SOOOoooooo......
Order of case moulds?
1.) GB/GBC/GBA
2.) Sega Genisis
3.) UGC (Existing cart(s) set up)
4.) UGC NES
5.) Sega Game Gear
?? Sounds about right ??
As for the conformity of Sega games and their cases, what if I created high quality clones of the Sega Genisis clamshell cases and after that I would re-create the right half of the mould to accommodate the other Sega games like EA, Sonic/Knuckles, Accolade, and 32x) SO their exterior appearance would all be conforming
Thoughts?

I'd say that can work.

That sounds awesome to me!

Please make sure the case has that tabby thing and that the case is NOT EA ;) Once I get it I'm going to check it out and get the process of getting it created. (HOPEFULLY it will not take 6 months to make, I told my mould people about "cloning" an existing case and they think it should only be a matter of a few weeks!) Wouldn't that be awesome!

I think I've got one case with the hang tab. I'm one of those people that cut them off. I'll send you a PM.

Works for me!
One detail we never touched on was the insert sleeve plastic. I'd like to see that keep a textured look just like the originals if possible. Having a shiny and smooth plastic like say DS cases, would probably make the replacement stick out like a sore thumb in comparison to the originals. Kinda like how you can tell the difference between an older UGC and a Recent one because they changed the plastic they use for inserts later on.
Arseen:
Good point.
Yeah definitely same type plastic as original cases.
For future UGC cases too, please.
The foggy plastic looks better than shiny.

Me for one. Not because I care about the game, but because if I have a game, I will case it. I have several EA Genesis games that I acquired as part of large game lots I've purchased over the years. As a collector, if I get a game, I will keep it and case it even if I don't care about it. It's also important to me that game cases from the same system are the same size (with spine thickness as the only exception). Currently, my EA Genesis games are in UGCs with the rest of my Genesis games. Therefore, if EA Genesis games do not fit into the new Sega cases, I won’t buy them because my EA Genesis games will still be in UGCs which will not be the same size as the new Sega cases.
If I'm the ONLY person who thinks the cases should hold all types of Sega games including EA games, then by all means go with the majority opinion. I just hope that people understand that if EA games are left out of the Sega cases, then they will probably never be made. I can guarantee you that a case specifically for an EA Genesis game will never be profitable and therefore never be made. Can we all live with that? Probably. But it should at least be considered.

There has to be way to create an all-in-one Sega Clamshell size case that can hold ALL or at least 90% of ALL Genesis/ Mega Drive games: regular (US/ JPN/ PAL)/ EA/ Sonic & Knuckles/ Virtua Racing/ Game Genie and even 32X and Master System all in the SAME case. There HAS to be a way. Doesn't UGC allow that all in the same case?
