I'm looking to buy some DS game cases, I need the old gray ones with the GBA cart slot.  Anyone know a place that sells them?

If you order from Nintendo, be careful.  A while back Nintendo stopped making DS cases with the GBA slot.  I heard somewhere that they no longer offer the ones with the slot in their site.  They might, but just make sure that you order the right ones.  They have 3rd party ones on amazon and various online stores - they run from crap to decent quality, just note that some 3rd party cases have trouble fitting the GBA games, and will bulge open due to crap design.  Just read the reviews before ordering.  I'll see if I can find the sites I;ve ordered from in the past

These cases are dirt cheap but like 2/5 star quality.  They need to be modded to fit the GBA games, but the plastic is so brittle it will break in your hands without tools.

I only recommend this if you have a bunch of games you need cased and don't want to spend the money on good cases.

Ask your local Gamestop.  They no longer sell used DS games in the cases, so the cases just get thrown away when a game is traded in.

I need 10.  I tried eBay, but couldn't find any of the old ones, just the new 3DS cases which I don't want.

Seriously? Why would they intentionally de-value a game like that? If anything, it would even make them harder to sell without the case and manual. Seems like a pretty stupid move for a game store. EB Games hasnt been doing this...
