4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic product, but a tiny bit chubby, June 12, 2009
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: DSi TekCase - Black (Accessory)
Oh, how I love game cases. I am a person who frequently drops the expensive things I own, and it's fantastic to have a bit of extra coverage just in case. I have the PlayThru Pocket from Logitech and the Theater case from Nyko with built-in battery for my PSP, and a case from Nyko for my old DS, but what about the new DSi? That's where the TekCase comes in. The TekCase is durable and hardy, and it doesn't feel cheap and plasticky like cheaper cases can feel. It has a slot for the camera to peek through, and to remove the stylus, there's a tiny switch you push up so it pops out the side. Very handy. It was pretty easy to put in; just pop the DSi into the lower half, snap down the power adapter in the back, and snap the system into the case. When it's in, it doesn't come out, although it can be a bit difficult to remove. It's fairly compact, but I hated that the power outlet in the back wasn't flush with the rest of the case, as it made the whole thing look a bit clumsily put together in portrait.
My favorite feature, though, is the battery. From a side view, one can see a tiny bit of extra girth on the bottom, where a slim battery is hiding. All you have to do is charge the DS through the slot the case adds on in the back (a garden-variety MiniUSB port, nothing proprietary, very nice touch) with the included charger. Also, since it's just USB, you can pop the cable out of the AC adapter and into your computer to supply the juice on the go. The battery TRIPLES the life of the DSi, which is very helpful, seeing as the battery life has been reduced from that of the DS Lite. It charges quickly, and includes very helpful LEDs on the side of the case to tell you about the charge status. The only thing that I didn't like about the battery is that it adds a bit of thickness and girth that made it difficult to pocket the device.
One other minor gripe: the bubble packaging. I wish the entire manufacturing industry would do away with this. I've actually avoided buying products that use it. It does nothing to discourage theft, and assumes that you, an innocent consumer (hopefully) are a thief, and you need to be stopped from opening something that you have purchased. It's even sillier for this product, since it's online only and not sold in stores. It's a minor gripe, but something that is a constant pain in the neck for me and many others. I greatly appreciate Amazon's steps to get rid of bubble packaging and reduce unnecessary waste.

PROS:
Includes rechargeable battery that nearly triples the life of the DSi
Easy to install
Includes charger
Can charge right from your computer's USB port if desired
Protects DSi from drops and scratches

CONS:
Battery adds weight and thickness
The charging plug in the back sticks out about 1/2 inch which looks bad and makes it harder to put the already large device in your pocket
Bubble packaging

Overall, a winner, despite the added weight and thickness. The battery definitely comes in handy, and it does a good job of protecting my DS.

5.0 out of 5 stars TekCase is a must have!, April 8, 2010

This review is from: DSi TekCase - Pink (Accessory)
We bought this in conjunction with the initial purchase of the DSI...it has been great! We sometimes take long trips and the extra battery life is simply a life saver. The case is tough enough to withstand anything you can muster, however, it is a glossy finish so it is easily scratched. Adding a matte finish is the only thing I'd change on it. Kudos to the design engineers!
