Bryan1315, I took a look at Coin World slabs, it turns out they are advertised in the bottom of the forum, thanks. They seem to be the closest match to the PCGS box, although the part inside the slab that actually holds the coin has to be ordered to size.
and
IbGolden, I would appreciate it if you could find Image Guard. All my searches by seller name, username email and product search on ebay pull a blank.

Not trying to do my own grading, just trying to get organized. I like the compaction of coins the box provides.

There's probably no demand, but I could use slabs with boards inside that are universal and can be easily cut to fit. I can also see a gold and silver bar similar application the same way.

Some time ago someone came out with something called VHS tapes. Then there was Beta. Then stores poped up everywhere selling and renting them. Then grocery, hardware, general stores and the internet started selling them. All I'm trying to say is with the coin market so big, people everywhere are popping up with stuff dealing with coins. Even the US Mint has gone nutty producing every possible coin possible.
If you look up in Google the words coin grading companies, you would find there are probably over 100 of them and the amount is growing. And some are noted as a guy in his basement doing this. Eventually, just like VHS tapes, coin slabbing will be as common as Hot Wheel cars at Walmart. Actually, I suspect Walmart WILL be grading coins soon and/or selling stuff so everyone can grade coins.

I wish I'd taken a screen shot of the Craigslist offer now. Sorry. If you're really enterprising, try doing a search on various Craigslist sites for "coin holders" or some other likely key words. I would guess that on some of the smaller sites not many people would be likely to flag these postings.

Update: didn't take long: http://ksu.craigslist.org/clt/1206687625.html. I didn't flag this one, so it probably will stay up for awhile.

Whoa, Rollhunter's and pls's links have the exact same wording, but with a different location.

I just emailed him/her and asked what chemicals they are made of and if they had a universal application.

Price might be to high. They seem to imply $3.
