Hacking Best DSLite cases?

[PBC]

I spent awhile looking for a good DS lite case as well. I went for something that would be thin, wouldn't add much to the size of the ds (something like a skin...) but with more protection. I saw some cases that were more like skins and some cases which were cheap little rubber covers....

I went with the DS Lite CapDase Silicon Skin/Case Hybrid. Its a silicon case with a ridgid plastic shell that helps it snap right around the ds lite. I love the case personally. It feels tough enough to protect while not adding alot of thickness. Its smooth and it looks awesome on the black DS lite. now people think i have a drug scale/wack PDA. =P

Here is a short review offered by DCEMU. http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=55809

The only things against this choice would be...its probably shipping from china...I haven't found it locally.
It includes little stoppers for the headphone and power ports...they get lost...
and one more important thing i had to do.....I had to file down the hole which the powercord plugs through to help it fit the cord easier. I found that without this extra room the plug wouldn't stick securely in and would pop out if I openned the Ds to its upright position.

Well hope this helps.

Hmm not a fan of silicon cases myself. Does the skin fit tightly around the DSL when it is both opened and closed? Most silicon skins are loose when the DS is opened.

I still prefer the hard case. I'm just having trouble finding a cheap Joytech one online.

that looks remarkably similar to the 'crystal dslite' case

The case fits the same both open and close because of the hard plastic shell that snaps around both the bottom and top parts.The case is snug but not stretched at all. Its alittle thicker silicon too unlike other ds cases. Its not too thick tho. I've seen a paper thin floppy silicon case that my friend got and it gets stretched out from removing and putting it back on...

Anyways. Happy Gaming.

has anyone tried the anti fingerprint protectors from Hori?

No, I thought they'd look awkward. I might consider them later, but for the price, no way!

Hori is a very good company to buy from for DS accessories. I have two pouches by Hori, very durable. For the price they're worth it.
