Product Description

Editorial Review

This durable case is designed for toting the popular Leapster around on car trips, plane rides, or anywhere kids might travel. It holds up to six Leapster cartridges in a rear pouch and has room for the Leapster itself in the main zippered compartment, which sports a soft fleece lining. The case is relatively lightweight and doesn't feature the hard shell that some might like for protecting the Leapster but the soft plastic covering should provide protection for most accidental knocking around. --Charlie Williams

1.0 out of 5 stars Accident waiting to happen, September 7, 2005

This review is from: LeapFrog Leapster Carrying Case (Toy)

The problem with this case is that if you zip up your Leapster even once in the case while a game is in your Leapster it will most likely break the zipper on the case, and make the case entirely worthless. This is precisely what happened to our case.

While older children may be thoughtful enough to avoid doing this, by five year old son is not, and I doubt most other young children are -- no matter how much they are threatened by their parents.

So, our case lasted us about two weeks. So I bought a Fisher-Price Pixter case on sale for $10, and it works much, much better. It carries all the games, and carries the Leapster with a game inserted -- and I think it protects the Leapster better as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT WORTH IT !!!, December 20, 2004

Most reviewers here were writing only about the leapster and not about the case. My friend has a case. Fortunately I examined hers before buying one. I am glad I did not buy it. The case is soft and readily collapes. It is very poor quality. I wish I could give it 0 stars. The pocket which holds extra cartridges is simply a mesh pocket with an elastic band closure and it is easy for the cartridges to escape.
Instead I purchased a small sturdy cosmetic case for eight bucks which works well. My friend ended up throwing hers away and buying a similiar case. Do not buy this, it is not worth the money.

I noticed that most reviewers here were writting only about the leapster and not about the case. I waited to buy the case until I could get my hands on it and really check it out to determine whether I thought it was worth the [$$$]. I was very dissappointed in the quality of the case and chose not to buy it. The case is soft and easily bendable or collapsable, not hard, and has a minimal lining. I wouldn't even call it cushioned. The lining is a synthetic material similar to fleece-like what some of my winter coat pockets are lined with. The area which "holds" extra cartridges is simply a mesh pocket with an elastic band "closure". I did like how the case zipped shut. For [$$$] I was expecting a much firmer case, with some dense foam padding to protect the leapster in case of impact. I also thought that the sleeve in which to store back up cartridges was flimsy and not secure-it also should have had a zippered closure and some padding or at least dividers to protect the cartridges. All this being said, the case will probably still appeal to a great number of Leapster owners and will be adequate. I was just hoping for a much better quality case, and thought that for $20 it should have been made better. I will say that I have 2 leapsters that have been heavily used by my 3 & 4 yr old boys for about two months. (My rating stars are for the Leapster itself) I do think they are an amazing teaching toy that is of very high quality. They have worked without any problems. We did call Leap Frog to inquire about using rechargeable batteries and were advised not to. I read in a review that a woman did use them and had no issues. We also have been using rechargeable batteries without issues. I really wish that this case was better made as I think it would make a very handy accessory to keep and tote a valuable Leapster and it's cartridges. We will continue to use a basic plastic storage box we bought for just a few dollars.
