My Imandix doesn't have such an option for CD paper thingies.

So here are two covers I was able to dig up. My Dune Spice Opera back was all faded and damagy so I had to make one from scratch

Looks nice!

Though I wonder if we should consider branching off into separate threads, since we are already posting covers for PS1, Sega CD, PC/DOS, and audio CDs, with a lot more on the way?

I started to put together a more generic thread description, thinking it may make sense to either branch off, or at least move the topic to the cover sections; could probably tweak it and create some threads.

CD Poly Cases Thread

About the CD Poly Cases:
Found by soundwave925 these poly cases are made of soft, clear plastic which are pretty solid. The single and four disc cases both include clips to hold game manuals and a solid, easy to use hub for holding the game disc. Additionally these cases are the same dimensions as a Standard (non-slim) CD Jewel case. Because of this, they are an ideal solution to housing CD based games and saving your shelf some real estate.

Single Disc Case empty:
<Similar to Soundwave's pics in page 1 or 2, but smaller dimensions>
Single Disc Case with Game:
<Similar to Soundwave's pics in page 1 or 2, but smaller dimensions>
Single Disc Case tabs to hold manual:
<Similar to Soundwave's pics in page 1 or 2, but smaller dimensions>
Four Disc Case empty:
<Similar to Soundwave's pics in page 1 or 2, but smaller dimensions>
Four Disc Case with Game:
<Similar to Soundwave's pics in page 1 or 2, but smaller dimensions>
Four Disc Case tabs to hold manual:
<Similar to Soundwave's pics in page 1 or 2, but smaller dimensions>


Pros:
• The Poly Cases are more durable than a standard CD Jewel Case.
• Dimensions are smaller than the 8-disc poly cases, thus freeing up just a bit more of your shelf space.
• Solid outer sleeve allows for retail, or custom artwork to be displayed.
• Since the cases are clear, original artwork or inlays can be displayed on the inside as well.
• Best features of a DVD case, with a smaller, thinner package.

Cons:
• Thicker (RPG, European) manuals won't fit with 4 game discs inside the case.
• Not as many covers (hopefully this is just temporary) as the 8-disc poly case.
• Not as many covers (hopefully this is just temporary) as the DVD case.

Where To Buy:
As Shenske stated in his 8-disc poly thread; you are welcome to google the cases and find your own however Soundwave has found us a seller with low prices and speedy shipping.
Single Disc Case w/Clear Sleeve @ $0.30 per case.
Four Disc Case w/Clear Sleeve @ $0.34 per case.

Was thinking if it was just 1 thread, I'd set it up so that the first couple posts after the first were "reserved for later" and then try and keep a running list of completed titles, organized alphabetically by system.

Looks good! We definitely have too many templates to warrant a thread for each, so maybe we could split it just into 2-3 threads. I just worry that having all covers in one thread might get kind of messy, though a list in post 1 would certainly help. Maybe "Console Game Covers" (Sega, Playstation, others), "PC/MAC Covers" (PC, DOS, Mac games and programs/applications, since there can be MANY possible covers) and "DVD/CD Covers" (movies and music, and any other miscellaneous covers). Then we could keep covers separated into logical groups.

If you want info on Games for DOS, you can put "Spine, Front", and on Games for Windows, you can put "Spine, Front, and options for PC CD and PC DVD".

I am dinking around with the template a bit more. Maybe use these for DVDs and Blu-rays as well, with their thickness and all that.

I have done a few experimenting with VCD covers and thought of DVDs, if you don't know about VCDs, they are a digital video format primarily popular in East Asia, but had a short stint of popularity among American Pirates before the cost of DVD recording went down.

Here's two more for my Star Wars PC series:



Dark Forces, the first first-person shooter set in the Star Wars universe, and Star Wars: Behind the Magic, a behind-the-scenes CD-ROM from the 90's that was (until the Blu-Ray release last year) the only place you could see deleted scenes from the original Star Wars.

Download: http://www.box.com/s/40a209078a80896a9da8

Here's how the series is looking side-by-side. Mysteries of the Sith is almost ready, I'm just waiting on getting a scan of the back.



I've also added 9 inlays for Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Behind the Magic and Rebel Assault (which is in the works). Here's a few examples of how they look:

LOVING that template and the covers you've posted thus far!


I'm thinking tomorrow afternoon I'll create a "master" CD Poly Case thread over in the DVD cover section, with what I posted earlier (with all the re-sized pictures) and a link to sub-threads for:
- Computer (PC/DOS/MAC) games (which I'm hoping TF will create/manage after I get the master/console thread started.)
- CD/DVD covers (which I'm hoping scarmullet will create/manage after I get the master/console thread started.)

Thanks, Velmeran!

What should be interesting is to see how the template looks with games that either predate or more importantly came after the mid 90's look I've used in the template. I'm interested to tackle games like JK2, Jedi Academy and Knights of the Old Republic with this older style look.

I can definitely manage the PC/DOS/MAC thread too.

I'm aware of PC ports of Sonic R, Sonic & Knuckles Collection, Sonic CD, Sega Smash Pack 2, Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic Adventure. I actually have the first 4.

You do? I would love the poly cases for those! Hope to see them soon :)

Unfortunately I never kept the boxes for them, so I only have the discs, but if I get scans of them, I'll definitely make them.

I did a Crash 2 since I didn't see one. I'm on the best at Photoshop, having started using it only last week. I pretty much cut and pasted. Feel free to make it better.
