Difference between nintendo's old ds cartridg case and the new 'eco' one?

[numana]

Hi guys, I'm about to order 50 ds cartridge case from nintendo. I'm not from the US so I sort of want to be a 100% sure on what I'm buying since nintendo didn't provide much info

I was wondering if the new ds case of nintendo, the one that 'eco friendly' one and the old ds case (with the gba slot) are thesame in terms of thickness and size.Like exactly thesame. I heard somewhere that the new one was thinner? if that's the case then wouldn't the covers from here be slightly out of place ? just wondering.

If you google "nintendo ds eco vs standard case" and click 'images' then the first top left picture shows a comparison between the standard case and the eco case with the cut outs. I think they fit covers the same.

oh yeah. I see. Is it just me or does the spine look thinner?
anyways
how about 3ds and ds cases? are they thesame?

If you're not from the U.S., where are you from?  EU DS cases are the thickest, then US DS/Eco DS then 3DS are the thinnest.

Philippines.
There's no nintendo service center here.
I was just thinking of ordering online instead. but I'm worried that my gba/gbc carts won't fit.

My plans is to use like a spongy paper/foam cut out to hold the cartridges. like here

Quality is as good as real Ninbtendo cases.

Nintendo is 0.7 dollars a case.

The extra money is worth the time it will take to modify each and every Nintendo DS case to get GB and GBC to fit.  Plus there is a good chance that the Nintendo cases won't have the GB Advance slot as they stopped making cases that hold GB Advance.

I bought 100 cases from Shadowfox and I'm getting ready to order another 100.

I will agree, Shadowfos's GB cases are pretty sweet. I've got 100 of them myself, wish I had more but money is short right now.
And to confirm, DS cases from Nintendo do NOT have GBA slots in them anymore. So if you are wantin to case your games there is no reason to be a penny pincher anyway, just spend the extra cash to get good quality cases that you don't have to modify.
