Where is a good place to buy empty GBA cases? The only place I found was customgamecase but they've been out of the empty cases for a very long time.

I'm specificly looking for cases to put gba games and I want them without pre printed artwork. I know the old version of DS cases had the gba slot so as long as I can reliably get those too I'm ok with that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Custom game cases is the best place.  Shoot him a message if you want blank cases, either via his website, or to Shadowfox here at the cover project.

At $2.50 a piece with no quantity discount, CustomGameCases gets way too expensive for larger collections. I suggest buying large lots of shovelware DS games on eBay which will cost way less than that and most will have the GBA slot.

Shadowfox offers quantity discounts.  Just read Sheep's post above and follow those directions.

When I was buying cases for my GB games last year, he was going through his "never answers customer emails" phase. Maybe it's gotten better since then.

Hi there!

So the blank cases will be back up on the site here (hopefully) this week sometime. I've taken this time to update the images of the blank cases as well as get the bulk blank case prices adjusted.

If you send me an e-mail my Wife has been trying to pitch in and help, she's been doing the e-mails about 2-3 days a week. (We are getting like 60 e-mails a day)

I DO have them in stock, (The GB,GBC, GBA cases) and I plan on creating a GBA/ DS case as well. (Time frame on this one is TBD)
\"Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, Reprove a wise man and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser, Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.\" -Proverbs 9:8-9

So good to hear what case you're planning on making next, Shadowfox!

I didn't know you were planning to make DS cases that hold a Nintendo DS game and a Game Boy Advance game. I'm looking forward to them. Those were the first DS cases Nintendo made when the Nintendo DS was first released back in 2004. Nintendo no longer makes DS cases with the Game Boy Advance slot. The DS cases Nintendo makes have gotten worse. The left side of the case has a hole and it's a recycle symbol. Those cases are stupid. I cannot explain how much I hate how game companies are doing this with their cases now. They say they are going green. The truth is, they are just saving money by making cases with less plastic.
