ADITIONAL INFO

These protective cases were picked up at www.gamechoice.com.hk.


Nintendo decided to scrap the cartridge casings for the Gameboy Advance. However there is some sort of "need" to put Nintendo cartridges into little plastic boxes and this need has given 3rd party companies the opportunity to earn an extra dollar. I ofcourse also wanted to protect my expensive GBA carts from dust and scratches and decided to pick up some of these cartridge cases from Game Choice Club, price US$4. The cases are made by a chinese company, I believe, called Cowboy. For your US$4 you get 3 cases, each in different colors, one the usual transperrant white, just like the old Gameboy cases, a pink (red) and a blue.

Just in case someone would be wondering how to put a cartridge into the case, the back of the box the cases came in, comes to the rescue as there's a picture explaining exactly how this is done. However if you do not understand the picture and do not read Japanese, well then I guess you're out of luck, sorry.

Well as you can see on the excellent picture below, some GBA carts actually fit better than others, one can't help but feel a bit ripped off in this situation.

Well these guys will do the job protecting your precious GBA carts when they're not in use, however if you leave the casings in the sun for too long, they will go out of shape and your GBA carts wont fit in there anymore, so don't do that. Oh and don't eat your GBA protective cases, or act silly when they're nearby.
