Protecting retail boxes?

[scott]

I've got a few complete Game Boy games coming and was looking for a way to protect them from surface scratches and minor damage. Any suggestions?

[matt]

What are the dimensions of the box?

[matt]

I bought these for my NES boxes:

I highly recommend them for any boxed games. I'll try to work out the dimensions for other formats and see what they have. I know they do custom sizes as well.

I'm gonna have to take some measurements. I don't know off hand.

I'm going to need to get some of these soon. A bunch for Game Boy size boxes, then a couple NES, SNES and N64 ones.

I bought some for NES boxes off ebay a few months ago. I believe I got 10-12 for $10. They are quite nice and I'm 99% sure they were originally made/ordered from that site.

[scott]

I think I might just get some off of ebay as well. Apparently the SNES and N64 boxes are the same size, so... two birds. ha

[scott]

@darko Would you happen to have 3 extra ones you'd be willing to part with?

[darko]

@scott Sorry but I've already used all of the ones I have. I need to order more and was going to do it sooner than later. I can hook you up when they arrive.

Sweet man, thanks. I'll only need 3 for the NES castlevanias when I get them. Not really worth it to buy a 10 pack.

Darn they don't ship to canada

I've considered using comic book sleeves to protect against dust/scratching.  They are pretty darn cheap and can easily be taped/cut to fit but obviously won't prevent crushing.

[scott]

The boxes matt got were really nice and fit his NES games like a glove. I'm sure they would still crush if something heavy landed on them, but they protect from random scuffs and such and are rigid.

if anyone is willing to buy some and ship them my way, ill be more than happy to pay the extra shipping.etc

I need ~ 10 (1 pack) for my super famicom games, future famicom, snes games.

I'll need to buy snes protectors for 4 games; that would leave 6 left over that I'd likely never use. Not sure when I'd get them though, I need game boy size ones first.
