Hello I'm new here and I wanted to thank everyone for making these AWESOME cases, you all really out do yourselves.

I'm a huge sega fan and I've taken interest in the Sega CD / Sega Saturn DVD (& Slim DVD) covers that have appeared on this website. The look great but    :(  they don't hold the manuals.... So I was wondering

1) does anyone know of a place that makes DVD like cases that would fit a Sega Saturn manual? I've looked all over the internet and can't find any cases that meant the size specifications....

2) since I can't find the case to fit the manuals I figured I'd ask if anyone has been resizing the manuals? Has anyone thought about recreating and resizing the manuals to fit in a standard DVD or Slim DVD box? Since such amazing things are happening with the covers I figured I would ask if a similar project is happening with the manuals?

They have quite a few sega manuals there.  They are raw scans and would require quite a bit of work to redo for a DVD case.  Cleaning them up would be a tall order.  However, I agree that this would be awesome.  I am not up to the task though as I am just starting on my first 2 covers.

We talked a lot about the manual stuff but it is quite a lot of work to scan a manual and clean it... You know many pages to do... ;D

There are some N64 manuals on our site made by a really dedicated person in the past....
2 + 3 = 23

if someone were willing to go as far as to take the staples out of their manuals and then scan a nice flat image of each page then that would be more workable.  Are you willing to scan your manuals like that?

Funny thing is... I already did scan several PC Engine manuals (with the staple removed), although I would assume the NES would be an easy system to start with because the manuals are usually only a couple of pages and they tend to not have a lot of art in them.

I almost want to glue a tiny led weight to the inside center of my custom cases to give the illusion of there being a manual inside.  The cases with just the discs inside just don't feel right...
