2.0 out of 5 stars Didj custom carrying case, September 15, 2008

This review is from: Leapfrog Didj Custom Learning Game Case (Toy)

I have bought several items(toys) from Leapfrog and they have all been great. After I bought the Didj I couldn't wait for the custome carrying case to come out so I could extend the life off the Didj in between my kids playing with it.
The case itself is sturdy. But it snaps shut and doesn't lock shut with a clasp. It unsnaps open very easily. The case holds cartridges but just by pressure and has no mechanism to ensure they do not come out. I have already found the cartridges on the floor in our mini-van.
Advice to not waste your money and buy some sort of video carrying case.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not LeapFrog Quality., October 27, 2008

This review is from: Leapfrog Didj Custom Learning Game Case (Toy)

My son just received this case today as a gift. We were really looking forward to having a sturdy, cool-looking case for his Didj and games. Although it looks cool, the quality stinks. From the moment I took it out of the box, the case did not stay closed. There is no way to ensure that the case stays closed - no lock, latch, zipper, or anything. I have always been pleased with the thoughfulness of LeapFrog's toys, so I'm shocked at the lack of thought that went into this case - especially for the price. Save your money and find another alternative for your Didj. If you want to store or carry the Didj safely, this is NOT the way to go.

It looks as though the case is hit or miss for people. Thankfully, for us it is a hit and we've had no problems whatsoever with it. My six year old son can easily open and close the case by himself and we've yet to have the case open on it's own (about 5 weeks of use).



The case is a hard plastic, with a foam inside. My son only has two games right now, but they easily fit into the recessed areas within the case. True, if the Didj is not also in the case, the cartridges do move freely, but that hasn't really been a problem for us as usually if the case is in motion, it's because the Didj is inside and being transported. The Didj itself fits nicely inside, very snug. The clasping mechanism is purely a pressure one that "clicks". Again, this has proven no problem whatsoever for us in being too hard or too easy to open/close. It just...works.

The case comes with a wrist strap to attach to the Didj by stringing it through existing holes on the controller. There is also a cutout area in the case itself that allows this strap to come out, and so be used while the Didj is inside the case, as well--a nice feature.

The size is very nice, as it is low profile enough to not be cumbersome. It fits the Didj and four games, nothing more, making it ideal protection for everyday, all the time use. We keep the car adapter and headphones in the car, next to my son's seat, for times when he'll need those items. He doesn't need to carry them with him all the time and I didn't want or need a case that would hold *everything*. I'm glad that this case holds exactly what it does.

Overall, the case is slick looking, well functioning, and easy to use. At least for us.

Update 2/18/09: my six year old wanted to show how easy his Didj case is to use. See attached vidio review.
