I bought some protectors for GBA, PS1, and my NTSC-J Animal Crossing. All of the cardboard on the GBA games are in pretty rough condition not going to lie, but like sworddude said, might as well preserve what's left. Before protecting them they wouldn't hold their shape on the shelf at all, but now I can stack them up without it looking terrible. The PS1 protectors are a bit overkill but the jewel cases are very prone to getting scratched, scuffed, and cracked so might as well protect them too. I'm sure if you merely glanced at a PS1 game the wrong way, the cover would get scuffed somehow. You can probably just buy replacement jewel cases for about the same price as the protectors though, although I haven't bothered to research buying those. I got the protectors off eBay and Amazon, because some other sites were out of stock at the time and had no shipping estimate. So far it's been a 100% positive experience. Would buy more if they weren't so expensive! |

I finally got protective cases for all my boxed nes,snes,n64,jaguar,turbo grafx-16,gba,gbc and sega genesis cardboard boxes a few months ago. I highly recommend it,they look great and im happy they're protected. |

I bought a couple of game cases from customgamecases.com. I'm not a collector who thinks all games that came with boxes should be collected with them, unless they're plastic or the media is disc-based (even then, I'm adaptable for whatever I find). I got cases for Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Super Monkey Ball Jr., and they work very well. They cost 15 bucks all together (that includes shipping). I highly recommend them! |

I use those cases too, but only for those games I consider it necessary for, like e.g. NES-Games, or Sega Saturn Games, for their PAL-original cases are quite fragile. If I had more cardboard boxed games I'd case them in too ... so dust and stuff is kept away from them. This isn't really a deal, if the original cases (e.g. SEGA Megadrive, PS2, or PS3) are durable enough. |

The best candidate for these cases are cardboard boxes and loose games (NES, SNES, N64, etc.). Of course, if you want to protect your expensive, most collectible games, then they're also an option. You gots to protect your investment, no? |
