Right now I have Wii Sports kept in a jewel case, but I want to print this:
but I have no idea where to cut or where to fold. I've never used The Cover Project before, so can someone quickly explain what to do?

If you want a cover for a DVD case, download one of the other 12 available covers. I like the one 6th or 7th from the bottom, personally.
What you need to do download this by clicking the link for the cover you want. Then if you scroll down, click on the Download link for that cover.
You will download a 300 dpi version of the cover to your hdd.
Then you'll need a printing program that recognizes 300 dpi images. Such programs included Photoshop (any vsn), Paint Shop Pro, or GIMP. GIMP is a freeware, open source image editor.
Open it in the image editor, tell the program to print landscape, and make sure it's printing at 300 dpi without 'adjusting' the image size. Then print.
Regular bright white printer paper works great, no need for glossy paper. Matte paper will work, as long as it's thin and light and not 'heavy weight' matte paper.
Lastly, printing on Legal size paper is preferable, as most covers extend to the edges of regular Letter paper. If you have a borderless printer, you'll be fine on Letter for the most part. Otherwise, Legal size will make things easier.

Legal size does the job great. Unfortunately, I don't think they make it with the right kind of texture that would make it completely perfect for the job.
But size-wise, it's tops.

Here's what I did --
I had some extra blank, empty, black DVD cases laying around.
I don't have many DVDs, but my friend does. I looked through his collection, and sure enough, he had a couple of movie DVDs with white cases. So he let me switch the inserts and DVDs of the cases so that his movie was in the black case with its original cover/inserts, and I had a blank white case.
So.. just ask your friends if you can do the same, if you need 1 white case for Wii Sports. There's actually quite a few DVD movies in white cases out there.

I used glossy photo paper for my Wii Sports case, worked great.
Legal size?

Letter actually, with a borderless printer. If you look close, you can tell the label doesn't quite wrap all the way around the case, it's off by like 2 millimeters at best. It really isn't that noticeable though, especially with a white case.

I know for a fact Toys R Us just throws out old clamshells (DVD cases with an insert for a game but never actually had any game inside it) when we don't get the games in anymore. That's how I got a white DVD case for Wii Sports--we got a hojillion Twilight Princess cases and didn't know what to do with them all.
I'm sure it can't hurt to ask, and it beats paying a couple of dollars for empty cases if some store is just going to throw them out anyway, right?
