What kind of cases do you use to store your CD-based games with custom covers?

[dannyboyswe]

Hey guys!

I'm a new member, and all new to the custom cover art scene.

I'm looking to start printing custom cover art for my CD-based games, but unsure of what type of cases to use.
Maybe someone could recommend me some different types of cases and where to buy them?

I live in Sweden, so it's a big plus if I can find them anywhere in Europe to order home.
Another big plus is if they aren't to expensive either.

14mm DVD for most everything except for games which original came in standard jewel cases.

Here's what I use and I love 'em:

I'm actually looking to get rid of some, but I'm afraid I'm in the States so shipping may not be cost-friendly.

Can you post some pics of the cases? I'm looking to case up some PS1, Dreamcast, and PC games.

That's more or less exactly what I'm looking for!
Now I just need to find someone in Europe who sells them...

Well they're not official artwork, but they suited me just fine. I have only three completed at the time.

The reason they're empty is that I decided to keep mine in the original jewel cases in the end.

How well do they blend in with Jewel Cases?
I got some Demo Discs and 2 loose for PS1, Most of my Dreamcast is loose, and around 1/2 of my PC collection is loose.
I my want to blend them.

Pretty well. I got those cases specifically because they're the exact same dimensions as a standard jewel case. MAYBE a bit larger, but not by much.
The multi-disc cases I got from a different site, but they're pretty much the same dimensions as well.

Shoot. I didn't think of casing my demo discs...!


Edit:
The poly cases are slightly shorter and thicker than standard jewel cases, but you can't tell unless you're looking a few inches away.
Will post a pic of them on my shelf tomorrow.

I do 8 disc poly cases for my PS1 and Dreamcast games. Fox as many discs as i need or the whole jewel case if i have it.

Here's what they look like with other PS games.

I try to keep everything as close to original as possible.  Right now, the only exception to that is Sega CD and 3DO.  I have Sega CD in 14mm DVD cases, but I'm working to get enough spare Sega long box jewel cases to transfer them over.  3DO in a mixed bag.  Some of them are in their original long boxes.  Some of them are in the original CD jewel cases, but without the long boxes and a few are in DVD cases because I don't have anything original for them.  I'm hoping to eventually make reproduction long boxes for the games that are missing them because those are my favorite.

I like the look of those cases.  However, for me they are too different for me to have a mix between jewel cases and poly cases.  Therefore, I wouldn't consider switching over unless I knew I could get covers for all my PS1 games, and that might be a big project on its own.

It's definitely a big project. It started out as a fun way to display my PS cases but it quickly grew into a laborious task. That's why I have only three fully made and instead just got replacement jewel cases.
I hate, hate, HATE jewel cases, so that's why I wanted to get the poly cases; in in the end, however, I missed the "official" artwork of the games, despite sometimes being so bland, and just decided to get replacement jewel cases.

It's still fun to make the covers, and I have way more made in my computer. I just never printed them out.
Might still do so for games which didn't come in jewel cases, like demo discs and such.
