That site is selling UGCs for double the price (80$) and they sell PS3 Xbox 360 and Wii cases in packs of 100 for 40$. Not sure how safe it is, i just found it. It might be good if your desperate for UGCs. But wait! It says it has clips for Manuals but no outside sleeve. That sucks. Case dimensions are 7 1/4"H x 5 3/8"W x 1 1/4"

Not that it is a first choice but if you really can't wait you could still get these cases. Simply print the cover 1-3% smaller, place it on the outside of the case, and then put a clear contact type paper on the outside. Not sure exactly how it would look but it gives you an alternative and solves a problem for people who want manuals that stay snugly in place.

Why on earth would they sell ones with a manual holder (a thing I'd always wanted for UGCs) but without a sleeve?

Those "new" cases also have a bit different dimensions.

Orig. UGC: 7 1/4"H x 5 1/4"W x 1"D

"New" useless UGC: 7 1/4"H x 5 3/8"W x 1 1/4"

I don't know if those small differences would count for our covers especially since as an european the metric system is a bit hard to understand. ;D

You mean Imperial or US  ;) We europeans are the ones that use Metric system.
No trouble understanding that.

Anyway the height difference is insignificant:
5 3/8" = 13,6525 cm
5 1/4" = 13,335 cm

So the difference is 3,175 mm

Width difference is more: 6,35 mm, but that means you can store thicker stuff in there.

But yeah why oh why don't these come with sleeve.

My 2 cents:
a) The price is outrageous for a plastic case.
b) The metric system is easier and natural for every human kind. In continental America I bet only the US and probably Canada use the inches/yards system, but not the rest.

I think Canada is more sophisticated and they use Metric system, least where I visited the speed limits were in km/h

I am a Canadian simpleton, and we use the metric system.

I'm from the US and I use both.  I  studied Geography for the last 3 years and places are always mapped out using both measurement standards. It's not hard to convert from one to the other and I can usually do it in my head now (or at least get pretty close). I usually use the US system when talking to people though or they have no idea whatsoever what I'm talking about! Haha

I'm from the UK and also use both.  Cars are all in MPH, and length/height is interchangable  feet/inches for cm/m.
