We all got it, the one game missing a cover
Collection owned by Phantom5800
You can try your luck at the request forum.
But some things are to rare to have scans.
For whatever reason, the cover you need is missing. Wile buying a used Xbox game from Gamestop, they were missing the cover, but instead had a generic one with standard text, so i thought that making similar ones with the same spine to match the ones with covers.

So far only Gamecube and Gameboy Temporary covers are finished, each with a variety of sizes to fit different cases.

Comes in covers that fit: Standard DVD, Slim case DVD, UGC, and 8-Disc Poly Case. Also in B&W to save ink.

Comes in DS Case, UGC with Vertical and Horizontal Borders. Also in B&W to save ink.
The Gameboy one comes without the solid coloration for anyone looking to store a Gameboy in a UGC

USE
Game names can ether written on after you print it out with a marker or something, or you can use Photoshop or MS Paint.
        The slim cases can be used to save space and 8-Disc Poly case can be used to store multiple discs or memory cards. UGC can hold extra wire. or thy can be used to prop up games on a shelf by putting them in empty cases. Use these for whatever purpose.
          I plan on geting one made for every system that covers are available for on this site with Standard DVD, Slim case DVD, UGC, and 8-Disc Poly Case and B&W for all CD based consoles, UGC and DS for all portable, and UGC and 8-Disc Poly Case for all Cart Based Consoles. Ill do the Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Sega Consoles, if anyone wants to help, that would be appreciated.

They definitely work REALLY nice, certainly a lot better than using notebook paper or something.

I like the idea a lot and want to see it fleshed out just a tad more. Perhaps have them all as .psd files with placeholder text in a few spots so the user can adjust things themselves with matching fonts, etc?

Good Idea, Perhaps have the font in one off the logo for the system? Ill get to that soon, But ill still keep up the .PNG files for anyone without Photoshop.

Great idea! All I would need is to Photoshop text onto the spine and front and I'd be happy. My PC/PS1/PS2 games need this the most :)

Doesn't have to be a font that fancy, just something simple like Arial would probably work fine, maybe with a drop shadow or something.

This is a pretty good idea. I've been boxes my GBA games, but it has been going slowly in getting cases. At any given time I have a blank case or two with no cover printed out yet. I could just print two of these off and move them from case to case as needed.

Then remember to add the fonts for download, or just use some generic font that everyone has.
Other than that, it's a great idea, though I probably won't be using them.

very cool idea.
I could REALLY use this with my PSOne games, I have way to many that are naked right now.

The moment you said "hold extra wire" I realized just how useful this would be. I'd love to have this so I can have a cover to store cased up SNES controllers. The idea of temporary case covers is also very sweet. This needs to be expanded upon. I know there are more ways this could be useful.
