Gameboy cartridge carrying case?

Gameboy cartridge carrying case. Looking for a way to carry GBA cartridges around without mucking them up. [MI please]
A year or so ago, I noticed a friend carrying a small pleather book, about the size of daily planner that, when opened, contained plastic sleeves in which to carry Gameboy Advance cartridges. (kind of like a cross between a cd wallet and a floppy holder) Try as hard as I might, I have spent the last 6 months looking online and in retail stores for one of these. (I am not looking for the small colored plastic holders that hold one cartridge)
Does anyone know where I can track one of these babies down? I’m afraid of hurting my games when I take them with me!

You could always build your own. Scroll down until you get to the suitcase.

Response by poster: Someone had bought it for him, and he had no clue where it was from or who to ask since he’d had it so long.

Lizc, you've probably picked up the gamestop one by now, but perchance the pleather one you described was a daily organizer with plastic business-card-holder pages. I would think GBA carts would fit nicely in a business-card slot assuming the plastic was soft and stretchy enough.

Response by poster: Nah, Gamestop didn't have any in stock, I'm probably going to order that one though, as it fits 20 or so games and the one I remember only fit 16(?)or so.
Thats an interesting though Britain, but I'm not sure I follow per say, I'll have to look one of those up when I get home.

Order a blank cartridge. They run about $100, but you can fit, like, 5 or 6 games on them. I just load up a few games that I want (ROMs are very easy to find, and you can back up your own games and saves), and take the one cartridge with me.

I keep mine in an old Crown Royal bag, and they haven't gotten banged up or anything. This may be a little declassé for you, however.

I also recommend a flash cart. It's pricey, but it seriously cuts down on the number of carts you carry around.
