SNES video game cases?
3 years ago

Can someone help me find a lot of plastic video game cases, that can fit both the game, and instruction manual?

Including one that I want for my Super Metroid game and booklet.

I have spent months buying cases, only for them to not be what I wanted. My most recent attempt was to try VHS cases without the circle hubs in them. That almost worked, however the inside part is 0.5" too small, so the instruction booklet curls a little bit when the case is closed.

I want about 5 of these.

I am tired of buying cases that end up falling short of what I'm looking for, in one way or another.

I have one such old rental case from the late 90s that has Donkey Kong Country 2, and the booklet. I wish I could find more just like that.

And I want these cases to be clear, so I can see what's inside.

Other than ebay for vintage stuff, this is the only company I know of with new-production game cases:

Thank you. I just bought 5 of these.

I wish they were clear, but there doesn't seem to be many options, as I've alluded to.

And it's more important to me that the instruction booklet is able to lie flat, rather than have a little bit of it curl against the side of the case.

Uh-oh, I just thought of something. Will I be able to fit the games with the plastic dust covers too? I'll email them to ask.

They're closed on Sundays so I can't call.

For SNES cases, I ended up ordering these, I haven't received them yet. They said a cartridge with a dust cover would fit.

I also ordered documentation straps from Stone Age Gamer.

For my NES games, I have having problems.

I tried emailing and calling Game Case King; Custom Game Cases; and Retro Game Cases. No response. It's been days.

They look like they might have some products that could work, but without getting a definite answer as to whether a cartridge with a black dust cover would fit in a case, I don't want to order. Some of those sits also say they are 30+ days behind in fulfilling orders. So I don't want to order unless I know they can fulfill it soon.

Some of those sites also say they have cases for Game Genie. But again, without being able to ask if the code book will fit, I don't want to order. And especially not if they're 30+ days behind.

Stone Age Game responds quickly. They just didn't have a case that was exactly what I was looking for.
