Shadowbox has said that he probably in the future he will make a GG case, doesn't hurt to wait a little more ;)

I have a pretty small GG library and I'm thinking that some careful cuts would keep the carts in place using the GB walls as supports. Just not sure where would be best...

There's no quick and easy way. You'd have to cut about 3/4 of the support/clips out before they'd even fit, then you'd need to devise something to hold them in place :-\

Not necessarily, if you don't care about it being centered. I think it can be done with a few simple cuts/clips and little or no additions to hold it in place. Here's a couple options I came up with.
Red is what to cut, black is put something there to keep it in place, mockup is approximate size based on my tests:
Obviously his GG cases will be awesome and I'll be getting them whenever he does make them. But he he's likely making his NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, EA/32X Genesis and possibly double-GB cases before that. Besides, for now I currently only own 9 GG games, and I'm going to end up with several extra GB cases with my next batch, so I figure - why not? It's a lot cleaner and a lot less work than chopping up DS cases.

Went with the first method I posted above, and the results were very good - fits nicely in place with only a tiny bit of wiggle room vertically. Closes just fine! The cut was pretty easy using an x-acto knife and end cutters. 8)

Nice, fits and with little modification
TDIRunner:
To be fair, Game Gear games it in original DS cases with a little modification as well. For me, I hate to modify a bunch of DS or Shadowfox cases knowing that the real thing is down the road. The question is how far down the road? Realistically it's probably a ways down the road. But I also hate for my GG games to sit naked without cases.
So I'm torn. :-\
