I may do an introductory price of $.99 each for a little while, but it may be $1.29 each after that.

You can only buy from Shopper Inc in whole lots of 100, since they essentially open up the case from the vendor, toss in your p-slip, and reseal it. That's how you can get them at such a low unit price.

One thing you might want to do, Racket, is offer bulk discounts.

Well, I'm gonna have to find the wholesaler, these other places are getting them from to do that.
Right now, I'm just buying from them and splitting them up.

The name of what I guess is the company is "Protect Game," or at least thats what it says on the casing. Probably Chinese?

i left 2 small tabs on the the spine side so that the game doesnt slide out when i open it, so basically, just cut out 75% of the 2 leftmost tabs.

also, ill point out that while cutting 30 cases for nes games, i ruined about 6 or 7 and stabbed myself pretty badly. dremel will be safer but ugly, knife (boxcutter) will be cleaner and more dangerous.
Pic?
and dont use pliers like somebody else suggested. theyre not designed to be broken out, they need to be cut out.

I know pliers aren't exactly ideal to use, but if you lack the right tools, it will get the job done. And if you manage to accidentally rip out the plastic underneath the tabs, it can be covered easier with a cover :) It's about as safe and ugly as using a Dremel.

I've been modifying a bunch of the cases to fit my NES games over the last few days. It is a royal pain. Not easy to do no matter how you go about it. But, cutting is definitely the way to go. Dremel is unwieldy and pliers rip up the boxes too easy (and really don't make the job go that much quicker).

What I've been doing is cutting out everything but the two flat parts on the top and bottom, the small center tab on the left, and obviously the spots where the case clips together. If you put the game in with a dust jacket it fits very snug.

Question about these Blu-Ray Cases - are they based on US dimensions (Region 1)? Other regions have different sizes with thicker spines...

I'm planning on converting all of my PS3 games to Blu-Ray cases. Just started doing a cover for Warhawk - on the same shelf that can only hold 30 PS3 cases, it can hold 40 Blu-Ray cases, so not only will it save space, but they just plain look cooler =P

Huh, never realized that Blu-Ray cases were thinner than PS3 cases. I guess it makes sense, since they don't have to accomodate a manual. But I don't own any Blu-Ray movies, since I think they're overpriced and the case is hideous (was it necessary to make it blue?).
