Anyone find anywhere else that does UGC'S internationally, The Video Store Shopper dont seem to like to reply to emails asking about quotes for shipping on a box? been using racketboy to buy smaller lots, but im gona need alot more. Ebay isnt very good for it either paying more per case than racketboy alot of the time double, triple or quad the price of racket, shame we dont have a cover project person who ships international for less of a mark up :D

I feel your pain. I'm in the uk and have to keep using 8 way DVD cases. It's by far the cheapest method. I'm not sure if UGC's are protected my patents. I guess they are. Otherwise it's business loan time and discussions with an injection moulding company is the next step. If I didn't spend every penny I had on my house deposit I would have gone down this route. I think there is massive market over her in Europe. Just takes someone with the cash to get on it. Wonder how much a container load would be and shipping.

Or a trip to the us. Get as many purchased as possible and delivered to a location then box up into large parcels and ship via ups etc to a uk address.

This is all a bit extreme. Racketboy's option if he is still happy to assist may still be the best if it has to be UGC's.

I know I'd pay £1 each.

I was loooking in to buying some DS cases for my Gameboy Advance and Color games and I noticed on the Nintendo store page they say the cases do not come with Gameboy Advance slots. Has anyone noticed this. Is it in fact true?

No prob!  They smell funny and are sorta fragile, but they get the job done and are great for modifying since they're REALLY soft (i.e. easy to cut).

Well I was kind of hoping for cases with the same quality as the ones that come with ds games, cases that don't "smell funny" or are not "fragile."
But that's a bummer I guess..  :-\

If that's what you want, then OEM cases are really your only option :(
