Nintendo News | DS Plastic Case and Game Holders

By Jorge Ba-oh 12.09.2006 8

With the DS (Lite) being the gadget to take on the move, there are chances that damage could be done to the sexy shell. Accessories manufacturer Hori have come up with several nifty solutions to protecting your portable gaming investment.

First up is a game holder / protector for the DS Lite that, whilst being one of the ugliest inventions, is a unique way to store up three DS cards on the move without having to carry an extra game wallet or risking losing the tiny pieces of plastic. The casing slides onto the top of the Lite, locking into place.



Next up, a nice looking slide-cover for the DS Lite avaliable in two colours (black/white). Also from Hori, the casings slide and lock onto the console to protect from damage, whilst still retaining its fairly sleek look and style.


Finally, a fabric/cloth cover for the original DS which again slides onto the unit and is held into place by overlapping onto the two faces like a book cover.

For additional images and more information, check out Game Watch's coverage of the various cases here.

Stick with C3 for future updates...

Looks pretty good - I like the Lite casing (without the game holders) - looks quite durable and doesn't overbulk the DS too much!

I'm liking the Lite-one, might get one myselfSmilie The one with the game-cases on it, that isSmilie

Most of these cases are really crap. I got one for the PSP and it scares you to put the system into it with how it slides in. I wouldn't bother with the extra protection, to me the DS Lite is cheap enough to not have to worry that much.

BOWSER HAS RESET MY STARS TO ZERO FOR INSULTING TEH SYSTEM!

I got one for the PSP

PSP-DS... Not really the sameSmilie

I have to say that red casing on the chunky DS looks horrible and that 3 game catridge is jamaffis Smilie. Nice addition though, I know I wouldn't like my DS lite being scratched, if I had one that is. Accessories FTW!

Ahh the game cartridge holder could of been concealed if they would of thought of that. it doesnt look very appealing , but yet it is useful and the second one looks good but i wont know that until i try it out myself. As far as the third it is a waste of time & money and looks really ugly and cheaply made...


My Ways are far to advanced for you to comprehend!

Lol, I agree with you on all those points - well said. They could have done the cart holder much better, it seems very tacky/could easily break.

The DS in general is a tough piece of kit - really hard to mess it up.
