PS1 Casing Recommendations
ShoothimNow:
I uprooted a majority of my PS2 games and went with slimline cases ~14 years ago. When I finally had the space to actually display all of those games, I either misplaced or threw out the covers (thus ultimately making those games loose). I've hated myself ever since for doing so. Keep the original artwork, people pay for it. Because of that, I would say continue to use the original glasstic cases. But if you find anything loose, I absolutely love the poly cases (thank you Nacho3 for the link!).
As TDIRunner just mentioned, I wouldn't uproot your entire collection to a new medium, the continuous work every time you find a new game is a complete waste of time. Longboxes (Sega CD/Saturn/some PS1) are just a stupid joke on how fragile they are. That's a different beast entirely.
Casing them in DVD styled cases... doing that is such a waste of space. I would advise against it as we really don't make covers here for them (unless you find a collector who is also doing so that also wants to share those covers)

Be less defensive. Nothing wrong with making your own covers for any size or any reason. We all have our preferences and methods. There's no wrong way to go about this.

Oh no reason to be less defensive, I am just stating the facts that people really don't make DVD styled cases. I have my own alterations of a case that I personally create the covers to. So for me to sound like I am saying 'using a different medium is stupid instead of the original' isn't what I am saying at all. I'm just saying that others won't really make you covers if it doesn't fit the greater good of the group here. So if you decide to go with some new case, people will most likely not really help you out with making a cover for it. Better time than ever to learn how to use Gimp / Photoshop :)

Fair enough and completely valid points. I actually agree with everything you've clarified. 👍
