A compact deck case whose 100-card rating has a sleeve condition
I would choose Boulder 100+ when keeping a single deck compact is more important than built-in accessory storage. The maker’s explicit Ultimate Guard sleeve condition should remain visible whenever this box is recommended for a double-sleeved deck.
Choose it if
You want a compact rigid box and have checked your finished stack.
Look elsewhere if
You need extra token room, a dice tray, or an assured fit for an untested thick-inner combination.
The buying facts
| Rated capacity | 100 double-sleeved cards in Ultimate Guard sleeves |
|---|---|
| Other rated capacities | 120 single-sleeved or 210 unsleeved |
| Outer dimensions (W × D × H) | 76 × 75 × 98.5 mm |
| Reference SKU | UGD010689 |
| Construction | Rigid box with secure closure |
Will it fit?
Manufacturer-statedUltimate Guard rates 100 double-sleeved cards using its sleeves. Other brands can affect capacity. The external dimensions do not establish how much room remains for tokens or a thicker inner layer.
Compact has a tradeoff
The appeal is a small single-deck package. I would not choose it by subtracting the card width from the outside box width: walls and the closure consume space that the deck cannot use.
Build the stack with the intended inners and playing sleeves first. Include every token or divider that will travel in the main compartment, then check that removal and closing do not require pressure.
Read each capacity independently
The 100, 120, and 210 figures describe different sleeve conditions. They are not interchangeable and are not an invitation to interpolate an exact count for a cross-brand sleeve combination.
For a larger carrier, compare the documented number of Boulders it accepts. A loose-card rating alone is insufficient to calculate the number of closed deck boxes that will fit.
