I've been looking around for a site that sells plastic covers for NES, SNES, N64 boxes.  I've found a few on ebay but don't feel like paying $50 for 10 cases.   Any ideas, I'm sure someone has posted this before.

This is the website I use.  I've been pretty happy with the product.

This is what I posted the last time I ordered from them.

I decided to try some of the box protectors from http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/  I didn't order enough for all my boxes because I wasn't sure if I would like them or not, but I've confirmed that I'm happy with them and I'm going to order more.  I'm not big on collecting CIB, so I don't have many boxes, but if and when I pickup a box, I keep it.  I also don't typically display my boxes since I don't have many, but I figure these will help protect them in storage.  It's also nice to get my PCE and Master System cards in a sleeve so they don't move around in their cases. 

I ordered box protectors for NES, SNES, Jaguar, Sega 32x, 3DO, Master System cards, and Hu cards.

I also like the protective display boxes posted above from videogameboxprotectors a lot. I have some for my SNES, N64 and various GB & VB boxes. They look great, and are worth it in my opinion.

I was also very happy to see that they now have some for slipcase VHS cassettes. I don't have many, but I wanted to protect the ones I have, and they fit perfectly. Most of the VHS tapes I've kept/collected are the various Star Wars releases, Indiana Jones, and Disney titles like Mini Classics, Sing Alongs, etc. I also have a Betamax Return of the Jedi tape that has the same size slipcase as a VHS, so that fit as well.

Thanks for the help guys.  Now the question is how many do I wanna get. 

First thing to do is figure out which styles can use the same size cases.  For example, SNES and N64 fit in the same size case.  Therefore if you need 10 of each, you can just order one set of 20 and save a little money.  The website can be a little misleading since it lists SNES and N64 cases as different items.  I think there might be a note somewhere that they are interchangeable, but it isn't obvious.

I'm getting ready to order more myself.  I ordered a small quantity my first time because I didn't know if they would be of good quality.  Now that I know I'm happy with them, I'll probably order enough to case up the rest of my boxes with enough leftover to keep me covered for some time.  I don't have a huge collection of boxes since I'm not that into CIB, but I still need a descent order.

I have been using these guys.  Lots of variety in  sizes, too, including Windwaker w/ Ganondorf figure and Pokemon Stadium.
