There are alot of card clips out there but is it really useful ? and one card clip cost around $30 plus
-
Yes yes and more yes! I thought the same thing you did but once I actually got a Porper clip I was glad I did. It has paid for itself, protecting and repairing decks
-
I got some cardclip made in china. It was about $7 but not beautiful as proper.
But all I want is something to protect my deck.
-
You can build a card press for less than a dollar with 2 bits of wood/plastic and 4 nuts and bolts... I dunno, I agree that card clips are useful but I seriously think they're very overpriced.

Not a card clip like that. This is thin but strong piece of metal.
-
Overpriced? Possibly...worth it? Definitely!
-
Porper clips all the way!!!!! They're the best card clips you can get. Yes, they're a bit pricey but its completely worth it.
-
i purchased one of the D&d porper clips and it JACKS up the box of the cards, but it will get any kind of crimp or bend out of any card.
im thinking about getting one of the "M" frame porper clips as well.

It does exactly the same thing. I got a 'thin but strong' metal bottle opener free with a 6-pack, there's no reason for them to be so expensive.

My black Porper from E doesn't damage my decks at all.
-
My arcane proper from E doesn't damage the deck but it does damage the box.
-
I have heard those do scratch but if you sandpaper them down they are fine
-
ok thanks for all of your info it does really give me a reason to buy a joe porper clip
-

the black porper have 2 option right one for normal deck one for E deck which one did you buy
-
I have 3 official porpers, one original joe porper, one dnd 1st ed porper and another of these I got free from a DnD lecture a few years ago, they were just giving them away so why not hey. My main problem is the scratching up of the box and it happens for all my decks, maybe if you got one from 'E' then they would be better for keeping the box in good shape as sinsandman has said. If you don't want one of those what I do is put the deck/cards I want to go into the porper into an old tuck case thats already beat up and then leave them in the porper for a while until it does it's magic. That way you get to fix your cards and you wont scratch up your nice tuck boxes.

@Haw, I got the E size clip and it is awesome. @Head, that is an excellent idea for repairs only, if you're not taking them to perform. Would look odd pulling some BG from a riderback box lol

the E size clip right if you put normal deck in it will it be too big and has alot of space left?
-

That because E's deck usually thicker than others.
-
I actually have a riderback in my E clip right now. It is just fine...just a minuscule too big but it is not noticeable at all
-

ya i know i just wanted to know if i put normal deck in E card clips will it be too big
sinsandman-thank for the info when the new E deck come out i will buy them with the clips thank
-
Most definitely! I do not leave my house with a deck unless it is in a clip...just not worth the risk

wait does any clip matter?? because i went to elluistionist web.. they have a stainless steel card clip which cost only 14 dollar plus ?? and one porper card clips which cost 30 dollar..
-

-

sorry i cant really say out my thought.. currently i dun even have a single card clip!!!
-
@Hitler, I haven't had experience with the D&D clips...I bet that $100 one is bangin though.
@Haw, The ss ones have a bad rep for scratching the tuck box...be sure to sand the edges if you go that route

the one i was thinking of was the cognac but i want to make sure these are better then the others before i pay that much for anything.
-
I am diggin the black leather!
-
yea i liked the one cause i am a fan of orange, so i dont know guess i will have to find someone who has one.
-
is the cognac one leather as well? It kind of looks like it is
-
this was on the page.
Leather Edition: Inspired by our love for vintage craftsmanship and industrial design, the Leather Ed. clip is tailored for anyone wishing to unholster their deck with style and profundity.
Cognac: Hand-wrapped with imported vegetable-tanned leather from one of the finest suppliers in the world. The Classic Clip, Leather Ed. is a posh accessory for the playing card aficionado. Due to the nature and quality of the leather, the coloring and texture will change over time depending on how often it's handled. Therefore, each Cognac clip will be unique.
Black: Made from the same Italian leather used on the Victorian Close-Up Pads makes this the perfect companion to something you might already own
so yes it is.
-
I guess I could have looked a little closer huh? I feel like a schmuck now
-
Yes it does help if you looked before you ask a question. Though it does help me out. You gave me a reason to post 2 post (that one and this one) and I am not doing anything else so I do not mine helping you out.
-
Are card clips worth it? I mean I could buy 4 other decks with that money....
-

ya exactly but if it is for a expensive deck i think it is worth it
-
Oh right sweet...KK
-
Oh right sweet...KK
huh ?? what do you mean ??
-
Stop spamming, Haw. And yes, the clip is worth it...think of it this way, would you rather have to keep rebuying decks because they get damaged or the cards warp? Or would you rather invest $30 into some protection and a tool to repair warping?

ya i know i am so going to buy a joe porper card clip when the E new deck are out.. does anyone have the red arance joe porper card clip which you can get when you spent $375
-
I haven't seen anyone sporting the red arcane clip. I know that I would not choose that if I did $375

I saw it, someone put red smoke mirror inside and it's perfect match.

Yea, it was my idea to put V6 in an arcane clip. I showed everyone that.
-
I do recall seeing you out the V6 into an Arcane clip, but wasn't it a stainless clip? You should post the pic back up on these forums. Has anyone taken a Porper and carved out a design themselves? I bet that would look pretty cool but you would have to sand it down.
-
I used the arcane proper, not the stainless steel one.
-
Porper clips all the way!!!!! They're the best card clips you can get
-
The M shaped Porper clip never scratches my boxes and I use it all the time
-
i bought 4 porper 3 arcane porper and 1 normal one :D so excited
-
so question, for those of you who multiply card clips is there one that is great/the best for protection? i always a deck on me and in the last 3 days have demolished the boxes of 3 decks.

Porpers are known for messing up the box and a lot of times, destroying it.
My stainless steel clip doesnt do much damage.
My eco clip doesnt damage the box at all.
-
does the eco clip protect it from outside damage? i always have a deck in my pocket and while at work it hits cars ( when i load stuff) and the registers etc a lot.

Yes, it protects very well from outside damage.
-

I saw that a while back ago. It shoes how protective the clips are. Too bad they don't have leather inside. I would love to see a clip like that, not only very protective, but also not damaging the box.
-
yea if it was better on the inside i could really use that one. The Eco seems good but cant find one.

Yeah, Evan - that link does nothing useful. Any attempt to put a clip in the cart fails. What's the holdup with Conjuring Creations getting in plain Eco Clips?
BTW, John - I have two of the "prototype" clips, one unfinished, one varnished. They work excellently at protecting the cards and the box they come in. I can toss them into a jacket pocket without a second thought. The side walls extend just enough past the edge of the deck to provide a little "shielding" to the outer side, top and bottom of the box. I carry at least two decks anywhere I go - typically I have a USPC Guardians and a Bicycle Split Spades stripper - and they are perfectly fine inside my clips.
They are a bit bulkier than typical metal clips, including the Porper, but they weigh less - the difference is noticeable.

Hey guys, right now Conjuring Creations is working hard on making sure the Tendril Eco Clips finish production and make it out the door. We are also awaiting the end of “The Grid’s” Kickstarter campaign. I know the demand is rising for the clips but we’re just not in the position to produce and in house stock yet. We’re a very young company and we have high hope but for now we’re still taking our baby steps.
Thanks

Thanks, and I am glad you are having success. My first impression on these was mediocre but as I see and hear more about them I am getting the idea. I plan on being a customer once you have things in place.
