to accomodate 100 sleeved cards and some 25+ oversized cards. Plastic, with Velcro-closing.
Looks cool. A little bulky but if you're going to screw around with oversized generals, this seems like the best and safest way to do it. They go on sale the same day as the precons- June 17. T+T and Coolstuff have them available for preorder if you just can't wait till then.

Sorry SuperSonik, I beat ya to the punch on those just one page before this. Also its already in the OP near the bottom of the deckbox list.
Do we have any idea how to obtain them though? Will they have one for each of the commander decks that will be released or will they be sold seperately?

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Is anyone actually going to use the oversized general after the first week? I feel like the whole concept of an oversized general is just stupid. You have to have the regular general anyway, those deckboxes look like a huge pain to carry, and anyone who has the regular general will have the oversized general, so it's not like you're "showing off the wealth". Not to mention, it probably draws hate for being psychologically threatening or something
those deckboxes might be useful for ARC or planechase, though. Although, in fairness, I should point out that planechase sucks.

Judging from the physical limitation of this box not fitting inside the other box and the fact that you can already preorder it separately, I'd go with the latter.

I've seen them, but they were $15 so I passed. didn't look that special, it's all just cardboard crap. Went with the $0.65 white cardboard box instead.

I got one of them. It's pretty solid. It has built in dividers for the different decks. Plus it comes with sleeves, although I will grant they're not the greatest. Durable, but they shuffle poorly.
I have two of them (a white and a black) and they are great. The only downside is double-sleeved decks don't fit in a single compartment.
The boxes aren't regular cardboard like the white boxes. They are made of a glossier stock that seems a bit more durable. I've had both banging around in my backpack for the past month and they still look great.
The dice and tokens it comes with are nice and get used all the time. The sleeves are not the best at shuffling, but they look really cool.
They look nice though. I just don't think I'll ever use the oversized cards.
I have already pre-traded away the oversized Generals in my preordered decks, so I know I won't use them for that, but would they fit Planechase and Archenemy cards? If so, I will grab 5 to store all those.
It almost looks like chinese take-out. I guess with it holding your deck at a slant it will make it a little easier to pull out?
I thought the opposite. Seems like you would have to turn it upside down. It's a cool looking box, but I'm not convinced I'll get one yet. Let my friends waste their money first

Ultra Pro Acrylic Gaming Deck Box
Edit: Ultra Pro Plastic Card Box is pretty much the same thing. I call it Darksteel Plastic because the things will not break.
We actually sell those 2 piece Ultra Pro boxes at the flgs where I work for $1.00. The problem with them is that they can't hold sleeved cards. I own a few of them myself for storing heroclix character cards and I did in fact break one of them by dropping it on a carpet covered floor.

Actually the ones we're talking about can hold sleeved cards and usually cost $2 to $4 depending where you get one. If you're talking about the exact same product maybe yours are $1 because they're defectively made and could be the reason why you can't hold sleeved cards in them. Also might explain how it broke so easily.
You simply take the sleeved general out of the top-loader and shuffle it in or put it on the bottom of your library. Whatever the card effect says. Of course you need to remember to get the general out at the end of the match unless you get him/her/it back from your deck before the game is over.
The top-loader just helps to prevent people from accidentally shuffling their general into their deck after a match.

While the cards won't fit if you place them with card face towards the side of the box...if you put the cards facing the top or bottom it all works great.
They're also sold for around $3 where I am as well.
I've found that Dragon Shield sleeves, are the most durable. Yeah after a while it can be difficult to shuffle, small pice to pay since they last forever. As a Bonus you always get more than the 100 sleeves. The least I've gotten was 103.
I'm a fan of the long cardboard boxes. I used to use 5-6 Ion Magnetic deck boxes, but they took up way too much room in my book bag, I transfered them all to a long cardboard box and haven't regretted it. Less room, have a place to put all my random extra tokens.
As for sleeves, Japanese Ultra Pro, you have to wear them in a little bit, but after that they're amazing.
Yes, definitely. If you go 150 you can fit triple sleeved.

What happens when someone tucks your general with oblation/hallowed burial/condemnetc?

If you're talking about the exact same product maybe yours are $1 because they're defectively made and could be the reason why you can't hold sleeved cards in them.

You simply take the sleeved general out of the top-loader and shuffle it in or put it on the bottom of your library. Whatever the card effect says. Of course you need to remember to get the general out at the end of the match unless you get him/her/it back from your deck before the game is over.
The top-loader just helps to prevent people from accidentally shuffling their general into their deck after a match.

That's why I was some sort of toploader, so I can put the normally-sleeved card inside of it, and take it out of the toploader if it gets tucked.
So basically I just want a slimmer, shorter toploader.

I've been meaning to talk about these World of Warcraft Limited Edition stackable tins which I have one featured in the OP picture of deck boxes.
I'll try to post more on them when I get home from work.
As for sleeves, Japanese Ultra Pro, you have to wear them in a little bit, but after that they're amazing.
