Hopefully I remembered the right name for the company....


Anyways, I picked up a package of 3 of these 3-pak cases for GBA carts. They are very similar to the original clear snap cases that came with GB carts...only they are like three glued together LOL Anyways, these are pretty sweet and hopefully I can find more of these, given I only picked up one package of them and it was on clearance. :( I've held off from buying those Intec or whatever slipcases for the carts...and I'm glad I did. Officially licensed products = :rocker:


Pick these up, good stuff!

ALS Industries did the Genesis cartridge storage case...so that's probably the right name for the company.

Black case that holds about 15 carts? I have two of those :)

I always have liked their handheld system storage cases (fabric outside with usually a hard plastic casing inside).

Mine has a plastic covered particle board, and a plastic tray inside. I think it should hold about thirty carts...not exactly sure but it's three rows wide and each row holds a fair number of carts :)

ALS has been around for a long time... they make pretty good quality, liscensed cases for Nintendo systems now (along with other things I'm sure).

Yes. I'm not sure if my ALS Carrying Case for my original style Game Boy was licensed at that point...I don't think it was. Anyways, I'm glad to see that some quality GBA cart cases out there. The ones I saw in stores normally were like those slide-in cases that I think Sony CD-IT blank audio cassettes were coming in for a while.

I just checked on my 'Official' Sega Genesis cart case, and it was made by a company called Dynasound. It's black hard plastic with a lid, and fits I think around 15 carts (5X3) in one direction, or a few more I believe if you put them in the other direction...something like that.


With these GBA cases though, they come in 3 paks and each holds 3. So for say, $5 you can hold 9 carts. Buy 10 of these packages, and you've got cases for 90 carts. I imagine (going from how many NES carts I own...400 or so), I wouldn't really need to buy that many of these... Just wish I had some money (I'm broke now) to load up on these, in case they go out of production. I don't want to get stuck with buying some other crappy case.

THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE IF NINTENDO DIDN'T STOP INCLUDING SNAP CASES WITH THE CARTS. :angry:
