Updated 13 November 2026 · Storage and protection
A crushed booster box corner or a scuffed slab can't be undone. This guide matches every common Pokémon TCG item to the right case, with the exact specs of our MADGuard range so you can buy the right fit first time.
Cards and sealed product are only as good as their condition. Sunlight fades boxes, loose cases let products shift, and a dropped binder can ding a corner. The answer is a case that fits the item precisely and holds it securely. Below you'll find each MADGuard product with the specs from its live listing.
What makes a storage case actually good?
- A precise fit. Too loose and the product shifts and dents. Too tight and it scuffs going in and out. Check the internal dimensions against your item.
- A secure closure. A strong magnetic lid stays shut on the shelf and when you move it.
- UV resistance. Sunlight fades box art and card colours over time.
- Stackability. Collections grow. Cases that stack cleanly save space and stay stable.
Sealed booster boxes
MADGuard Booster Box Acrylic CaseFits WOTC and modern booster boxes
MADGuard Japanese Standard Booster Box Case141 × 137 × 37mm internal
MADGuard Japanese Special Booster Box Case73 × 140 × 42mm internal
The Booster Box Acrylic Case is designed to fit WOTC-era and modern English Pokémon TCG booster boxes. It's made from 8mm cast acrylic with an N55 neodymium magnetic lid, rounded edges, 99.5% UV protection, a stackable design with non-slip rubber feet, and a fleece cleaning cloth. No assembly needed. Internal dimensions: 139mm (W) × 125mm (H) × 78.5mm (D).
Japanese boxes are a different size, so they have their own cases with the same 8mm acrylic, N55 lid and 99.5% UV protection. The Japanese Standard case fits standard Japanese booster boxes, and the Japanese Special case fits special-set boxes such as the Shiny V and Tag All Stars series. More options are in booster box acrylic cases.
Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Bundles

Booster Bundle Case: TallAscended Heroes onwards
Booster Bundle Case: ShortOlder bundles, Build & Battle Boxes
The Elite Trainer Box Acrylic Case fits all modern Pokémon Elite Trainer Boxes. It has the same 8mm cast acrylic, N55 magnetic lid, 99.5% UV protection and stackable design. Internal dimensions: 192mm (W) × 168mm (H) × 92mm (D).
Booster Bundles changed shape, so pick the right height:
- Tall (77 × 123 × 54mm internal) suits the latest Booster Bundles from Ascended Heroes onwards, including current Mega Evolution sets. Older bundles and Build & Battle Boxes also fit, with a larger gap at the top.
- Short (77 × 111 × 54mm internal) suits Build & Battle Boxes and older bundles. It does not suit Booster Bundles from Ascended Heroes onwards.
Booster pack displays
Our booster pack display cases come in single, 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x sizes. Each uses three-layer acrylic, 10mm thick in total, with rounded edges and 99.5% UV protection. They stand on a shelf or mount on a wall with the included accessories. They fit standard Pokémon TCG booster packs, but not long foil packs.
Graded slabs

For handling and display, MADGuard TPU Bumper Guards combine flexible, impact-absorbing TPU edges with a clear acrylic back plate. They snap onto standard-thickness slabs and keep a slim, stackable profile. Choose the version that matches your slab: PSA, CGC (such as CGC Scarlet Ember) or BGS (such as BGS Scarlet Ember). There's a wide range of colourways.

Storage mistakes to avoid
- Wrong-size cases. Extra space lets the product slide and dent. Check the internal dimensions first.
- Sunny shelves. Even with UV-resistant acrylic, store cases out of direct sunlight in a cool, stable spot.
- Overstuffing. Don't force extra packs into a display built for fewer.
- Putting it off. Most damage happens in the first few weeks of handling a new item.
