This review is from: Nintendo DSi - 18 In 1 Starter Kit (Accessory)

Pro - 2 styli thingie (works)
- 1 car charger (works)
- 1 wrist strap (works)
- 3 game cases (works)
- 1 SD to USB card reader (works)
- 1 split audio jack (works)
- 1 set of ear buds (works)
- 1 baggie for it all (works)
- 1 charging stand (works)
So why all the pros and two stars? well here is why. got the item for some KEY things and others that were just handy.

- Screen protectors (only for upper screen unless you cut them yourself, in which case why did i just buy a kit at a local store)
- Case (fits the DS lite but not the DSi at all)

The case is the one that made me give this product such a low score. How can a company get the dimensions for the stand right but not the case? Be warned that if you buy this the inside is very small and pushes the L and R triggers inward in order to close the case. FYI the DSi is a little wider and longer but shorter when compared to the DS lite. I have had similar problems with other products that fail to notice a change in design that is simple enough to know, i would think. FAIL.

This review is from: Nintendo DSi 18-In-1 Starter Kit - Blue (Accessory)

I purchased this for my son. It matches his DSi and looks great! The quality is very good as well. The case is a semi-hard so it protects the DSi well, although to use the DSi you need to remove it from the case. One complaint I do have however, is the light on the charger is incrediably bright. Do not put this in a room where a child sleeps or they will stay up all night. Other than that a great kit!

2.0 out of 5 stars Black 18 in 1 starter kit, April 24, 2009

This review is from: Nintendo DSi - 18 In 1 Starter Kit (Accessory)

When I got my DSi, this was the only kit available from Amazon.com. I have to say, for the price I paid I am very disapointed. The main items in the kit are the zippered case, headphones, charger dock, and car charger. To bring the numbers up, they throw in a bunch of junk like: drawstring bag, 2 styli, screen protectors, 4 "cleaners", headphone adapter (for dual headphones), wrist strap, came cases, second wrist strap with clip.

What I really wanted was the zippered case and the car charger. The case is OK, but nothing great. There are no straps to hold your DSi in - so if it comes open accidently your DSi will fall out. There are also no pockets of any kind for holding games in the case.

The car charger is OK too, but I was disapointed that it wasn't a USB charger and a USB car adapter - not that the ad said it was, just that i would prefer that.

The screen wipes, or whatever they are called - just plain dumb and used to raise the numbers for the kit. Totally useless and cheap crap. Why would you ever need more than 1 anyway?

2 Styli - again, why?

Screen protectors - not really needed, but lots of people love to use these things. I guess some folks will get use out of them. I didn't.

Wrist strap for DSi - I actuallylike this item. It makes me feel safer knowing if I drop my DSi (with the strap on my wrist) I will find it dangling and not on the ground in peices.

Game cases - seem decent, but I like to keep my current games in one of those hard wallets that holds 6 games.

Drawstring bag - useful for putting all the extra junk in and tossing a box.

USB SD card reader - I suppose this could be handy for most people, but I use SD+USB from Sandisk, so not needed.

Charging Dock - you have to use your own DSi charger for this to work or use the car charger. Seems to be of good construction, but I have not used it yet. it will be worthless once i get a skin case.

I hope others looking at this will find the info useful. [....]
