I do not.  I'll try to remember to do some measurements soon unless someone beats me to it.  Having said that, the slip for the GameCube GameBoy player disc case is the same as the Japanese ones.

Japanese gamecube slip covers???

There is no such thing.

Yeah the cases are the same size as the American Game Boy Player disc case, BUT... none of the Japanese GCN cases (nor the GB player) have the clear plastic to slide a sleeve into. The cases are just clear hard plastic with a slot for a disc and manual. The only artwork is a cardboard sleeve slipcover. I prefer all my Japanese GC games in US cases with US style sleeves.

I took it as he wanted to recreate the cardboard sleeve slipcovers.  It wouldn't be hard to do.

Probably so. Just wanted to make sure. The Japanese GC cases are nice and cute and all, but I actually hate the fact that they have those easily damaged slip covers.

Yes I want to make some slipcovers/sleeves as I just bought a lot of them and some do not have sleeves but has the manual and I thought with some glue I would be able to make a slipcover/sleeve with some more durable paper like cardstock of sorts but I was trying to figure out the size as putting it together on PS would be easy but their size is a little weird.

Also I now their cardboard sleeve but I always call them a slipcover. I also prefer the jp release cases.

FYI, Retroprotection actually sells box protectors for Japanese GC cases.  So you could do a combo of these plus your printed sleeves. I bought some of these for my Japanese GC games and they work great.

IIRC, weren't he manuals typically placed facing outward in the case so that you see the "cover" when you slide the slipcover off?

I knocked up a template.  Should print at the correct size.
