So, I made a trade online for a copy of the DSi-only game, Foto Showdown.  As you may know, the (few) DSi-only titles shipped in white game cases (also, the cartridges are white).  Unfortunately (and I did not know this at the time, or I wouldn't have made the trade, but I feel silly bringing it up at this point) when I received the game, it was in a normal black DS game case.

I contacted Nintendo via phone to see if I could order a replacement white case with no luck.  Anyone ever seen white DS game cases for sale?

Never for retail sale by itself. I personally have 1 case for it but it may be more trouble than it's worth getting it to you bob. My suggestion would be to either make a custom 3DS case insert or live with the black case.

Never seen one, but if I ever come across one or if I ever buy a game that has, I'll try remember to inform you.

I want all games in same color cases.

Let me be the judge of that.  Where do you live and keep a key under your mat. :D

I considered the custom 3DS cover route.  Pretty much all it'd need would be a shrunken spine.  I could slip the original cover in behind System Flaw (the only other DSi-only game I have and plan to get unless Ghostwire ever comes out) for safe keeping in case I ever come across a white case... hmmm..
