Nice! I didn’t know where the case came from and was surprised when my new exA games came without it. (Akai Katana came from a European collector so that makes sense).
If you do another run, you can put me down for 20.
Done! Thank you.
I am going to make another batch of exA box protectors (long kit boxes).
Let me know if you're interested and how many you want.

Speaking of Exa plastic boxes, is there anything folks can point me to for storing the cartridges in? Something like a Shockbox or BitBox but sized for Exa cartridges would be ideal.

I use shockboxes from southtown-homebrew.com (Looks nice with my Neo Geo collection)
Glue in some anti static foam inside and use a cart as a template for the cutout for a perfect fit.
Add custom art and presto!

I'm always down for Shockboxes. Maybe a 3D printed insert could be placed inside the case to center and hold the Exa cart properly.

I use these clear plastic snapcases for my Famicom and MSX cartridges. Something like this for Exa carts would be marvelous. Shockboxes are great but they do take up a lot of shelf space relative to the size of the carts.

These famicom cart cases look really cool, where to get these?

Let me see if can track them down again - I bought them many years ago.

This was the original writeup on them that I saw:

The RetroDaily website that was producing them no longer lists them on their site unfortunately. This site seems to have them now:

Thanks wondering if exa carts would fit into the audio cassette cases, those have label holders as well.
They're a bit fatter than cassette tapes, so they won't fit.

Looks like Namcot Famicom cases fit the Exa carts pretty well.

this seems like the best option imo, would it rattle though or pretty snug in there?Looks like Namcot Famicom cases fit the Exa carts pretty well.

I ordered some in (they cost around $3 each before shipping), so I'll report back after they arrive.

Reporting back on using Namcot Famicom game cases for storing Exa Arcadia games. Can’t say I can recommend them for two reasons:
1) The cart is too small to fit the holders inside the case so it’ll just bang around inside.
2) When the case is closed the “Namcot” manual holder will press down on the cart. While I suppose that stops the cart from moving, it also applies pressure to the cart and could damage the label.

A bit of foam and some cutting should make those Namcot cases really functional.
