FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

--- Quote from: Alex on July 25, 2011, 09:52:00 AM ---So I'm thinking of buying a few Universal Game Cases, but I need to know:
Do European SNES games fit in them? They have, as you may know, not the same shape as American ones. I've never actually seen an American SNES cartridge in real life, so I don't know if they differ in size.
Thanks in advance.

Height and thickness are the same, but the width of US SNES is bigger than EU/JAP SNES (exact same size) games.
And yes, all SNES games fit in the UGCs.
This shows the width difference:

Thanks a lot. I'll get some cases for my SNES collection soon, then!

Now to decide between the hinged case or stacking case. I'm betting the stacking case would take a hack job, but they have the tabs to hold manuals. hmm

I have bought hinged cases that have tabs to hold the manual. ;)

Would you happen to buy those online? And at a reasonable price? If it's not a huge secret, would you mind sharing a link :) ? ~50 cents per case is what I was looking to pay.

Yes I did, and no secret where (http://kauppa.cityplus.fi/fin/tuote/308-CO-28MM-BLACK/DVD_8_n_kotelo_mustaleveys_27,5_mm_paino_158gr), but more expensive than you want.
Don't know do they ship outside Finland/Sweden/Estonia, or at least it will be ridiculously expensive. ;D
