So I know there was a topic about covers for 3DS cases, I just wanted to share what I'm working on based off of all of the great ideas I've seen from this wonderful community!!



I plan on doing this with all of my GB/GBC/GBA games. I have access to 3DS cases but they're generic so the games don't fit like they do in the regular 3DS cases. I'm just working on creating an easy to use template and cutting technique. Let me know what you guys think. All input is very appreciated.

I heard that Gamestop will be removing all used DS and 3DS games from cases and just displaying the games in a glass case.  If that's the case, your local store may have cases that are being thrown away.  I know that they throw away PS2 cases when those games are traded in.

I grabbed several at Gamestop, but I hate the idea of redoing covers just to fit the more slim case that really doesn't make the text pop up on the spine that well anyway. Sticking with DS cases for now.

Looks good but where did you get that black 3DS case?
Also My GS is only removing DS game cases, not 3DS cases, and bigger stores may still keep them.

I work at a game store and can grab a few from work here and there!

I haven't really started boxing up my old GB games yet so for me it's great. But I understand not wanting to redo a whole set. I wouldn't either. But since I have an easy supply of 3DS cases it's only logical for me to do the this way. I will however still do GBA in regular DS cases.

I'd certainly like to find a handful of those black cases...  :o

Yeah I did something almost identical on my white Genesys DTP cases as a test for fitting GB/GBC games, or anything else.
