Single Sleeved Square DVD cases - http://www.cddimensions.com/gen-pb1-black.html

Like the subject, it is an idea I had for a while for my old PS1 games. Even Dreamcast games could work with it if there were white ones.

Is this a good idea? It is cheaper then buying DVD cases.

Not sure if I want to do it seeing that I already have a ton of freebie full sized DVD cases.   :-\

I was thinking of using them for Game Boy cartridges, though I found only two vendors here in Poland. From one you could only buy them in wholesale quantities, and the other didn't respond to my mails, so I gave up on the idea.

I was actually thinking about this last night while I was lying in bed lol. If these were easily available I would definetly convert all my PS1 and DC games to these instead to stay closer to retail.

Yeah, that would be great. Especially considering they are made in "various colors" ... it would be awesome to get the 1/2 size cases in orange for the DC!  ;D

Just found the clear Square DVD cover ones - http://www.noblehousecd.com/Products/Soft-Plastic-Jewel-Case-with-Overlay__SoftJewelCase.aspx

Those are the ones I would get. Now that I managed to find them. Thanks to google that is. ^_^

Edit: It seems close enough.

this is how they look with Dreamcast covers in



note the cases I am talking about have a 16mm spine, for EU covers, not NA/JP covers.

While checking will the ship to Finland, on this page:
http://www.noblehousecd.com/Custom.aspx?id=b7985289-2192-402a-8974-d5c5b78cd4c0

I came across this piece of text:
Noble House accepts Purchase Orders from Approved Companies, Government Agencies, Public and Private Schools and Universities.

Hope they allow private persons to order

Wow, I missed that entirely. Excitement got in the way of my finding. I will make sure to keep track of that next time I look.

Sorry.

Wow, 200 of these?!? - http://www.blankmedia.ca/CD-PLASTIC-CASE-SINGLE-5MM-SUPER-CLEAR-WITH-OUTER-SLEEVE-200-PCS-Prodview.html

I read the site information. However, I don't have 200 PS1 games. Sadly they only sell huge amounts unless people are willing to pay for them with shipping and handling.

And they are CD like cases. Not square DVD cases.  :-\

To sheep2001: - Nice!
