Marcus_CA:
I love all your comments everyone, thanks! ;D

I'm quite bummed about the whole manual storage ... I was also tempted to wait for onion but damn, it's been years and I mean YEARS since the idea came up and only two products are out. I don't know if I can wait that long.. even though NES cases are suppose to come out this year, but still, not official - I think? :o

If only mediashelving make their cases half an inch bigger with clips.. I'd be sold instantly.

I live in Australia so things are ridiculously expensive to get out here. It costs 200+ for shipping on a carton of UGC :(

So those are kind of out of the question. I've managed to source cheapish NDS cases, they're third party but they have the GBA Slot.
In order to remedy my lack of UGC, I'm going to be buying some double-wide dvd cases, 27mm. They should hold everything I own, including atari games which I don't think UGC do?

Not too sure, no modding but they're loose. Oh well, win some lose some. I'll post some photos of my collection when it's all made up.

Most of my games have their original boxes except my nes collection , traded it all in back in the day and have been sorry about it ever since , ive replaced most of those games but mostly catridge only so i use UGC's for snes and nes and for my gba i use Ds cases , i wanted a uniform look so all my snes and nes games have gone into ugc's i just left the manuals in the original boxes and have them stored away safe in bins

im in need of a new printer so i can finish printing covers but thats on hold at the moment

I store manuals in binders.

I have SNES, N64, and Genesis games in UGC, and NES, Atari 2600, and some GB games loose, some in Cassette cases, 2 in 3DS.

I'm casing my collection... complicatedly.

First, I'm in the US

For SNES, N64, SMS, Genesis, and 32X I bought a single 100-case box of UGCs from mediashelving back before they increased their prices... which at the time was more than sufficient for my collection... but my collection has grown a lot since then. After a long internal debate over the retail-like horizontal covers and the more-case-fitting vertical covers, I decided to throw both options out the window and just go custom.... But a custom style of my own design that's intended to match the modern retail cases for disc-based games. Unfortunately, due to many mitigating circumstances, my progress on that front has been slow and I've only completed four covers. . . . Which might be for the best since I plan to replace these cases with Onion cases as they become available. As discussed previously by others, the manuals fit but aren't held in place and can be bent a little.

For DS and GBA I've been going with DS cases, and built up a decent enough stack of OEM cases that I'm a long ways from settling for wonky third party ones. I'm just using the covers on the site for these. As is well documented, GBA manuals do not fit without some modification of the case.

For GB/GBC I've gone the route of 3DS cases, which hold the cartridges fairly well with a little modification (not cutting, just adding foam to hold the thing in place), and hold the manuals perfectly well, too.

... For NES I've currently just got the carts sitting on the shelf loose for two reasons: 1: Waiting for Onion cases. 2: Insufficient space.

Everything else is either in the normal cases they come in (jewel cases, dvd cases, blu-ray cases, UMD cases, etc) or loose (Game Gear and NeoGeo Pocket/Color)
