I was looking for an alternative to the EA Genesis case to store Atomiswave and STV carts. Mostly cause I didn’t want to go all over town looking in pawn shops for cheap and crappy EA Genesis title to get a case from. I was at a local electronic store (for the Montreal users, it was Addison), and found a black VHS tape box that does the job. They’re extra cheap (49 cents each, and probably even cheaper in the US) and hold an STV cart (face down, with a bubble wrap to protect the label) perfectly, as well as Atomiswave carts (with a half cut of one of the VHS holder ring). Both fit without any rattling around.
Obviously, art wise, you’re kind of limited as it’s a 1/3 sleeve. But price wise, I’d say that it’s really hard to beat. I know online there’s full overlay ones (but not in the store I went to), so those might be a better option if you ordering them online anyway. For the ones interested, I made a PS template for both Atomiswave and STV for the 1/3 sleeve art (hit me up and I’ll email them your way).
Here’s what it looks like with art and with a cart in it.
