You mean slipcovers? The SMS carts came in plastic cases like Genesis carts. The SMS cards came in a little vinyl sleeve like TG/PCE cards, then are in a thin plastic case.

I haven't seen any sort of dust cover for the games. I really don't think they made any. I keep my loose carts in a Sega Genesis game cubby I got years ago since the games are pretty much the same size. Any cassette tape holder should be the same size as well. A computer company did make a dust cover for the first model SMS console if dust is also a concern for that though:

They should just go into the card slot on front of the Master System instead of the top cartridge bay if you have a model one. May need a good cleaning if they're not working that way. I think they removed the slot on later models of the console though.

No there were no sleeves for the carts since they came in plastic clamshells. Just the card games had vinyl sleeves.

alright thanks.. my system has the front loading slot, and I have a model # 1 I guess a cleaning is in store.

Must admit that I'm discouraged by Strider and Rampage, both games seem to just move slow.

also my "official" SMS controller :P
