FAQ: Where can I buy cases?

[Dr.Agon]

I know now Thank you.

These are clear, but seem to be US sized.

both the cases (CDS and Riviera) are clear.
the ones from CDS, as far as i can tell, are the same size as American DS cases, certainly all the covers sized for US DS that ive downloaded fit perfectly, (my scissor skills, however, arent so perfect!).

as posted earlier, the ones from Riviera are almost perfect copies of European DS cases, put them side by side and its almost impossible to tell the difference. the spines on the covers from here dont quite fit perfectly, but im not nearly as OCD about that stuff as some of the people here are!, you could probably edit the covers to fit, but im not gonna bother!

i do have pictures, just not with me. i can post some tonight if you'd like?

Yeah the riviera ones are EU sized, which are too wide IMHO, because the limited space I have for my game collection.

Thus I prefer US sized cases, which the CDS cases seem to be.
I'd prefer original black Nintendo ones, but quess I can like with clear ones aswell.

If you have the CDS and genuine US cases I'd like comparisison shots.

luckily i double checked my collection and found that my copy of nintendogs is an American one, so heres a link to the pictures;

you can look through them at your leisure, or if your too lazy...

Thank you for the pictures.

Actually I'm starting to lean towards the clear cases instead of black ones...

[Dr.Agon]

having only been able to get clear cases so far, and the fact that all my other cases are clear, (ds and ugc), kinda leaves me with no choice but to get clear ones in the future

WARNING..... WARNING...... WARNING...... WARNING
I just bought a box of 50 DS case from Nintendo of America, since my old box of DS cases was all used.
THEY REMOVED THE GBA SLOT


So if you want a GBA slot case, do not buy from Nintendo of America website.
Now I'm stuck with 50 DS only boxes....

And don't buy DS cases on Ebay.. they are so flimsy and break, not worth a penny

Does CDS deliver to the US? I would prefer to have these clear cases and seeing how Nintendo's cases are out of the question now, is there anyway that they would deliver here. It looks like they only accept British pounds.

i know they will deliver to the rest of europe, you just have to email them first, so maybe if you email them they might, delivery charges might be v.high, but no VAT to pay!

[5potatoes]

Yeah there's that and the cases are a little bit more than half the price of the ones from Nintendo of America. So I'm more willing to pay the higher postage if need be.

So I contacted Wholesale Media, and they said that they do ship to Canada through Fedex.
So you can get 100 DS cases for 38 Euro, which is about 47.7432 U.S.

Which is really, really cheap, even with a 20$ Shipping.

Here the website address.

Those are for Transparent DS cases, and they seem to have many other type of covers too.

That site is mondo busted 

[sheep2001]

The link is.  You can access the site fine from it's bare URL.  However, it's a bit too similar to riviera publishings site in content and look.  Looks like they just cloned the whole site.

[wiggy]

There are tons of sites that look just like that. Hell, Media Shelving's site is pretty damned close.


Man, I'd LOVE to have my collection in those, and they're only about 50 cents a pop before shipping. About the same as UGCs. But, I'd hate to have to mod a ton of cases all over again to fit non-GBA games and all the larger accessories that I've made double and triple cases for :-/

as far as im aware the wholesale media site is the sister site to riviera, if you order more than 100 or so they prompt you to go to the wholesale site, prolly saved a bunch of cash just having one site designed, then tweaking it a bit to get the other site!
