Not a problem. Wish you would have needed them six months ago 'cause I had about 70 or so I just didn't need anymore. Ended up taking them to a local independent game store and getting about $10 in trade for them.

Honestly just don't think you'll find any exactly like the official ones anymore. Not without buying used ones on eBay or somewhere. Just isn't the demand there once was for them. Would have been a totally different story if Sony continued the same case style with the PS4, but the PS3 cases are basically like trying to find PS2 cases with the memory card slot in them now.

SuperDerpBro:
DAM YOU!! hehe

Im gonna try best lowball offering people on eBay selling cheap sealed games for a bit. Then cave and buy the knock offs if i dont get anywhere :D :/

EDIT: Or maybe buy the black ones. I really like the way they look. But i have lots of games in mint cases that dont need to be changed.... so.. iduno! lol

Years ago I bought some off eBay that were very close. They transparency was pretty much perfect, but the spine was too narrow. The spine was the same width as a blue ray disc which is slightly narrower than a PS3 case.

Honestly, your best bet is to go to GameStop and ask if they have any extras they can give you. I only have maybe 3 or 4 PS3 games that don't have their original case, and all of my replacements have come from GameStop for free. Some places may not give them to you for free, but at the very least, they should have a handful of PS3 games in their original case that are priced at $2 or less. That's about what you are going to pay for cases on eBay anyway.

Quazimoto:
LOL.

Honestly, I really like the way those black ones look. The clear cases were great when there was a cool inlay printed on the artwork, but when it's just plain, I've always preferred black cases. They look especially sharp IMO, with the PS3 logo bar on the front.

TDIRunner's GameStop suggestion is worth a shot too. Worse that happens is they tell ya no.

SuperDerpBro:
Heh i would try the gamestop thing but everything they have is absolute trash. Almost everything they sell looks like its been handled by a minimum of 36.76 5 year olds. :P

Not much better then what im replacing. Guess it couldn't hurt to try next time im near one! hehe

EDIT: Hmm $46 CAD for 50 cases. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-50-Pk-14-mm-Black-Media-Storage-Box-Blu-Ray-PS3-Holder-PlayStation-3-Case/182093359224?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

I might do that and put every game that does not have inner art in a black case. I have a few 360 games in standard black DVD cases and it isnt the end of the world. I actually like the way they look on their own. But they look a little funny next to tons of green cases
