Custom Game Cases - Full Product Line Overview

There are many different sources of cartridge games cases, let’s take a closer look at one that caught my eye: the cases designed and made by Custom Game Cases. Also known as Shadow Fox cases.

At 11:54 I point out what I assumed was a minor print quality problem. It has since been pointed out to me that these lines are a part of the original box's art aesthetic (zelda.gamepedia.com/File:Orac...) that I had forgotten about. I apologize for my error. Thankfully that means I found no other quality control issues in these cases! Thank you.

I really hope to be able to take a look at other brands of game cases in the future. My bottom line at the time of this video’s production is as follows. Most blank plastic cases can be sourced for a dollar or under, especially when purchased in bulk. Custom Game Cases are quite a bit more expensive than just a generic Universal Game Case. What can you expect for that extra expense? Ideally, the quality and design of each of these cases are superior to less expensive offerings. I can’t yet compare the differences between brands, but I can vouch for the build quality and the design of each case shown. Secondly, one thing that I’ve learned from my DIY videos is that some people are more comfortable buying a completed product that they don’t have to customize themselves. In that respect, Custom Game Cases would be a better choice than unlabeled UGC’s. And their finished and labeled upgrade is only a pittance more than buying an unlabeled Custom Game Case.
Buying cases for a cartridge collection is a high-end way to display your games. I can easily justify the expense of any of these cases on a singular basis, but to do a whole collection (through Custom Game Cases) would be a massive expense, and expense that I can’t personally justify at my income and savings level. But as I stated, I have every intention of picking up a small number of these for a variety of handheld games and for my Virtual Boy games. I won’t be getting any NES, SNES, or N64 cases. My Master System / Genesis collection is thankfully already CIB, other than Zero Tolerance and Virtua Racing.
I am aware of a few different brands of cases. Let me know if there is one that you'd like me to try to take a look at.

And thank you for taking a look. They have hopes to design more cases in the future, but once these main systems are taken care of, everything else is pretty niche. I mean, how many Jaguar cases could they expect to sell? I don't have any Universal Game Cases, myself. My understanding is that they were created for business use (rental stores), and the collector market is sort of keeping them relevant. As far as I know they are designed to hold SNES, all Genesis cart styles, N64, and disc games. Are there any others that fit in there naturally?

Hmm... Wish I'd discovered this video a little earlier than I discovered your video on the bitboxes... My childhood was more during the GameCube/Wii eras, but I largely grew up on a SNES and other assorted retro games. I only recently started actively collecting and decided it's high time I got proper cases for all those loose cartridges that are getting a little too dusty for my liking. But, I digress. I bought a pair of GameBoy Bitboxes for Kirby's Dreamland 2 and Metroid 2 as something of a test run to see if I like them, but I think these hard plastic DS-sized cases are more what I wanted. That said, I saw a comment further down that you prefer some of the bitboxes over these custom cases. I was wondering which of these two brands you might recommend for GameBoy, SNES, and N64? THANK YOU!

@TopSpot123 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you as well! This is strictly my personal preference and I can't even articulate the reasons why I may prefer one over the other, but here it goes: Game Boy, Game Gear, Genesis - Custom Game Cases NES - BitBox SNES, N64 - BitBox, but only barely. The Custom Game Cases are very good. Those are my preferences, but I'd gladly recommend either product line. They are each very fine products. I hope you enjoy whatever you choose!

I feel that the original protective cases are part of the "complete" game. I'm not a boxed collector but i do like having all the paperwork and any original dust covers. I'm reluctant to buy these because i don't want to keep boxes of original protectors set aside, i wish they made cases that accommodated all that so i could keep it all together. Do you have any thoughts on that?

@TopSpot123 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, I am actually on the same page with you there. All my Game Boy games have their cases, and any SNES game that included a dust cover when I purchased it, still has it. I currently store my game manuals separately from my cartridges, so in one sense these custom cases bring some parts of my collection closer together. But as you said, then I would have to store the original case/dust cover somewhere, because it isn't like I would get rid of them. At one point the owner of Custom Game Cases posted a poll to see what future case designs his customers would like. At least one of the options was redesigned cases that would accommodate a cover/dust sleeve (other options included EA Genesis game cases, etc.). It's a small consolation at this moment, but at least you know the owner is also aware that some people have this preference. To be frank, that's why I have no reservations being 'all in' on buying the Virtual Boy cases whenever they are restocked. That case doesn't conflict with the cartridge's dust cover at all! Thank you very much for your thoughtful comment and I hope you enjoyed the video.

Personally, my solution would be to use the GBA cases as they are more similar in size to original HuCard cases. They don't fit these slots either, but the game can be tucked under a manual clip in those cases to keep it secure. But that's just my opinion of course. Take care!

They are pretty nice. Since the N64 has a relatively small game count and a lot of nostalgia, a lot of collectors try for a full game set. So, Custom Game Cases has a listing for a full case set with limited edition white cases and matching white spines. They look like overgrown 3DS cases to be honest! www.customgamecases.com/online-store/FULL-NTSC-White-Set-296cases-p146287459

The product looks great but the shipping cost for Europe is just crazy and doesn't stop getting alot higher even if you order a lot of them ... Cost of the case is doubled by the shipping, they should sell it abroad by amazon with normal shipping rates !

@TopSpot123 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, it's too bad the owner doesn't have a way to sell out of other countries. His cases are produced in China and are sent all the way to the US for him to sell. If he had other outlets, he could sell to other continents as a more reasonable price.

They are expensive to ship to the uk, but they are worth every penny. No better repro case out there.

@@davidanthony9335 I just ordered a bunch of N64 ones and some SNES and GB ones. Can't believe the shipping cost but bit the bullet and thought at least it doesn't cost _more_ than the cases themselves lol. I think I blew it on the few SNES ones I ordered tho not thinking that their cases would be for their square US SNES carts, whereas PAL SNES have the super famicom style carts so am not sure if they will fit in their cases. Do you know if UK/PAL SNES/Super Famicom carts fit in SNES boxes? I've asked them but aware I'll probably be waiting a while for an answer from what I've heard (which is fine, so long as it gets clarified/sorted before the order is shipped). I've asked them if there's any chance they can do the UK PAL version cover slips for at least Zelda OoT and MM if not all the other N64 ones I ordered (probs about 20 in all) if they're of comparable scan/print quality to the US ones as I prefer the PAL box art out of nostalgia (even tho this time round I'm playing on a modded NTSC-J system lol). I hope they can but won't be surprised if they say no. Will have to see!

@@Tom-qo4mz I have no idea I'm afraid, I ordered a bunch of blank Sega Megadrive cases, wasn't even aware that SNES and Famicom cartridges differed in size! I did see on Facebook that they're responding to social and emails again, so hopefully you'll get a response soon. In regard to cover artwork, I haven't ordered anything from these guys personally but from what I've seen their covers are pretty spot on. Alternatively, search for sad-alice on eBay. I've ordered several repro covers from there and they have all been excellent. 👍

Joel, check Ebay. There are people that do some pretty nice reproductions. Idk if the cases are reproduction or just the artwork but I've seen them on there.

Problem with CGC is they charge you up the ass for the printed art inserts. Until/Unless they sell just the cases, it's a waste of money.

@letsplayclassicgames5024 3 жыл бұрын

They do sell blank cases as of now anyways. And it's only a dollar more for the artwork, I really dont feel that's unreasonable considering how much ink costs.

As far as I know, Custom Game Cases sells their cases wholesale to other seller sites, who likely print their own covers. This includes Game Case King, and according to the pictures, Gaming Relics too. Regardless of which site you buy from, you should receive the same high build quality case.

As I mentioned, I don't have any other import games, but I'm told Famicom games fit well in Universal Game Cases, and might fit in the NES case and perhaps even the Sega Genesis cases. But I'm not currently aware of anyone selling specific Famicom game cases with a printed cover.

The one thing you don't want to do is have a video game box that can hold different type of video game cartridge for different consoles it's not artistic enough I mean how you supposed to display that and then the cover of that box are you supposed to split it between the two different video games from different consoles or device? You see that makes no sense whatsoever one box one game one art that's it that's how it has to be no matter what otherwise what kind of collector are you?
