Hey, guys.
I made some alternate Game Case Designs, on paper, for the following Game Carts:
1. Standard Size USA Master System (Cart-Based) games.
2. Standard Size USA Genesis Games.
3. Standard Size Japanese Mega Drive Games.
4. Sonic & Knuckles.
5. Genesis Game Genie.
6. Extra Tall Genesis Game cart 'Virtua Racing'.
7. Sega Genesis 32X Carts.
8. Famicom Standard Height Cart-Based Games.
9. Atari Jaguar Cartridge-Based Games.

They have locking tabs for the carts, and the manual side has holding tabs just like a DVD Case has.

I was wondering how many people would prefer the Game Cases, for those Carts,
to be the same size as original Sega Game Cases.

Note: The spine of these cases will be 3 millimeters (approx 1/8 of an inch) wider than standard Sega Cases.
That's so Sonic & Knuckles can fit in a case with it's manual.
Making all of these Game Cases 3 mm wider saves me about ten grand.

If I go this route, the Sega Game Cases would be the Second Run Game Cases,
and the First Run (UGC-Size) Game Cases would then be limited to:
USA: NES, SNES, SNES Game Genie, n64 w/Mem Card Support, n64 Game Shark.
JP: Super Famicom, n64 w/ Mem Card Support.

Since Kickstarter Campaigns don't stop when the $ goal is reached, they only stop once the duration ends,
I was thinking that if I set the goal at the UGC-Size Cases,
but wind up getting enough to also make molds for the Sega-Size Cases,
It could be doable.

Same here, it would be wonderful to replace my worn out Sega Cases with fresh sturdy new ones  ;)

I think it'd be a good idea to keep the Famicom and Jaguar cases UGC sized, so they be the same size as other Nintendo and Atari cases.
Sega carts would be OK Sega-sized, though I'd personally prefer alll cases being UGC size.

Sega all the way! UMCs are too big and lack a place for the manual!

i am totally into this as i've been looking for a decent casing solution for my genesis/32X carts.  i say the smaller the better.  if you could somehow integrate support for master system cards ("The Sega Card" games), i'd love you forever.

In my opinion the UGC is too thin. I was barely able to fit the manual for Sim City for the SNES in one. I wish they were all as thick as the Genesis cases to be honest.

Personally I'm cool with whatever. Right now all my Genesis and 32X games are in Genesis and 32X cases, except for Sonic & Knuckles (which I need to modify a case for or get yours if you make it Sega size).
