I have ordered my cases from www.thevideoshopper.com, after shipping they were cheaper then mediashelving which I wasn't really expecting.

it seems as if that website does not exist. is there any other places that are cheaper than media shelving?

I searched for this on Google, and saw a site called thevideostoreshopper.com, I'm thinking that is the correct site.

I can attest to the service at Video Store Shopper. I took a look at my quote from last year and it was $74.40 for a shipment of 100 cases in the United States. I believe I spoke on the phone with a sales rep initially -- easy/friendly to deal with. Was worth getting those cases.

I recently got 100 bit box cases from StoneAgeGamer. They are a bit more pricey (about 3x as much in the end), but I think they look a bit better after a cover is put into them. I have about 120 NES games, so the cost to case them all isn't too crazy after weighing the pros/cons.

Regular print paper looks higher quality against the black vinyl cases (bit box) over the clear cases in my opinion. The colors appear more vibrant on regular print paper against black instead of clear plastic. I also didn't have to cut up a bunch of tabs, and I don't have to worry about squishing the edges of manuals into the cases. They are a bit harder to put printed covers into the sleeve though.

If anyone here is looking to start printing covers, I recommend that you look at the vertical covers for SNES and custom covers for N64 games and such, I've noticed they seem to have more vibrant colors and will look a lot better if you are printing to regular paper. I really wanted to go with the traditional retail and horizontals at first, but once you actually put them all on a shelf, vertical looks much better and consistent, even if there is minor artwork loss from making them vertical. I'll probably end up switching them out.

+ Verticals ar more likely be done over Horizontals as they afe custom and thus give more leeway.

Ok since i don't think it has been put in the main post where do you buy gb/c/a cases? Especially so that they are relatively cheap....ds cases from nintendo no longer have the gba slot anymore from what the description on the item indicates :(

This is the standard Nintendo DS game case. The case holds one Nintendo DS game card. It does not include a Game Boy Advance cartridge slot. Gray is available individually or in packs of 5 or 10. Red is available individually or in packs of 5.

If you're in the UK and after replacement DS cases, CDS Media have some nice ones. They're repros of nice quality in the transparent PAL design, but the NTSC dimensions, which is dead handy for getting custom covers. And they're cheap (about £4 for 10).

Right now I only need 3 cases. Can someone sell me some? They're for two SNES carts and one N64 cart. And where can I find DS cases with the GBA slot for cheap? Nintendo's store only has the DS-only cases and I'm not going dumpster-diving at Gamestop.

For Sega Saturn / CD I buy cheap sports games from EvilBay or local shop for my games that need upgrade or cases.

Cases for XBOX, PS2, and Wii you can buy games for $1 at pawn shops which I'm pretty much just getting for the case.  I could care less about the game.  Then flip the loose game on EvilBay if you don't need it.

New to the site, recently decided to box up my small collection of about 30 or so loose discs. Started with Dreamcast and PS1 because they are CD cases. But know I have to look into DVD and UGC. I haven't bought from either but plan to very soon but just thought I'd share my finding and if anybody has experience I'd like to know.

Seems to carry just about every single DVD/CD need you could want, colors, number of discs, and sizes.

Not only does this have UGC, and sell them as singles, but they have a few other classic items available.

I use CheckOutStore.com for my DVD cases as well.  I highly recommend them.  However, DO NOT buy their cheap black DVD cases.  They are cheaper for a reason.  Get the premium DVD cases.  I think you only have the option for the black cases.  All of the other cases are only the higher quality premium if I remember correctly.  If you want the cheaper black DVD cases anyway, let me know and I can sell you a box of 50.  I'm not sure how much, but I will make it cheaper than theirs. 

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
