Wii U Replacement Game Cases (US)?

[xXFloydianXx]

So, yeah, some may not deem this too serious of an issue, because it really isn't.

However, in purchasing a Wii U game recently (a couple, actually), I discovered the artwork deformed from the idiotic eco-box it was stored in. Luckily, even though half of my OG Wii games started appearing with these cases a few years ago, I was able to easily replace them with the older official cases.

Now with Wii U, I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't switched back from these cases, as Microsoft did with the Xbox 360 with the at least marginally superior Eco-Lite cases.

For those that don't know what an Eco-Box is:



This is what Microsoft switched to after many complaints of it (except they're transparent green):




So my question: Are there any good alternative cases for Wii U games out there? Do not recommend the current POS third party cases on eBay; I've tried those once for regular DVDs, and their quality is garbage.

It seems that the US is the only ones stuck with these cases, while Nintendo Japan/Europe supply the superior Amaray Wii U cases.

Is there any supplier here in the US that sells official Amaray cases (colored, like Wii U)? I don't care if there's a Nintendo logo in it or not.

Or maybe HK-based Viva (the one responsible for Eco-Boxes) has a hidden section for buying normal cases?

I am guessing your US based. Nintendo UK/Ireland is still using stardard cases.
all 8 of my wiiU games came in standard cases.

Yes, as implied in OP.

You're lucky, btw.

You're in UK, do you know any stores [or know the one you went to for GameCube cases] that sells those? Maybe they have an online store counterpart?

I don't do the Paypal thing, so I can't use that. Meh, I'll have to somehow find an online UK games importer here in the US.

Most likely that the artwork was pushed through the holes in the eco case, as can happen when there is a lot of weight on top of either side of the case. In some extreme cases, a distracting outline of the eco case's holes is seen when looking at the cover because of the deformaties.
