Those look great! Do you have a supplier for the covers? If so can you share?  ;D

I asked on another thread but never got an answer?  Do you have to use a special jig with those thanks Bill

These are just aluminum inserts that you sublimate then peel double-stick tape from cases and stick em on.  Conde sells them.

The ones that you need an aluminum jig for pressing and a cooling box so they don't warp when cooling are pretty ridiculous, they are around $9 each blank!  I haven't found out exactly how much the jig is, but I'm sure it isn't cheap.  I'm pretty sure that you cant do those with a clamshell press also, only a swing-away.
