Coolbyl Black Aluminum Slab Guard with UV Glass – Magnetic Closure, Fits PSA Graded Cards
The Coolbyl Magnetic Graded Card Slab Guard is a black aluminum display case built for standard graded slabs like PSA. It uses a metal frame and UV-resistant tempered glass to shield cards from scratches and light damage. The magnetic closure keeps the slab secure while allowing quick access. At just 2.47 ounces and 0.4 inches thick, it’s slim enough for shelves or wall mounting. Collectors who want a clean, protective display without clutter will find this case a straightforward upgrade.
How does the Coolbyl Slab Guard protect graded cards?
The case combines an aluminum alloy frame with tempered glass. The glass includes UV protection to help prevent fading from sunlight or indoor lighting. The metal frame adds rigidity, so the slab stays flat and won’t flex. The magnetic closure holds the case shut firmly, yet opens smoothly with one hand. There are no latches or hinges to wear out over time.
Dimensions and fit
- External: 5.55 x 3.43 x 0.4 inches
- Internal: 5.4 x 3.25 x 0.24 inches
- Weight: 2.47 oz (69.5 g)
- Material: Aluminum alloy frame, tempered glass
The internal cavity is designed to fit a single standard graded slab snugly. It does not accommodate slabs that already have an extra protective sleeve — those will be too thick. Always check your slab’s dimensions against the internal measurements before buying.
Magnetic closure and daily use
The magnet is strong enough to keep the case closed during handling or transport. Open it by applying gentle pressure to the edges — no prying required. The lack of moving parts means less can break. Many collectors use these cases for cards they rotate in and out of display, since the magnetic seal makes swapping quick.
Colors and personalization
While this listing is for the Black version, the same case is also available in Red, Gold, Silver, Blue, Green, Purple, and Orange. If you collect multiple slabs, different colors can help organize by set, player, or grade without extra labels.
What to keep in mind
- The tempered glass comes with a blue protective film on both sides. Remove it before placing your slab inside — the film is for shipping only.
- This product is designed by independent collectors and is not affiliated with PSA, BGS, or any other grading service.
- The case has built-in UV protection. It reduces but does not eliminate all fading risk over many years.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use this case with a slab that has an additional protective sleeve?
No — the internal space is sized for bare slabs. Adding a sleeve will likely prevent the case from closing or damage the glass.
Is there any film I need to remove before using?
Yes. The tempered glass has a blue protective film on both sides. Peel it off before inserting your card.
What are the exact external measurements?
5.55 inches long, 3.43 inches wide, 0.4 inches thick.
Is this case UV proof?
The glass provides UV resistance to help reduce fading. It is not a guarantee against long-term light exposure, but it adds meaningful protection for display.
Does it fit BGS or CGC slabs?
The internal dimensions (5.4 x 3.25 x 0.24 in) match most standard graded slabs. Check your slab’s thickness – if it is thicker than 0.24 inches, it will not fit.
