Neo Geo MVS Cases
SasoriSoren:
We were discussing it in the Craigslist Wishlist thread so I looked around and found these:

They are expensive at $9 a case but they do have the ability to have inserts done and make that MVS collection all of us are starting, have or wish we were doing ever or, look good. Considering the investment an MVS library is I don't really mind the extra $9 per game to get them cased and covered.
Azarkhel:
They have their flaws. The biggest one being the size of them, completely unnecessary for the size of the cart they hold. A more space conscious solution is the NeoMini boxes.

Additionally, the guy who made the Omega CMVS is considering producing snap lock style cases for MVS carts in the next year or two.

i agree they do have a little too much space for MVS carts, and i cant imagine what Atomiswave carts look like in them, but PGM carts are slightly wider than MVS so they need the extra height, and some crazy people who buy cave shoot-em-ups have fitted the boards in them, so the size is a good thing, makes them more versitile.
i've already got a small stock of them for MVS, so im sticking with them, but if the "Omega Shocks" look good and cost less, and get made, i may go for them...

He's doing an alternate style MVS cart shell first, so it'll be awhile.

I like the plastic cases over the NeoMini cardboard boxes. ;)
