DS Cases and covers from The Cover Project. It's pretty easy to modify a DS case to accept a regular Gameboy Game, and GBA obviously fit. They have a really nice guide on The Cover Project for various ways to modify a DS case to fit handheld games:

The one note I add is that I put my Gameboy games in upside down, so that the beveled part will be under the clips, similar to a GBA game. It does look a little messy on the inside, but when you have a cover on it the whole thing looks nice. And really, you're not looking too hard on the inside anyway.

I put my loose gameboy carts in one of those plastic snes cases. It works fine and alot will fit in one case so it saves room.

Interesting. thecoverproject is so great. So where do you get extra DS cases? Are they cheap?

You can get empty DS boxes from Nintendo for roughly $1 a piece.

Similar thinking: You could take a CD jewel case and just take out the tray so that it's just the front and back clear plastic. I think that would be deep enough to keep a Gameboy game inside. And then could crop the artwork to CD artwork dimensions too.

DS cases run $1 for 1, $4 for 5, $7 for 10. I picked up about 50 to case all my Gameboy stuff, and I'm very happy with the way it looks. It gives a very nice presentation on the shelf with the DS games.
