Is there any place to get these in single amounts?  The media shelving site only sells them in lots of 100.



if anybody is looking for small quantitys of UGC's the racketboy store sells them singly for $1.59, unfortunatly the most you can order is 20, but if thats all you need...

EDIT: ive just visited the CDS media site, they are currently sold out of the DS cases, emailed them to see if they'll be getting any more,awaiting the reply

EDIT2: ...and i'm still waiting 2 months later!, however i MAY have found an alternate source, i dont want to get anyones hopes up, so i'll post back when i actually have them in my hands, probably friday, monday at the latest...

Is there still no way to get the black cases? I think they look way better especially for genesis games.

Just use Genesis cases for Genesis games. I'm sure you can find old sports games that don't need their cases anymore.

I wish I could find a place selling new Genesis cases. It's tough to find them in good condition.

That's insane!

Yes it is!  I wish some dodgy Chinese factory would produce some replicas.

The thing is, those a VERY likely already a China-made product that they're selling :/

They're probably just marking them WAAAY up.

Weren't those Genesis/Mega Drive cases originally produced in China as well?

So we just would need to find the supplier and ask if he still has the molds and would produce some for us (I mean 5000 up by that).

Or we just continue to use UGCs for .60 cents per case..... ;)
2 + 3 = 23

The DS cases are back in stock at CDS media

http://www.cdsmedia.co.uk/Gaming/Nintendo_DS_Replacement_Game_Case_Clear.aspx

cool!, my email must have got lost, the thing is i recieved some Euro-style cases yesterday so now im torn between those and the cds media ones ???

if anybody is looking for some EU ds cases the ones i got from here;

http://www.rivierapublishing.co.uk/acatalog/Games_Cases.html

are pretty much identical to original ds cases, and pretty cheap too, i got 100 for £53, and if your wondering, the drop down box to select which country you want them to deliver too is a very long list!

if you plan on ordering more than 100 they do have a sister site;

http://www.wholesale-media.com/acatalog/Games_Cases.html

but the minimum order is £100

they do exist, but ridiculously expensive!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-NEW-Sega-Mega-Drive-Game-Cases-Replacement-case-/200599670037


i emailed the guy about a bulk discount on 100, £260 inc. shipping!,
i was saving up to do this...then UGC's reappeared :D

For a pack of 100 at CDS I paid £42. 24 for the cases and 18 for shipping.
At first my country was not selectable when trying to checkout. But when I emailed they added my country (the netherlands) to the list. So I think they will probably send to any country, but you just need to email them.

does Arseen know about this? i believe he lives in your part of the world, he was pretty excited when i first linked to them, but then found that they didnt deliver outside of the uk, they must have changed their policy on that.

the £53 for the cases from riviera included £38 for the actual cases, £8 VAT and £5.50 next day delivery, which i forgot id selected!, have to look into what cds would charge...
