Do you, Amazon people, read the reviews? there are already 2 about the same problem. We think that we are ordering the grey case and receive a pink one. Why don't correct this including a way to choose the color. There is really a picture, very small, which can be amplified, with the other colors, but there is no option to choose. Now the case is already in Brazil, no way to return it! I don't know what to do with the pink case, it is intended for my sons birthday!

The picture is grey, i received a pink one. it is for a boy. what am i going to do with a pink one?, i need change the color.

although the picture is grey, i received a pink one. it is for a boy. what am i going to do with a pink one? i am going to contact amazon and see what they say.

::UPDATE:: i contacted customer service to return this item. they were SUPER nice and was going to cover all shipping and handling since amazon is at fault. i've decided to swap it with my friend's. i've noticed that since it's $9.99 case, the inside plastic molding that's supposed to fit the buttons and such can be skewed. but i plan on just using it as a carrying case, i don't think i will use the DS while attached to this case.

I think this case wanted to hold DS in but didnt't quite grow big enough!
Its a tight fit! I bent the zipper trying to close it, there is nowhere to put any cames, a bit of a waste of money really! Go for one of the bigger ones!!!

I don't know what color this case is when ordered from Amazon; I bought mine elsewhere (mine's a svelte dark blue). However, since there don't seem to be very many good reviews for the case's usefulness, I'll drop one here.

The case is just big enough to fit a DS lite, which is what attracted me to it. There is also a zippered pocket on the underside of the case that is the perfect size for three or four DS games. I use a small plastic game holder--Nintendo DS 3pk Game Card Case--to keep my games undamaged and easy to retrieve. If you need to carry just a DS with a few games, then this case is worth considering.

However, its design is mediocre at best. There is a plastic holder inside the case meant to be slid onto the bottom half of the DS, allowing you to use the DS while still in the case. The holes in the plastic are generally cut well enough when it comes to using the directional pad, the four letter buttons, and the R and L triggers, but access to the power key and volume key is difficult (possible, but difficult). It is impossible to remove the stylus while the DS is in the case. As one would expect, the DS will not close all the way because the plastic is too thick.

On a more positive note, I'm finding that despite this case's obvious shortcomings, I am actually enjoying it a lot. Its slim size is perfect for when you just want to take your DS with you. It has a small clip for attaching it to something (useless for me) and a loop that you can use to carry it. When you are not using the loop it slides into two elastic bands just inside the hinge of the case and is completely out of the way. I've taken to storing an extra stylus in the elastic bands as well, since access to the DS's stylus is impossible unless I remove it completely from the case.

Additionally, I have been leaving the DS inside the case because it is very pleasant to use that way. I have large hands, and the DS is slightly too small for comfort. The case adds enough padding on the bottom (particularly with games in the pocket) that the whole system feels much more secure and comfortable in my hands.

If you want a small case that will allow you to carry your DS and a few games without worrying about scratches and so forth, then this case may well be worthwhile. Otherwise, you should forego the frustrations of this case in favor of something else.

This case is good for protecting your Nintendo DS, if you have small amount of games...is perfect.

The case is useful in itself, but I received a pink one and, since the present is for a boy, he did not like it so much. I did not notice the color of the case when ordering. It would be useful to make the options more visible in the page. thanks

My Nintendo is protected in its new case and it also has some space for the games. I received in white color, I would prefer it in a darker color to keep it clean, but white is also beautiful

No me gustó el plastico interno que sirve para sostener el equipo. Me parece que no se ajusta bien y tiende a deformarse. Es muy incómodo utilizar el Nintendo DS dentro del estuche.

I don't think this is a good case for the DS Lite. But I don't use a case with my DS Lite. This is a GREAT case for the Creative Zen Vision W, after you cut out the clear plastic part.
