I personally have always liked the white/orange theme of the dream cast and the CD cases weren't cutting it for me as a storage solution. So naturally i went searching around for different types of cases. I found nothing that really satisfied me until i looked over to my right and noticed how similar the 3DS cases were to the white label dreamcast games. I tinkered with it for a while to find a way for the disks to fit snugly in the case. It's still kind of a work in progress but hopefully you guys ca help me out with feedback and ideas.
Sorry for the lack of cover art in the actual case (printers out of ink)

Cover art designed for the 3DS cases using existing files from the site:

How i currently have it set up:


I used 2 manuals and a sleeve from an old cd case to fit the dick snugly in the case away from harm (still trying to work on this portion):

Wouldn't it just be easier and cheaper to use white poly CD cases?

That is too weird for me since there are so many options for discs.

It looks nice enough, but like other the other guys said, there are literally hundreds of options for disc storage that don't require any tweaking or modding. Not to mention that 3DS cases are WAY more expensive than most any actual disc storage :(

White poly cases would be way easier, but if you are  certain you want to use these cases, then stick on CD clis would be easier than hacking up all your cd cases
