The Rise of a new UGC :)
Polygon:
If you need a donor Genesis clamshell I'd be happy to send you a couple for the different sizes. I'd also buy some as well. Also, some Genesis clamshells that fit 32X games would be cool!

if is going to be the genesis clamshell first then i think it should accomodate all sega cartridges like an UGC but with the same exterior as the genesis clamshell, so it would be one case for all types
but as i don have any sega games i prefer first the nes, snes, n64 cases :P ;D

I like how the original Genesis clamshells hold the cart securely. That would work for different cart sizes. But it's always an idea. I wonder what everyone else thinks.
TDIRunner:
While I still feel that NES should be the top priority, I can understand why people would want Sega cases as well. If you go with the Sega case, I have one suggestion. The only way you will make good money with Sega cases, is if one case can hold all types of Sega games. I’m thinking of four case sizes (Master System, Genesis, EA Genesis and 32x). Something similar to your Game Boy cases which hold all three types. You will have a hard time getting your money back if you have a separate mold and case for each type of Sega game. You can call them universal Genesis cases, or UGC for short…….. oh crap. How about universal Sega cases?
That leaves one more question. Are there any Sega games that don’t fit into the 4 sizes I mentioned earlier? I’m thinking about games like Combat Cars or “J-Cart” games. They are a little bigger, but I don’t remember if their dimensions are different then EA Genesis games. Maybe someone else can weigh in.
BadChad:
While the Genesis cases do have varying spine widths, it may not exactly be practical to produce variants for them. EA cases are notorious for inconsistency with spine widths, and I cant really see there being a huge demand for EA cases in comparison to the originals anyway. There's certainly no shortage of dirt cheap cased EA sports games no matter where you go, if you did need one.
But the best bet would probably to keep everything just like the original Sega cases and incorporate a square slot for EA games like one of these guys right here:
Same dimensions as the original cases in every way, and can still accommodate an EA cart. And all that would need to be done to accommodate 32X games, would be to leave out the plastic in these areas since 32X games are slightly wider and wont fit within the original Genesis cart clips:
Problem solved! :)
