Metal Armor (PSA)
Metal Armor (PSA) is a $15 CAD magnetic case with an anodized aluminum frame and UV-filtering tempered-glass panels front and back for PSA standard slab (35pt), sold by Bastion Armor and dispatched from Canada within 1-2 business days to Canadian and US addresses.
Metal shell. Glass face. Magnetic close. An anodized aluminum shell that closes around the whole slab with magnets, faced front and back with UV-filtering tempered glass. Display-grade protection.
Metal Armor encases the entire holder in an anodized aluminum frame. Front and back are tempered-glass panels with UV filtering, so the card is visible from both sides and shielded from light fade.
The two halves align on built-in magnets and close with a satisfying snap. Open it in a second to swap slabs, and it stays shut on a shelf, in a case, or in the mail.
Solid, gradient, marble-flake, speckle and ceramic finishes. Pair it with the matching Armor Stand to display it upright.
Features
- Anodized aluminum frame encloses the full slab
- Tempered glass front and back with UV filtering
- Magnetic closure that opens in a second and stays shut
- Card and label visible from both sides
- Sized for the standard PSA holder (35pt), not BGS
Fit & compatibility
Made for PSA’s standard holder, the one PSA uses for regular-thickness cards (PSA’s limit for it is 40pt). PSA’s thicker holder for cards over 40pt does not fit.
Standard holders are the regular-thickness slabs each grader uses for ordinary cards (up to roughly 35-40pt; 1 pt = 0.001 in). Thick holders for patch, relic and memorabilia cards are not supported. Not sure which you have? See the slab fit guide.
Also available for BGS. Pair it with the Armor Stand (PSA). Shop by grader: PSA.

Questions
Does Metal Armor (PSA) fit BGS slabs?
No. BGS holders are shorter, wider and thicker. Use Metal Armor (BGS).
How does Metal Armor close?
The two aluminum halves align on built-in magnets and snap shut. Pull the halves apart to open. No tools, latches or screws.
Does it block UV?
The front and back panels are UV-filtering tempered glass.
Can I stack or ship slabs in the cases?
Yes. Both cases wrap every edge and corner, which is exactly what you want in a box, a binder or the mail.
