Carts typically go in the plastic cases. We use the custom style ones for SNES and Genesis and print the labels to go with them. NES, we just use the original plastic cases from Nintendo.
does anyone make the protective cases for sega 32x?
Are you talking about the game carts?
If so, they fit just fine in UGCs which is what I use. However, Stone Age Gamer is working on a Genesis Bitbox that would hold regular Genesis carts, EA Genesis carts, 32x carts, Master System carts and Famicom carts (which obviously doesn't fall under "Genesis," but they just happen to fit). Check out their Facebook page to see the pictures of the prototypes. I don't believe they are available to order yet, but I might be wrong.
***EDIT*** Their Facebook page says Summer of 2016 for Genesis Bitbox.

actually both, i have boxed and loose carts, but would eventually have all boxed.
I saw this after I asked the question and ordered some of the ones I linked.. The ones I linked i received yesterday, and they appear to be about a 1/2 longer than the original plastic protectors. Are JimPole that same way?

By memory and pictures on my phone, it seems that Jim's are minimally larger than NES boxes. Couldn't be a much better fit.
I just use videogameboxprotectors's er... box protectors for my SNES, NES and Game Boy games. I also use their 3DO boxes on a portion of my collection that they fit. I have a bunch of console boxes I'd be interested in protecting if someone has an easy and customizable solution for that, outside of just cutting up clear plastic myself.
the solid wall of blue is SNES, the multicolored ones are N64, im still debating what exactly to do with them
Man. Gotta say. Those clamshells look pretty gross when you have that many in one place. It looks more like some office supply closet or the back room of a video rental store than a gaming room. Not being able to see the individual art or titles, or even the cartridges themselves sucks any joy out of looking at a collection.
I bought a slew of the video game box protectors everyone else is mentioning when I first started collecting SNES CIB games. Since then, I've been buying large numbers of the fancy acrylic cases from VGAcases on ebay. They are expensive, but he cuts me a solid deal for large bulk purchases and they are absolutely beautiful.
If it came with a plastic case, it's sitting in the case. I've got a few large boxes I store some carts in. For the rest, the only protection I've got is putting the pin edge against the wall of the shelf it is sitting in.

Here's what I've been working on a bit last two days:
Great way to store games, not too expensive (Like $1.50ish/cast including ink/paper), and lets you customize your collection so it's YOUR collection.
Damn Ozz, those are pretty slick.
^ that is nice...where did you get those cases from?
They're Euro-style DS cases, I buy them right from ebay in bulk sets. Pretty sure they're OEM, if not, they're a damned good nock-off.
...Oh you meant for my games?

BitBoxes from Stone Age Gamer all the way.
I second this. Being in the military I make frequent moves and want my collection to be safe.

SNES/N64 - UGC
DS/3DS/GCN/Wii/WiiU/PS1-3 - OEM Casing
Shadowfox/Bitboxes - NES, haven't made a decision
DS style - GB and GBA
Original clamshells - Genesis
No solution figured out for N64
Most of my carts are naked though. Priority has been getting carts for the foreseeable future.
No interest in cardboard boxes
Loose from other systems - keep em naked.
Boxed NES/SNES/GB/GBA/N64/VB - I use videogameboxprotectors.com
^ it was only a matter of time lol...
