Thoughts on Double wide DVD cases

Oh, just forgot to mention them, they fit fine too.
Thickness is not problem with DVD cases as the thickness varies from 25-36mm (maybe even 48mm).
I use 27.5 mm cases, but

Any downsides in comparison to UGCs?
(yeah, I'm trying to make sure I get my moneys worth, lol)

For me the Pros of the DoubleWide DVD cases are:
1. You can get them from more than one place depending on where you live whereas there is only one spot to get the UGSs
2. The double wide DVD cases seem more solid than the UGC .. at the least the cases I got do.
3. The black color looks really nice (except I prefer the NES games in the clear cases but that's more personal preference)
4. The DVD cases have a clear sleeve which lets the amazing covers created by members of this site look really nice as opposed to the frosted sleeves of the UGC.
5. The DVD cases can come with manual clips and also fit manuals for SNES and N64 games while the UGCs do not have clips at all.
Basicially obtaining the DVD cases for the first time has made me want to convert my SNES collection from UGC to DVD case.
I decided to keep going with UGC for my NES games because I prefered how they look in a clear case and I already have about 60 games cased in them along with another 30 or so already modded and waiting for cover art and I bought 200 of them to start so I figure I might as well keep going with them to complete my NES collection.
I'd say both are pretty awesome and it's nice to have options.

Wait, they can't hold SNES/N64 manuals?

You can just lay the manual on the cart and close the case. There's no clips for them or anything though.
