General opinions on PS1 storage

Jewel cases are SOOOOO cheap. Just pick up a handful at Best Buy or something. No excuse for crusty jewel cases unlike the horrible Saturn cases.
You can also be a cheap-ass bastard and pull that part of the jewel case off and just soak it in some soapy water overnight. That might do the trick ;)

The 2 games I'm getting that were originally made in longboxes, but still have regular case variants are: Road & Track Presents: The Need For Speed and Twisted Metal. Also, that link I posted has the proper names for the types of longboxes. I guess I kinda just guessed at their names at 1st.
The names of the types of longbox cases are:
1. Long Box Saturn Style (Clear)
2. Long Box Ridged (Bumpy)
3. Long Box Flat (Cardboard)

Same here. Only Jumping Flash and my original copy of Resident Evil were longbox. Both are in Jewel cases now with the longboxes stashed away :)

I hate original Saturn cases l... I replace all the crack ones with dvd cases they look better than those broken damaged cases i used to have..

Good lord I feel so stupid for not noticing that, especially as ocd as I am with shelf display. :P
I have a limited amount of space on my retro game shelf (if Xbox and PS2 can be considered obsolete enough), so jewels seem to be the way to go. I can adjust the shelving to stack the jewels on top of each other as well so they seem to be the best use of space.
Also, what are the dimensions of the longbox? Is the manual insert just twice as high as the PS1 manuals or is it closer to an Xbox/PS2 booklet?

Own any Saturn games?
Umbra:
Nah. I just got into legit collecting about three months ago. I don't have any Sega consoles because I hear mixed opinions on those.
