Hacking Best NDS Lite Case

[krad]

I have a psp and a ds lite. I love my logitech hard plastic case for my psp. Are there any hard cases for my new ds lite?

Anyone recommend and cases?

Did you ever find one?

This one seems almost perfect: http://videogame.brando.com.hk/prod_detail...=008&cat_id=019

I wish they'd show a bottom view though to see how much the game slots make a difference in the overall form factor.
Actually, I wish it didn't have game slots at all. ;>

You know, I asked the same question like months ago. I can't remember what people recommended. But I've been browsing around and you should check out www.bestskinsever.com. It's very similar to InvisiShield, but alot cheaper. But if you're looking for cases you don't have to apply, there are some Logitech-like cases on eBay.

The case i have is perfect.. Fits the ds lite like a glove!

i even went and made a paper skin for the inside like the logitech case. A nice mario skin... maybe i take picks later.

Check these out. I was thinking of getting one, but shipping is a bit too much, I'm waiting til I need more stuff before I order.

i could understand it with the PSP, that thing looks easily breakable...but the DS alread has a hard plastic cover. sure, another hard plastic cover on top of it would keep it from getting nick'd but if you drop it, the momentum and force are going to be just the same, it'll probably break with or without the hard case (i'm not gonna test it), wouldnt you want something with a little more absorbtion?

i only like to keep the dslite and the psp in my pockets.... i wanted something that would stop scratches and shock/absorbtion away from the ndslite or psp. The hard case works well. I believe the nds is better with shock and drops because there are no moving parts like a psp. I beat the hell out of my blackberry and don't want to beat up the nds.

I really only wanted something to keep lint and the dirt in my pockets from getting all inside the ds's various openings.

I'll get it tommorow and I'll let you know how it is...

That Black Horns case has holes all in it (to access the NDS Lite's functions/buttons).

Holes on a case seems counterproductive to me.

I got this one: http://videogame.brando.com.hk/prod_detail...=008&cat_id=019

I'll try to get better pictures as soon as I get it.

this is identical to the one i had recommened... you should be happy with it.

I agree, with the whole ds exposed to the elements thing. That one has got a simple hinge latch right? Seems very cheapily designed almost like a business card flap from the pics. Do show more.

This one seems nice. Can you play the dsl with the case still attached to it or do you have to remove it? I am looking for a case that I don't have to keep removing whenever I want to play my dsl.

I don't have my camera at the moment but...Here is what I thought about it...

The case adds around 3mm of thickness to the ds lite - It leaves holes for volume, gba cart, headphones, stylus, power, L+R, DS cart, charge port, hand strap, and hinge.

The ds lite can open up to the first "notch" (DS's can open up to the first notch or the second notch where it is "flat"). And is fully playable while in the case.

It did add some weigt but not a significant amount. Finally, the DS lite looks very sexy with the case on...
