Xbox replacement cases?

I recently picked up some used games from the Blockbuster B2G1 sale and was wanting to get some cases to put them in because I hate the Blockbuster cases.

I remember the old thread we had (couldn't find it) that mentioned the Amaray "Grinch" Green cases available here:

Someone mentioned that these were not an exact match in color. I was wondering if the Amaray Lime Green cases were any better of a match, or worse.

Anyone try ordering these for replacement cases?

Or is my best bet just to get some from off eBay?

Thanks

Go back to blockbuster. I went back when I realized I wanted the green, and asked if they had any in the back I could buy. They guy came back and gave me 5 at no charge.

I did this same thing yesterday although I had to go to three different Blockbusters to get two extra cases. I need to find one that has a lot of extras, most of them seemed to be out. Generally, they've been really nice about it.

The Grinch-cases aren't an exact green ... but you can usually find cases up on Ebay (in quantities of 10 or 20). Most sellers will bilk you on shipping, but you might be able to talk them down if they have several auctions & you buy all of them. Just a thought.

Not the greatest deal, but you can get a 3 pack of cases for $4.95 here

The most cost effective way is still asking at BB. But like Finbogg said, you might have to go to several of them, and still might not score any. The fact is, BB employees throws these cases away, you just have to be there at the right time before the lot gets tossed out. If you ask, and they do have some, they'll give them to you; because it's garbage to them anyway. The only exceptions are when the BB employees are gamers themselves, and they probably would keep the cases then.

All the Blockbusters is my area are starting to sell the cases, if you ask for the green ones, they will sell you 5 or 6 for a $1. I asked last night, the girl gave me 3 but said next time you will have to pay
