I use those cases for all my cartridage based games except for the portables.
Whatever you do don't spend eBay money on them!
Here's where you buy them directly - http://www.mediashelving.com/Merchan...duct_Code=USCG
All the covers can be found here - http://www.thecoverproject.net/
If you aren't ready to buy the entire case of them go to The Cover Project link about, you'll always find people selling a couple for cheap in the forums.
They're not that good for VCS, Coleco, Intellivision, Vectrex, 5200, NES. They only seem to work SNES/ Genesis onwards, but most SNS collectors collect carts only anyway, so go figure why they don't fit the classic carts.

I don't care for them. I like boxed games when I get them and all, but they take up a lot of shelf space. I'd rather just have my loose carts on shelves in dust sleeves or bare so as to save room. If I'm gonna use up extra space, it's going to be for a real case. I'd rather go without otherwise.
I'd go with what ProjectCamaro said. Buy them in bulk from the website as it comes out really cheap that way.
As for the coverproject, I put off actually making my own covers for a long time because so many people said you really needed to use high quality paper and printers for the task. Eventually I printed out a test cover on my dad's old printer and was surprised at how nice it looked. Add to that the fact that when you put the cover in a Universal Game Case it glossens up the look of the cover as well. I've made covers for over 100 games and they are pretty easy to make(I'm pretty much computer illiterate) and it makes the game collection look great.

left to right, N64 custom case, UGC, Telegames UK/USA case, HES Aus case
The N64 case is kinda neat, remove the N64 cart holding strip with pliers, the fit most carts and the case is in height of VCS boxes. Spine is thicker than a VCS/Coleco box
The UGC is shorter than a VCS/Coleco box, they look a bit out of place within your original game boxes. Spine is perfect though.
The Telegames/HES boxes are from way back for VCS carts originally, perfect height, rounded spine. Still look good on the gaming shelf.
Wow, thanks guys!
