Disney VHS cases for loose carts- anyone else do this?

[Blazing Lazers]

I was wondering something: does anyone else here seek out the hard white plastic cases from old Disney VHS releases for use as a case with various loose cartridges? I've done so with several loose multicarts, and have always been meaning to get around to doing the same for other loose titles. They fit a surprising variety of cartridge sizes- I've had no difficulty fitting Arcadia, Channel F , and Vectrex titles in them. Anything smaller than a Neo Geo or NES cart should fit just fine. There's a few pics below in case somebody else wants to do the same

They are a simple solution and a cheap at Goodwill or other thrift stores.

Those cases are flimsy as hell, no way would I use those.

You can pad them out with foam to protect the cartridge and its still going to be more robust than a cardboard box. Unless you plan to throw the cases against the wall, the carts should be safe enough.

What do you do with the VHS tapes inside them?

I keep them in the same plastic bag from the thriftstore I get the tapes from, and only remove them when I need a an empty case. 50 cents or less for a good solid case is worth it!
