I am happy that I do not have to search high and low for a replacement charger. My dog often eats the cord on my chargers. This is the nintendo brand one which is nice. It is only good for the lite. That is kind of sad. At least though there is no pieces to loose. It folds up flat for easy storage. I never worry about the prongs getting damaged.

This AC Adapter for the Nintendo DS Lite is identical to the one that comes included with the game system.

One nice feature is that the prongs of the plug swivel in and out. This means that, when folded in, the unit is fairly thin and easy to store. It seems well made and sturdy, even with the moving part.

I have a Nintendo DS Lite that had a lost AC adapter--this replacement works like a charm.

the AC adapter comes with the game, although the site did not make that clear...so now I have two...not sure if I can return it....tbd.

I am bothered by the fact that the item here does not come in the box as pictured and concerned about reports of warranty voids. If it isn't in the appropriate packaging how do we know who really makes it? We did follow another reviewer's advice and picked one up at Target for $12 that is packaged in the box shown here.

No complaints towards this charger, still works great after 8 months, and I expect it to continue.

When my daughter left her adapter that came with her DS in a hotel, we ordered her a new one from Amazon. It was here in only a week, Got her up and running again fast.

The success of the Nintendo DS Lite brought out so many new gamers to a whole new generation of handheld gamers. Yet, for those who purchased the original DS, any of those have a set AC adapter to call their own. However, for the newer editions, you'd have to tackle a different way to plug in and charge up your Nintendo DS system. Well, this DS Lite AC Adapter from Nintendo is very convient and easy to install. Although there is one disadvantage with this AC Adapter. With this one, you unfortunately can't use this with the original Nintendo DS. Still, if you had to choose a adapter to charge up your Nintendo DS, I really recommend one from Nintendo over another company.

I use this at work or when I am traveling. Standard DS Lite adapter, works great.

This item is advertised as a licensed Nintendo charger made/manufactured by Nintendo...please be advised that it is NOT! This is a "generic" no name branded AC adapter made in China and arrives in a cheap flimsy white box shipped from a company listed as UnitedIntegral. No where does it say NINTENDO. We used it a few times until I looked closer and noticed that the color is off from our original, we stopped using it immediatly. Shortly after (within a few days) the Nintendo DS stopped working. We have sent it in to Nintendo for repair (The DS lite is not even a year old yet). Please be advised that using anything other than Nintendo licensed chargers/AC adapters voids your warranty with Nintendo! I will update this review when I receive info back from Nintendo about the repair.

I contacted UnitedIntegral via e-mail to request a replacement with the correct item or a refund. They promptly apologized and said they would issue a refund for the full amount including shipping. Great customer service...false advertisement of product.
