@darko So the GB and GBC games will actually clip into the GBA holder? and rest on the DS holder? Man that's some impressive effort into making them fit. haha

It's an interesting situation, that's for sure. The games fit upside down in the case perfectly. Or, you can cut part of the plastic above the GBA holder to make them fit  right side up. I'm going with upside down. It gets even better when you add a  GB manual since they are a few centimeters too long to fit in the DS manual spot. More cutting..yeah.

I'm probably going to either A) buy a dremel or B) loose my mind cutting away at 30 of these bastards with a box cutter.

If anyone has any trouble finding DS cases here is a link to get some after market cases.

Someone at TCP has already created a thread for these, concerning quility and etc.

I will say they are cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I would still order them from Nintendo as long as they are available. They're not price prohibitive and they're the real deal!

I don't blame you,  but from what I have heard they are phasing out the DS cases with the GBA slot.   :-\

Well that sucks!

I have ~ 20 left over since I decided that making cases for GB/GBC games is too much of a pain. Glad I stocked up!

I ordered 3 sets of 10 and they were $7 per. So that's less then buck a piece. Suuuuuper reasonable.

Also I'm in no way ever doing game boy games. With over 60 of them that would be so much work it'd prolly lop off a finger.

Most of my loose carts are stacked on my game shelves.  Discs are much easier to deal with, however.  I've bought a few games on disc that were missing the artwork, so I downloaded replacements from cdcovers.cc and printed them out.  Most are pretty common games (Marvel vs. Capcom 2 [DC] being my only valuable game with a printed insert), so I just printed them out on regular printer paper and cut it to fit a dvd or jewel case.  You can tell pretty easily when you pull it off the shelf, but stacked up with everything else it's hard to notice.

I was looking at that NeoGAF thread about the minimalist covers, and I think I may try going the route of that ICO & Shadow of the Colossus cover.
