Is the UPC code the same on the metal lighter case and the regular standard case?

Yes, it is.

Thanks for the info, I guess I will have to buy this in person. Do stores still have the lighter case in stock or will it be tough to find?

in my area (eastern north carolina), i still see these everywhere. i just bought it from circuit city for 12.99 on black friday. i don't think you will have a tough time finding it. . .good luck and take care!

from the stores i've been to, the standard case is semi-quickly starting to replace the zippo set. but when i went to my local costco, they had two full cases of mad men zippo sets, so that may be your best bet if you are a member/can get a member to get one for you.

Costco seems to have gotten a lot of the zippo sets in. Didn't see them 2 months ago, and now they are in there everytime I look.
