IKEA has the detolf cases - check the website to see if one is near you Other than that any case will do as long as you like it - keep an eye out for store closings that liquidate glass cases - jewelery stores and what not |

definitely don't plan on shipping a detolf from ikea the shipping costs will end up more than the case itself |

Yeah. The Detolf cost about $60. To ship it it's about $165 on top of that. You read right...approximately $220-$235 with all charges and that's not even talking taxes. Basically if you pick one up it's worth it. Here's a crappy photo of my shit in a Detolf. 
There is another section in the bottom of these 3 but you get the idea. |

i tried, but was unable to find one i liked. what is cool about the detolf is that it is glass all the way around. no fakey wood down the sides |

I'm still having fantasies of smashing detolfs with an axe handle, top to bottom, in one fluid motion. |

I know some people whove made plexi glass ones or padded ones. http://www.artofskateboarding.com/Store ... oducts.asp |

I don't care for Deltofs, I've never owned one. They just look sterile. No fun. Than again, I'm not much of one for covering my stuff, I just get some canned air and dust once a week. I like em' freeeeee! |

i had a mirror cut to fit the outside back of my detolf. 100% improvement. still though, i dont like the lighting or the gaps that allow in so much dust. and the edges take away from the images. i was in a furnishings store the other day that had a type of plexiglass cabinet. about the same hight but cylindical and oval, seeled and with a key lock door. really nice but around $300-$400. but really nice! |

i really want something more shallow, but most of my toys are 12" and over, so the shelves have to be taller-any thoughts appreciated! |

Detolfs arent too bad. You just have to be creative with it. I ordered 8 detolfs and shipping (if memory servs me) was alil over $200. bucks. I have an old tread somewhere here about it.. I also have an old Toys R Us display case. BIG and solid like a tank about 6.5' tall x 8'-2" wide x 24" deep. TRUs was remodeling in the mid 90s and was throwing em all away.
