Since NOA sells only the new DS cases, where can I buy cases that still include the GBA slot?

I found this: http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Black-Nintendo-Replacement-VGBR14DSBK/dp/B0039ZSVBS but I saw that they don't close properly with GBA games inside.

The generic cases are available for a LOT less. I think I paid about 20 bucks for 100. I'll post the link in the morning.

Are you sure they sell cases without the GBA holder?  I bought some cases from their site a month ago and they all had the GBA slot, they were just regular DS cases.

Or you could just go into gamestop and ask if they have any, they normally give me a couple everytime I go in.

Are those cases decent quality? I just asked for some generic cases from my local GameStop, and they fall apart with no effort. How would you grade them on quality out of 10? Hopefully they ship to Canada :)

As I understand it, they're probably the same thing.  I do NOT shop at GS or any other place like that, so I can't speak to the cases that they use specifically, but based on what I've heard folks here say, the cheap-o cases that I use are the same quality. 

They get the job done and are dirt cheap.  I tend to modify cases more often than not (doubles, triples, holding other types of games, etc.), and I'd way rather cut up aftermarket cases than OEM.  Though,  I am really bummed that those aren't even an option anymore :(
