Barkley Mints are much easier to get in Australia. I can get 6 packs for $19.95 on ebay.

Thank you so much for posting about them.
I'm also from Australia. I managed to find the ALTOIDS ones at USA Foods here in Melbourne for about $4 a tin with mints :)

I really need one of those custom PCB's though. I wish I owned a 3D printer..

The window is right on top of the screen anyway so you wouldn't be able to see much :|

You would be able to do a small decal inside of it. Allowing for further customization. It's really cool and yeah while, functionally uesless, would be fun to mess around with style wise.

For the people living in The Netherlands; I just got some Barkleys Mints tins from the Xenos (near the cashier).

I want to know if anyone has found the windowed altoid size tin that can be shipped to the the united states? I very much like the idea of placing my own logo in the window and not having the tin say altoids, although if nobody has any ideas i would settle for the blank adafruit tin.

has anyone bothered to contact the UK seller on ebay, and ask him to send them to the us (providing the buyer pays postage)

Bought some Barkleys today, they look better then Altoids in my mind. If you live in Gothenburg, Sweden head over to 'Sega Gubben' at Övre Husargatan. They have Barkleys for 25 SEK, cheapest I've seen in Sweden so far. They also had some italian tins from NatureMed. I don't think the tins look as good as Barkleys but they had many colour variants and the bottom part was black. The tins seemed to be the same size as Barkleys so they should work:

Another alternative is "Amarelli" which can be found at the "DA" (in the Netherlands).
