Sega Game Gear Cases

Does anyone know of any Sega Game Gear and/or Master System cover templates?

I got a little project in the works and finding a template would be a nice kick start.

I made a quick and dirty (but I think better than a lot of efforts) template here: http://www.smspower.org/forums/16010-CoverArtCompetition2016

Ah nice one! Thanks :) Still also interested in a Game Gear one if anyone know of any.

Might as well also ask this, out of the styles used which game gear cover style do you guys like the most?

I'm looking for Game Gear label templates if anyone wants to share. I might just make one though, I doubt it's too hard.

I took a scan at the DPI I wanted, then drew over the top for any elements that are consistent between games. I cheated a bit by rounding the grid spacing to a whole number of pixels, but that makes little difference at high resolution. The hard part is matching the fonts. Vector Sega logos are easy enough to find online.

Thanks : )

I've now created templates for game gear covers (EU grey chequered style and the US purple style) to fit this case solution I'm working on. (beware, I've taken some freedom with the designs) I did a few covers for some games only to realise I made a mistake by not making the templates 300dpi.. I finished redoing the templates today in 300dpi and have made a cover for Sonic Labyrinth in each of the 2 styles.

Got a friend who does greeting cards etc, printing/cutting/folding and I'm getting her to print those 2 covers for me this week hopefully.

Once that is done I'll start posting some pictures of my prototypes of the case solution with these covers and share :).

I will eventually share all my work (templates, cad models etc) when I'm happy with everything being a perfect fit.

Update: My friend printed the covers, unfortunately it seems the cut is a tiny bit off (too big) so had to trim them (by hand so a tiny bit wonky) to make them fit so the case would close.

But I think it looks pretty neat! (The back of the case is a tiny bit annoying where it's making it slightly harder to read some of the text, but not a huge deal breaker for me personally)

Google drive with EU and Purple design templates + some of the covers I've made so far for anyone interested:

I'll continue to add covers as I do them to the Covers folder.

I haven't got around to ordering any foam inserts yet (might do so soon though), I'll eventually share the foam insert designs too.
