When you proudly look at your shelf of physical Switch games, chances are the one thought that doesn't pop into your is: "I wish these cases were somehow smaller, man".
However, Kotaku reader Mahir obviously feels differently, as they've created Switch cases so small you can only fit the game card inside (which, given that most Switch games don't come with instructions, is all it really needs to contain anyway).
They may not be practical - just imagine how many times you'd lose these things - but golly gosh are they adorable.
Miniaturising things is cool.

That's awesome, now I want to make tiny boxes for my GameBoy games!
Seen them already and have been talking about them this morning, they look great.
Love it. These are gold
Just imagine putting all your cartridges in these small boxes, you’d spend hours finding them than playing in the switch. I’d love a smaller box for the switch games, but not this small
Aaawww..... !!
How Cute !
On the one hand awwww cute, on the other, more crappy plastic for the oceans.
They are very sweet though....
Honey, I shrunk the...game cases!
CUTE!
I need all of them!
Awesome.
Cute, but horribly impractical. That's a great way to lose the cartridge if it slips out of wherever you are keeping those little boxes.
This makes me wanna make my own! (Even if I don't own a Switch yet.) And modified them into keychains, just like the ones we seen last month:

Also @SanderEvers , can you show me a link to the site where they sell only clear cases, instead of multi colors.
That's what they should be in to begin with, ha ha. Nice.
Love them.
There are official ones in Japan: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=GAME-0019649&page=top%2Fsearch%2Flist%3Fs_keywords%3Dsplatoon%24pagemax%3D40%24getcnt%3D0%24pagecnt%3D1
Nah, cute but too easy to misplace. I already have a lonely GBA Super Mario World cart hiding somewhere.
Extremely well made, but sort of defeats the purpose of the case doesn't it?
@Nintendoforlife but the case should be meant to protect the game, not to make it easier to find it, am I right?
Not to mention that those cases can be cute, but the thing inside tastes like s***
@LuckyLand In my opinion that's more geared towards discs over cartridges. I'm not really concerned with a cartridge being scratched up the same way I am with a disc. On the other hand it's far easier to locate a disc than it it is to locate a catridge.
@Siskan thanks for the link to the product page.
i may get some of these for my Nintendo switch games. i already have some for a few of my game boy games.
@stevenw45 No problem! I hope they will continue to make these as more titles are released. It would be nice with third party games too.
Cute, but I'd lose all of them. Keeping up with the carts is enough.
Love these can you buy them definite purchase for me if you can
@Siskan
for now lets stick with the first party games. once they get the quality control right, which should be easy; than it will be time to make them for 3rd party games.
besides i am not going to be using these to store any games in. they will just make great key-chains to go with my collection of Nintendo games and accessories.
I’d get them but instead of using them put them in a dollhouse. They’re just about the right size.
Indeed very cute, but horribly impractical.
Very cool!
Nice.
Boooo they're a bit environmentally friendly! I want a couple of AES/MVS Neo Geo cartridge box's to store single switch games in! 😂 😂 (I've actually got some in the other room!) might covert my Last Blade 2 box later on for Smash Brothers Ultimate.
In all seriousness though, I like these diddy cases. Let's be honest here. The current official Nintendo Switch boxes are a touch impractical size wise. Well they are now I've seen these at least.
