Genesysdtp.com has some 3'rd-Party GBA and DS Game Cases.
http://www.genesysdtp.com/nintendodscasedetails.htm
I have plans to make Game Cases for Handheld Games, such as, but not limited to, GB, GBC, and GBA, but it's going to be a while.
I'd like to get the Game Cases made, for Console-Based Games, first.

I just got a pack of 25 of these cases and they DO NOT hold GBA games!
They're made to hold a DS game and the dust cover that conceals the GBA slot on the DSLite!
Blargh!

I use the genesys cases, but yea, you do have to modify them to take gba games.
I use a pair of flush cutters designed for cutting wire, to cut the top bit of plastic flush with the case. Cuts through like butter.
This is what I use: http://www.amazon.com/Hakko-CHP170-Micro-Cutter-16AWG/dp/B0000WT6FI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370377632&sr=8-1&keywords=hakko+flush+cutter
I suppose small diagonal cutter pliers will do the trick as well.

I'm definitely not modifying (ie carving up) perfectly fine cases. That's the reason I haven't gone with UCGs because they're just so ugly with all that extra plastic and are useless for NES without modding. Here's hoping Onion cases wont be like that. ;)
Seymor, no need for all that, but thanks.
Maybe I'll collect a few more DS games to warrant having the cases...
Also...as I was sitting here at my desk with this DS case, I happened to notice that my Famicom Disk games and manuals (because, you know, I keep a Famicom and FDS on my desk) will almost fit in the DS cases if it wasn't for the plastic guides being in the wrong places.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

These DS cases don't even seem to fit DS games very well. They are rather loose in the slot although they do appear to be staying for now.

I bought some from somewhere else and the weren't much better. They were black and the plastic was very brittle and cracked when you looked at it.

Yes, we used these cases for GBA games currently but i do NOT like them. You can get them on ebay or from Hyperkin for a reasonable amount.
You have to modify them thought in order to actually fit the GBA cart. Yes, and they don't like it when you look at them. :)
