I am in the process of producing an alternative case that can house the NES Cartridge and others.  It will be closer to the price point of the UGC and will use existing cover art..........Stay tuned........

I would love a case that fits NES carts and can use existing case art. SeymoreOnion is working on some, but advancement is slow. There is another vacuum made case by StoneAge out there there too, but they are rather cost prohibitive.

More information, material, if it can hold manuals, etc?

SeymoreOnion have a good option of case but like Blumpkin said is slow. If it's vacuum made it won't work for me

They are injection molded.  I need as much input as possible on the manual holder, as I am finalizing the details.  I have already been in contact with the person making the mold and people that will do the injection process.  Do most not like the manual laying on top of the cartridge?  I personally don't collect manuals, but I know a lot of people do.  I will have more info and a web site in the next week or so.  You can contact me here or a frankfrankins@gmail.com.

Personally I just would like to have the manual with the game. I would like it to be secure, but as long as it fits inside that would be fine.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

I prefer the manuals to be securily held on the inside of the front like PS2/PS3/Xbox/X360 games have.

A manual holder is what would set your cases apart from others. It's been the desire of a lot of collectors, but so far there hasn't been a cartridge case with a means of securely holding a manual too.

I like to collect the manuals and love to have a place in the case that hold them too.

There will now be a way to hold the manual.  One last item of discussion....Clear or Black cases.  At this point the case can hold the NES cartridge (which was the main objective), and will hold SNES, Jaguar, SMS, Genesis, and Intellivision Cartridges.   I am researching the other Atari cartridges and Colecovision cartridges ....as I dont own any of those

Some like the black, but personally I prefer clear cases to hold inlays like these: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=7877.0

I think you should make it both, some prefer clear and others black. I like black ones but that doesn't mean that i will not buy the clear one  :P

And it's very likely that these will as well.  That's sort of the nature of product development :(

I have seen the cases that SAG is selling...They look like really nice cases (They kind of remind me of my Neo Geo AES cases), but the cases that I am producing will be much closer to the price point of the UGC.  Most likely the initial run is going to be clear like the UGC, so they will fit right in to most collections.
