I have tested paper,&nbsp; plastic, aluminum, shipping cases&nbsp; like those used for sound equipment, and even&nbsp; wood and leather. While&nbsp; some made a great case, either the materials didn’t&nbsp; make the cut or the&nbsp; cost was prohibitive. 



It turns out that the best case I&nbsp; have found for&nbsp; all around functionality, appearance, and affordability is a corrugated&nbsp;&nbsp; cardboard box with a tuck flap lid and a plastic carrying handle. We&nbsp; can get&nbsp; these cut to our exact specifications, and printed in full&nbsp; color. &nbsp;&nbsp; 

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; With internal dimensions of &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 11.25 x 11.25 x 2.5&nbsp; the case will fit up to 16 Battlegraph Boards&nbsp; including the thin foam&nbsp; sheets that will separate each board and protect the dry&nbsp; erase surface.&nbsp; We recommend you keep these sheets to store your boards with&nbsp; between&nbsp; uses. 

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It also turns out that the average gaming hardcover will fit&nbsp;&nbsp; the inside dimension of the case. This makes the carrying case many&nbsp; times more useful! &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 


This is not just great for your game&nbsp; master, but for players as well. Build your own GM or player kit! &nbsp;&nbsp; 



Your&nbsp;&nbsp; average gaming tome fits perfectly to one side with room aplenty for&nbsp; character&nbsp; sheets, magazines, note paper, a couple of cubes of dice,&nbsp; pencils, and a hand&nbsp; full of miniatures! All this can be neatly stored in a&nbsp; beautiful full color carrying&nbsp; case you helped design and listing your&nbsp; name to prove it! It makes an&nbsp; interesting conversation starter for&nbsp; while you wait for the game to begin. &nbsp;&nbsp; 


&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; So while we started off&nbsp; looking for a good box for our Battlegraph&nbsp; Boards, we ended up creating&nbsp; an amazing carrying case that can be used by any&nbsp; gamer in many ways.

&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Now that we have found a&nbsp; winner, we are ready to move forward&nbsp; and put these bad boys to work. It&nbsp; turns out that it’s a pretty costly process&nbsp; to get rolling. While we&nbsp; have certainly grown in the past year, we are still&nbsp; one of the little&nbsp; guys in the industry. 



So we are going to borrow an idea that&nbsp; others&nbsp; have experienced success with and do a &nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.battlegraph.com/patron_project.html" target="_blank">patronage startup model</a>. 


&nbsp;&nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This creates what we like to&nbsp; call a win-win scenario. We benefit&nbsp; from the upfront support from the&nbsp; gaming community to get the project rolling,&nbsp; and the gaming community&nbsp; gets a great experience to go with a great product,&nbsp; and bragging rights&nbsp; to boot.
