Title: Card Clips
Post by: Jin Jian on October 20, 2011, 10:59:23 AM
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.

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.

the black porper have 2 option right one for normal deck one for E deck which one did you buy
Title: Re: Card Clips
Post by: VortexHead on October 21, 2011, 03:24:33 AM
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

Title: Re: Card Clips
Post by: sinsandman on October 23, 2011, 01:45:53 AM
@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

is the cognac one leather as well? It kind of looks like it is
Title: Re: Card Clips
Post by: John B. on October 23, 2011, 02:16:46 AM
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.

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.

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?

Title: Re: Card Clips

I haven't seen anyone sporting the red arcane clip. I know that I would not choose that if I did $375

Yea, it was my idea to put V6 in an arcane clip. I showed everyone that.
Title: Re: Card Clips
Post by: sinsandman on October 25, 2011, 03:35:14 PM
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.
Title: Re: Card Clips
Post by: Evan on October 25, 2011, 03:57:36 PM
I used the arcane proper, not the stainless steel one.

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.
Title: Re: Card Clips
Post by: John B. on June 05, 2012, 09:16:34 PM
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.

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.

http://conjuringcreations.com/?product=eco-card-clip (http://conjuringcreations.com/?product=eco-card-clip)

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.
