2.0 out of 5 stars Subpar, January 5, 2007

Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

I got this because I don't like keeping all my DS games in separate boxes that don't fit quite right on my game shelf with all the empty space they leave behind above them. To date I had just kept the cards stacked in a pile like they were a pile of quarters. It just took a few times knocking them over and almost losing a few to prompt me to get a case. Most cases only carry 2 or 3 games, which seems reasonable for travel. I bought this because a pair of them would hold every game I've got.

This case is pretty big to carry around, about the size of a small pocket paperback book. It's not on the product page, but it's 163mm x 92mm x 24mm. But, again, holding 8 DS games + 3 GBA games wouldn't be for light travel anyway. There is no real joint on this: it's just a slab of plastic that with time opening and closing the case I would expect to get real thin and eventually break. At least it's double disconnected so you only have to flex the plastic a total of 90 degrees on each side to lay it open flat on a table.

It's really HARD to open at first but then the hold gets progressively weaker. It must wear like the "joint" would in the future. I dropped (about 60 cm) it open and half of the things popped out. Ok, no biggie. I dropped it CLOSED and it sprang open with half the things popping out again. Definitely wouldn't want to bring it traveling.

Personally I would have liked a fourth GBA slot instead of an extra battery considering that you can't replace the battery without a SMALL cross screwdriver and the case doesn't even come with one yet the slots in the case are there for a screwdriver of a very specific size. While getting rid of the battery slot and screwdriver slot, another stylus holder would be nice. Also worth noting is that only the original DS stylus will fit.

Overall it's pretty disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just right for my games, May 8, 2007

By	Katrina N. Jones "Silver Phantom" (Missouri) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

I got this before studying abroad in hopes to cut down on the bulk of things I'm packing, This case is great to use, holding my games safely while traveling and easy access too. I had no use of the small area meant to hold an extra battery and a small screwdriver, but I'm still glad that I got this for my games.

And just to warn, no, it's not meant to hold the actual DS, lite or otherwise, just the games.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a good design, August 7, 2007

By	abismom (NM, USA) - See all my reviews

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

I purchased this for my daughter as she has a lot of games and I wanted a safe place for them. She immediately had a problem. Her Nintendo DS lite games snapped into the compartments just fine, but it was almost impossible to get them out again without breaking the actual game or manhandling the end of the game that you're not supposed to touch. With her hovering nervously nearby I ended up using a plastic knife to prize them back out but obviously this is not practical. We sent it back. I would not recommend this item.
