I don't know where you live, but there are many UK retailers who sell and ship EU Nintendo DS cases worldwide. (Sheep already posted a link above, you can find more on Ebay.)  ;)

But anyway, I have decided to also provide US size versions of my covers in the future, so people will have a broader selection of cases.

I will probably post the rest of the zelda series in US size later tomorrow.

No - EU 3DS cases are the size of US DS cases

So US DS cases, EU 3DS cases and Shadowfox (customgamecases.com) cases all have the same dimensions?

This is what I mean by a custom case, this fits GB, GBC and GBA cartridges. DS cases fit only DS or GBA.

Yes, by default a standard DS case only fits GBA and DS games.

But you can also fit a GB or GBC game, by cutting away certain parts of the case. (Here you can find many pictures of the process.)
This is what most people did (still do?), before there were custom cases.

Modifying an EU case to fit GB / GBC games is easier (and gives you a cleaner result), because it has a slightly different layout. You don't have to cut away as much as with the US cases.

Well, I'm always a bit afraid of screwing things up, furthermore, I like those other cases more. Not a big fan of having the games upside down. I know it's just me being picky.

It seems those custom cases are sold out on most stores for some odd reason. The shipping is really high too, since all of them come from USA.

The creator of those cases is user shadow fox here.  Drop him a message for best options.

I'm fine with just the spine trimming. I don't care that much about the back.

I have finished creating US size versions of my zelda covers.

You can download them from this MediaFire folder:

Awesome! With Wario Land 2 as well! Now all I need is those dang boxes. I'll take care of it before the years end, for sure!
