Storing Game Boy Cartridges in a Tea Bag Holder

People out there are super-creative when it comes to storing and displaying Game Boy cartridges; nail polish displays, tea bag holders, bespoke solutions from Etsy: Everything is better than my messy way of dumping them into a plastic container.

My requirements for a storage solution are:

• My small collection of 36 games plus EverDrive has to fit and provide a little wiggle room for the odd cartridge purchase.
• Storage > fancy display. Bonus points if it doesn’t look like garbage.
• Cartridges have to be easy to access and browse.

After some research I settled on the idea of getting a tea bag holder. Today arrived my bamboo tea box and I am very happy how it turned out.

Hard Facts

• The box fits 45 games if you want to comfortably flip through them. 60 when stored air-tight.
• Individual compartments are 6.5 cm wide according to the product page. In reality it’s different for every compartment and more like 6.3–6.6 cm. That means some may fit cartridges with case, some not.
• Pokémon Pinball with its rumble pak does fit if there is enough space for it to be slant.

Now, how do I store my Game Boy Advance Games 🤔
