 In this instructable I'm going to explain how to make a sturdy duct-tape playing card case. 
Unlike any other duct-tape card case instructable I've seen, I will be using plastic from an old DVD box to make it sturdy. This way my cards are safe in my school bag if it's dropped or anything. 

This instructable will work with any card and deck size (including trading card games).

Materials and tools
 Materials: 
An old DVD box (you might need multiple depending on your deck/card size).
Duct-tape. 
Small (thin) magnets (optional, used to close the box).
Your deck of cards (for measuring). 

Tools: 
Sturdy scissors. 
An x-acto or hobby knife (optional but very useful). 
A drill with bit the size of your magnets (optional, I didn't use one). 
Ruler. 
Pen or something else that can be seen on the plastic of the DVD box.

Wow. Very clean. A brilliant, better alternative for a soft duct tape case.

wow, this took me just under 2 hours to do, it only felt like 30 minutes. when i made mine i used the part of the case that holds the dvd in place and it gave a nice look and a nice little lip to flip up the lid, thank u again! i actually like this more than store bought :D

This is really beautifully done, and I will be substituting magnets for velcro, and a dvd case for a thinner plastic material , a little more flimsy but I dont mind.
